    The Super73-Z Miami is the evolution of the brand’s entry-level electric bike. It is an improvement over the original Z1 based on feedback from Super73 customers. You have more power, a removable battery, and a greater range. And it starts at just under $2,000. I still prefer the more expensive RX lineup of bikes. But…

    My Montero has been working hard for most of its life. At least I assume as much since it’s a vehicle designed to go… well, anywhere. And I’m now taking it easy on the thing, even if it shows 326,000 miles on its odometer. Still, I’d like it to look good, which occasionally means addressing…

    Do you ever think it would be nice to have a modern car to use on a daily basis? Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to say goodbye to my car from 1991, my car from 1986, and the car from 1984 that hasn’t had an engine in (let me check my notes)…

    I said I wasn’t going to put a roof on top of my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero. Plans change. Especially when those plans change to work around an incredibly light bit of kit that I can easily take on and off my truck. The fine folks at Go Fast Campers reached out to see if I…

    I don’t ride motorcycles, but I’m fascinated by motorcycle protection. From armored-up jeans to full Bubble Boy outfits, there are a ton of options for gear. And one of the more interesting families of motorcycle gear is the air protection system built into the Dainese Smart Jacket. Now it’s apparently even better because Dainese has…

    I swear a lot in this video… and it’s the car’s fault. The Porsche 911 GT3 Touring is pretty much anything I could ever want in a sports car. You have amazing power and noise from the 4.0-liter flat-six engine out back, a tremendous gearbox with the six-speed stick, and levels of performance upon which…

    Did you hear automakers are considering charging monthly fees for certain features? BMW is in the news for testing this out in a handful of markets. We think it’s insane.

    Whenever we go back east, my wife, daughter, and I cover a few miles. That’s because family is spread between New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Thankfully, my job allows me the ability to snag vehicles a fair bit better than what’s available at the local rental lots. And I did just that on…

    Remember AMC? That would be the American Motors Corporation, born from the smashed-together ashes of Nash and Hudson. The AMC brand produced sweet rides like the Rambler, Eagle, Javelin, and more. For a while, AMC owned Jeep, and we got the legendary Jeep 4.0-liter engine. But the company ran into money trouble, partnered with French…
