The skill of others that exists out there in the world is truly wonderful. Case in point; I just discovered a YouTube channel called The Scalemodeling Channel. Here, you’ll find endless videos of amazingly detailed scale builds. A perfect example of this is seen in the video below. The builder starts with parts from a […]

This past weekend, I was down in Florida for the 2022 Mecum Auction in Kissimmee. There were some amazing machines on display, but one caught my eye after a second glance. That’s because, at first glance, I simply saw a 1963 split-window Corvette in a nice shade of blue. But it was with my second […]

Have you thought about the Mercedes-Benz CLS450 in a while? It’s okay if you haven’t. I’m curious if Mercedes itself is thinking about it. The vehicle as it sits today is totally fine. But when the rest of your lineup exists in or is moving towards a zone of stellar awesome, fine doesn’t cut it. […]

If you were angling for electrified pickup action in your driveway, which one would you be choosing? Of the three, it seems the Rivian […]
Over on the Hooniverse Podcast, we’ve been talking about dashcams recently. That’s because my podcast co-host Ron Baugh randomly captured an amazing moment of karma. He was driving along in a convoy heading to SEMA when a driver in a car not related to the group chucked a cup of soda out their window towards […]
