    The C8-generation Chevy Corvette’s base model was already a fast car, so it took throwing a flat-plane-crank V8 into the Z06 for it to become something special. And with that kind of gusto up their sleeve, we’ve known all along that Chevy was going to swing for the fences with the top-dog C8 ZR1. And…

    It wasn’t long ago that if you wanted a factory-built Jeep and a pickup truck, you had to buy both; and, it wasn’t long ago that if you wanted a desert-running factory-built pickup, it meant buying a Ford Raptor. Jeep finally alleviated buyers of this dilemma for the 2020 model year with the Gladiator, and…

    Wheels are about more than just appearance; they impact performance and, crucially, durability. When choosing wheels, you must balance factors like finish, weight, and offset while keeping the price reasonable. American Racing has expertly balanced quality and affordability for decades. Our experience with their AR172 Baja wheels confirms this. Despite many new wheel options for…

    The clearly delightfully insane minds behind the Build It Yourself YouTube channel have been undertaking what is easily one of the best project car builds out there. The heart of it all lies with Ford’s wonderful modular engine. No, not the 4.6 or the 5.0. Not a 5.2 or even the giant 5.8. Nope. This…

    This is a great chance to pick up an example of a truck you’re not likely to run across very often. The 1973 International Wagonmaster is a truck-ified version of the Travelall. Not a ton of these were built. Not a ton likely remain roaming around. But here’s one in prime shape to serve as…

    A lot has happened since I reviewed my last Genesis GV70. In May of last year, I spent a week with the 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD Prestige, and since then, demand for EVs has cooled significantly. Fourteen months ago, the Genesis brand was heading towards a full-electric future. Whether they stay that all-EV course…

    Land Cruiser lovers lamented when Toyota made the decision to exclude the 300-Series from the North American market. Sure, you could get a version of it if you opted to shuffle into a Lexus dealer. But that’s not the truck true Land Cruiser fans were hoping to find. But the lack of a Land Cruiser…

    You can spend so much damn money on a van. Typically, a properly built overland or #vanlife machine starts north of $110-$125k, and the sky is the limit from there. So you can understand my surprise when I stumbled across what looks to be a decent weekend warrior-type Sprinter van build. While trolling Craigslist, I…

    You find interesting stuff on Craigslist. Take this 1948 Oldsmobile 98, for example. It has just 62,000 miles on it, which is pretty wild for such an old machine. The seller says there’s no rust, as it’s been a Southern California car its whole life. Oh, and it was apparently once owned by Steve McQueen.…

    On Father’s Day morning I fulfilled the car-dad stereotype by going for a solo drive to get some coffee at the local “car guys” spot. Behind the wheel of the new 2024 Nissan Z NISMO, I felt like the coolest guy in town. Fully expecting the Z to draw some attention upon my arrival, it…

    What the hell is an FJ142, you ask? Well, that’s the term for a Land Cruiser that’s part 60-series and part 80-series. More specifically, it’s an FJ62 and either an FJ or FZJ80 mated together to have some newer-school running gear with the classically cool 60-series body on top. And if you’re looking for what’s…

    The Drive recently put out a video (below) talking about an act of vandalism on a California freeway. This vandalism, however, is the good sort. It’s the type that actually helped many a driver be in the right place for an upcoming exit on an otherwise very confusing stretch of freeway. Richard Ankrom, an artist…

    The Subaru Outback is the brand’s second-best selling vehicle as of late, slotting in behind the same-ethos-but-smaller-and-less-expensive Crosstrek. And yet, the Outback still feels like the heart of Subaru, embodying the notion that weather conditions don’t matter, you don’t need low-range to go into the woods, and the wagon lifestyle is better than that brought…

    One of my favorite cars on the planet has awoken from a well-earned slumber. It’s Richard Petty’s 1970 Plymouth Superbird. Why is it being stirred from its sleep? Because Richard’s son Kyle is putting the car on a plane bound for England. Kyle is prepping to run the Superbird up Lord March’s driveway to rattle…

    Disassembly is complete. Disassembly was pretty easy. The hard part is all ahead of me, and that bit of project car anxiety is creeping in at full speed. Especially since I’ve opened the box and started unfolding all of the wiring that’s about to go into the car. It’s a whole lot of colored bits…
