Ford halts EV battery plant in Michigan

This week, Ford put an abrupt & immediate halt on their EV battery manufacturing plant in Michigan. Permanent? Temporary?? We'll see. There’s a lot of political drama surrounding this battery plant. And it piggybacks directly off the evolving issue of Ford, GM,...

Ford & GM struggle to meet White House demands

Amidst all the UAW strikes within the American automotive industry right now, there is another problem to keep you eye on. As you may know, the Biden Administration has issued a $7,500 tax incentive on the purchase of new electric vehicles. But those new electric...

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)

I caught this video through HotCars where an older V8 Mustang GT performs with a new V8 Lexus IS500. And while that honestly doesn't surprise me, for some reason it settled into my headspace this morning & kept circling around. First off - I liked the video. I...

BMW Neue Klasse – on the right track?

Whatever exactly BMW’s Neue Klasse movement ends up being, it seems to have BMW headed back on the right track. Hopefully… First off - there’s the BMW Neue Klasse design language... The design team behind the Neue Klasse project obviously freaking gets it! They...

I went to Black Bear Off-Road yesterday to put some tires on my wife’s 4Runner, and got a little historical Jeep trivia from Jeepin Bubba.  @s3magazine A little Jeep trivia brought to you by @Jeepin Bubba from Black Bear Off-Road. #jeep #jeeplife #jeepwillys #jeepcj...

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...

A Journey to Building the Fastest S2000 in the Country

It's time for a reality check with myself. Six years have passed since my S2000 was competitive and competed for an entire season. This half-decade-and-a-bit can feel like an eternity in the world of racing and automotive pursuits, where time moves at breakneck speed....

Old School Civic // 2010 S3 Throwback

Man sometimes I look at old S3 features, and I cringe lol. Not this time....  In 2010, Import Alliance was at the height of it's momentum. In the moment, I don't think we realized how good it was... the way it was bringing us all together. See the 2008 recession had...

Mid engine, gated 6-speed, V8 R8

Mid engine, gated 6-speed, V8 R8

I consider the R8 to be an exotic... and exotic-type cars normally don’t appeal to me much anymore. What makes a sports car exotic? The rad-era exotics of my youth, loved ‘em! But that was the 80s/90s when we had F40/Countach/Testarossa/911 posters on our wall. Not...

Lifted Sprinter

Lifted Sprinter

Overland Sprinters - they’re like the Leatherman Multi-Tool of 4x4s. Meaning... they’re bulky, you really don’t need it, and honestly you’ll probably just leave it at home 90% of the time.  But there’s something so...

Mechanical Advantage brings the meat

Mechanical Advantage brings the meat

Listen, there’s something special going on with this Mechanical Advantage time-attack team. Ima tell ya.  Maybe it’s the solid team dynamic. Or maybe it's their race cars being both brilliantly practical & brilliantly engineered. It could even be the fact that...

No clutch pedal on a 944

No clutch pedal on a 944

We got the 944 running! And as spiritually uplifting as that feels lol, it just means that we now have to address every... other... problem... with this car. Starting with the Porsche 944 clutch pedal. We don't seem to have a clutch pedal. It just flops to the floor....

G35 Coupe so clean

G35 Coupe so clean

I tend to dislike G35s... Infinity made too many of them... in unexciting colors. G35s have lost all their value, which relates to them becoming cheaply-modified. And most of the G35s I run across seems to be clapped-out, riced-out, not maintained... riding on...
