This is a public service announcement to all my car nerds out there. You need to diversify your car portfolio. I have a weird rule: a single car can’t do just one task. My “race” car? It has to be able to get me to work in a pinch. It also must be able to do the...

This is what Gridlife is all about. It's not the cars, it's not the competition, and it's not the lap-times. Well, it is those things. But at the heart of it - it's the people. Gridlife is nothing without its culture. Not matter how well it's run or promoted, it's...

Road Atlanta has been a Formula D fan favorite quite literally since Day 1. It was Road Atlanta that hosted the very first Formula DRIFT round back in 2004. And ever since, fans keep making the pilgrimage to back to Braselton, GA to see the sport of drifting continue...

I just watched a video where someone genuinely asked how companies like Ford, GM, Toyota, & Dodge are going to survive in a world dominated by Tesla & Chinese automakers - because they’re “not automated enough.” Their argument? Human involvement is apparently...

At the ripe old age of 38, I’ve become somewhat of an upperclassman in the tuner car scene. And as such, I’ve witnessed it change a great deal since the early 2000s. When I got my first car, social media didn’t exist. Well I guess - we barely had Myspace, but I just...

Canada became the latest victim of a digital-age hoax. A deepfake video recently surfaced where Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a ban on all modified cars, and vehicles built before the year 2000. Only one problem though: It wasn’t real. I must admit, I was...

Steer by wire replaces a vehicle's traditional mechanical steering rack with an electronic control unit - aka sensors and an ECU that measure & translate driver input. Honestly, I’m not even much of a fan of throttle-by-wire. And now we’ve entered the era where...

It’s interesting what people collect… what they’re drawn to. A lot of us are drawn to nostalgic items… stuff from our youth that imprinted on us. Often it’s either things we either had, or couldn’t have. Maybe from places we went… or couldn’t go. And usually in that...

Let’s talk about the new Slate truck. Well we already HAVE been actually. Below are 2 videos from Wooley, and Slate Posse is a Facebook group we created for the new truck's potential aftermarket culture. But back to the point here: Yeah, the Slate an EV. And if you...
