    The Grand Tour returns this September with a pretty darn perfectly titled adventure called A Scandi Flick. In the latest trip, Richard Hammond, James May, and Jeremy Clarkson are tasked with trials while staying up in the Arctic Circle. So you can expect to find seriously cold weather mixed with rally car excellence. And the…

    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…

    Well that’s something you don’t see every day. Browsing through the car social media world and I came across a screenshot of a Carfax advertisement for a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette. Sure enough, I found the listing from RP Exotics LLC via Carfax. You don’t know how bad I wanted it to be CarMax. From the…

    Amidst a flurry of life mayhem I spent a week with the 2022 Cadillac Escalade Sport. Having grown up in a household consisting solely of GM vehicles (Tahoes, mainly) the Escalade stood atop the pedestal of what luxury meant, a symbol of making the financial leap from Chevy to wealthy. Years on, the Escalade still…

    When you look back over some automotive icons and place a “cool” filter on them, the original Meyers Manx bubbles up toward the top. It was peak California, taking a shortened VW Beetle chassis and tossing on a monocoque shell and the bare minimum you’d need to hit the beach. It established the street-legal dune…

    If I look back at the cars that have come through for review over the last fourteen plus years, just about every other year, a Miata/MX-5 makes its way onto the schedule. While that is never a bad thing, at this point, what new is there to say about the MX-5? Miata Is Always The…

    I’ve probably said the word “truck” more while signing along to the Thong Song than I have in any other circumstance. I think I’ll sing it again. Seriously though, the pickup truck is basically the only type of four-wheel vehicle that I haven’t owned (mainstream at least). Still, I’ve driven a ton of new trucks…

It’s one of the cheaper EVs on the market, and since it’s based…

    It was fall of 2019, and I was massively excited to get my very first Honda Civic Type R press loaner. While I had driven it at a press event a couple of years prior, this was my first full week with one. The very first day of the loan I was a few blocks…
