I know how my Mitsubishi Montero drives today. It’s a vehicle with probably 300,000 miles on its chassis, a rebuilt engine, and plenty of creaks and groans. What was it like when it was brand new though? I don’t have to wonder because MotorWeek can answer my question. This is a review of the then-new…

comments
I’m itching to take my Montero somewhere so it can stretch its legs a bit. Right now, all the trails are closed and even the smaller dirt roads I use for photography or video are closed. Nitto has some relief though, in the form of 360-degree videos shot on some great trails. Our friend Andrew…

You have 525 competitors battling in the Nevada desert. The course is brutal. The vehicles are wildly capable. And the drivers excel at pushing themselves and their machines to the limit. And this is what The Mint 400 looks like, captured through the lens of the Mad Media team. This is Race Motion and it’s…

How do you shoot car-to-car footage of a Bugatti Chiron at 250 mph?
/
/
comments
In 2017, a short video appeared on the Internet. It showed a Bugatti Chiron doing something massively impressive. The car went from a standstill up to 400 km/h and then back down to 0. While that bit is neat, the fact the Chiron accomplished this in just 42 seconds is even more amazing. What really captured…

Filming is in progress for “The Batman“, yet another of what feels like a million reboots of the Batman franchise. This one is expected for release on June 25, 2021. Only this time, batdude got himself a pretty badass ride. Not that the Tumbler or the old Batmobiles weren’t cool, but this looks next-level cool…

Here’s what the first real Baja 1000 looked like back in 1967

comments
Back in the early 60’s, a handful of speed seekers set out to find set new records. The goal? A fast blast from Tijuana, Mexicao down to La Paz. The distance is nearly 1,000 miles. And the original crew making the journey did so on the backs of motorcycles. Eventually, some four-wheel fiends wanted in…

Why wagons don’t sell in America

comments
Jason Cammisa and Derek Tamm-Scott sit down and discuss the topic of station wagons in America. Spoiler alert: they both own them. The real shocker is that Derek owns an Audi 200 wagon & Mercedes E450 4matic, while Jason only has a BMW E30 Touring. I won’t spoil the rest of the show, but there…

Jason Cammisa, ex-Head to Head host and, as his viewers remind him, Adam Sandler-lookalike, is now creating videos for vehicle acquisition company ISSIMI. Their latest of such installments delves into the long history of two icons: Shelby, and the Mustang. It all ties together with the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. I wouldn’t be sharing…
