Sub 1:40 – The Benchmark of Time Attack

A few years ago, in a Facebook Group called Track Midwest, a post was written that echoed loudly around the community. "If you don't run sub 1:40, you shouldn't post." It was somewhat harsh, but it had some validity. It was supposed to be directed at the newer guys...

Bit By Bit, Improving The 987

Intro A cardinal mistake you often see in the upper levels of Time Attack is doing too little in a short time. Instead of following the rule of three, don't change more than three things at once. Then you test. Often, people throw parts at a car, hoping it will go...

Tesla is opening-up their chargers to Ford EVs

In a brand new Tesla-Ford agreement... Tesla is opening-up their chargers to Ford EVs. I guess that’s a big deal, because it shows that two manufactures are officially working together to make charging less of a con & more convenient And it shows that Tesla is not...

Sinful simplicity – white E92 M3

Sinful simplicity – white E92 M3

I believe in the psychology of cars. And I believe that cars that were built with heart… HAVE heart. In a sense - the spirit of the creators gets passed through to the creation. And the outcome is, a soul. What else do you call it when something unexplainably becomes...

Lexus-Flavored Overland Tow Vehicle – Glexus

Lexus-Flavored Overland Tow Vehicle – Glexus

If you're like me, driving a boring car sounds straight-up awful. Everything I own must have Devin's touch. Usually, it involves being in a war with weapons of mass destruction in my garage, but that's reserved for race cars. For street-driven vehicles, it's more...

Audi RS3 – Second Chances

Audi RS3 – Second Chances

This is my takeaway from Mauricio Martinez’s Audi RS3. How many of us tell ourselves ‘we can always buy another one’… but we never do. Truth is: as a car enthusiast, when you sell a car, you’re at a very vulnerable point. And it's not just emotional either lol....

My tuner friends have an overlanding problem

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve probably noticed the explosion of the ‘overland scene’. I guess Covid really fueled the primal need for people to get outta the house. Whatever the case, the camping & outdoor market saw numbers like never before. For the...

VIP Nissan Cima – Well ok then

VIP Nissan Cima – Well ok then

If we’re being honest here, I’ve always had a hard time understanding the why behind VIP cars. Coincidentally so has Alexander Richards. Alex & I are both naturally drawn to agile/quick cars. You know… rippers! Yet having said that, here we are, looking at Alex's...

Hello Cavalier: Porsche Cayman Introduction

Hello Cavalier: Porsche Cayman Introduction

These days a new or slightly used Supra or R35 car will cost you over 50k. If you're like me, that's asinine. I'm too poor to afford such a luxury. At the time, I had just sold my claptrap of a C5 Corvette, and was yearning for another car on my dream list... which...
