Walk it back – UK’s 2030 EV deadline pushed back to 2035

British prime minister, Rishi Sunak, officially walked-back the 2030 deadline for all new cars & vans sold in the UK to be electric. The deadline got pushed back to 2035. It’s only a 5-year difference in the grand scheme of things. And perhaps a wise one. But some...

Ford & GM struggle to meet White House demands

Southern Fried Freeride 2023

Southern Fried Freeride at Lake Allatoona. If you don't already know, it's a long weekend of non-stop STAND-UP JET SKI shenanigans. It draws people from all over the region, and it’s been going down since the early 2000s. Kind of like a proper summer send-off. The...

Old Mustang GT vs new Lexus IS500 (a battle of V8s)

French government having to battle Chinese EVs

This topic is important, because it foreshadows what could soon be happening in America if we don’t start wising-up. Because similar to the United States government, the French government has been giving $5,000 incentives for customers to purchase a new electric...

Fixed annoying leak in the Porsche 944 for $5

When it rained, water would leak in the passenger side of the Porsche 944. Who would've thought a $5 can of Flex Seal would actually fix it? NOPE, this is not a paid advertisement... just some good ol' redneck engineering lol. But hey, if it works it works....

UAW vs CEOs (strike strike strike)

Typically speaking, I like onions better than unions. I’ve always tended to empathize more with the people who RUN the company. Simply because - they tend to see the 'whole picture' of what is takes to bring a product to market. A union has a much narrower interest...

Over The Top

Since the dawn of time, when it came to building a 4-cylinder powered true sportcompact, Detroit’s ‘Big 3’ have always fell flat on their faces. They just never quite got it. Sure we saw come mediocre attempts, but they still ended up being the end of every import...

Rowdy Hour

It was hot as shit out. The kind of hot that makes your balls stick to the inside of your knee. Alex and I were both hanging out inside his car on pit row inside Nashville Super Speedway. The car that had been staged in front of us was now fading into the left sweeper...

Viva Hood

This car is not for everyone. It’s not gonna be for most people. Does best always have to do with nicest. In some cases – yes. We should be able to look at something that is finished and flawless, and admire it. But if, as a culture, that is the only path that we are...
