Fiesta ST – Wilwood brakes

The Fiesta ST is a barrel of monkeys. But the brakes?? They're more like a bucket of sh¡t lol. And frankly, the Fiesta ST deserves better. I'll die on the hill that the Fiesta ST…  Is one of the most rambunctious, undiluted… biggest grin, best bang-for-the-buck modern...

2018 Mazda CX-5 review

by | Mar 22, 2018 |

First Impression… Everything about the Mazda CX-5 is stinkin’ great… except for the engine, which is a stinkin’ snooze (slams fist on desk). One Week Later…  Every time I drive a new Mazda (minus the turbocharged CX-9)… it seems like the same ol’ story. The cars are...

Lifted Jeep LJ on 37 inch Toyo MTs #projectlongjunk

by | Mar 20, 2018 | ,

Text by Danny Spitery   Photos by Brady Lankford I used to be (and still am) really into modified Subarus and BMWs. It’s always been about being low, loud, and fast. But then in 2013... a friend took me off-roading in his Jeep. I was instantly hooked! It flat-out...

How to ST Swap a Focus Sedan

by | Mar 6, 2018 | ,

ST-swapped sedans? Nooope, Ford didn't make any like this.  And if you’re paying attention, you’re seeing the significance of where this kind of thing could go for the newer Ford culture, and its aftermarket. And - if you’ve been around long enough, you’re seeing a...

Lexus IS350 review

by | Mar 1, 2018 |

Initial Impression... I might not be the one to buy the Lexus IS350. But 10/10 would recommend to a friend or family member… who’s not quite as ‘off the deep end’ as I am when it comes to cars. One Week Later... I remember clearly, when the 1st-gen Lexus IS300 came...

Jeep Grand Cherokee TRACKHAWK review – omg omg omg

by | Feb 21, 2018 |

Point blank: The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a 5,000lb muscle-bound, "I never narc’d on nobody", American badass. It’s the car-version of: pulling Germany & Japan’s underwear over their head and shoving them in their own lockers.  [gallery type="rectangular"...

Honda Ridgeline Review

by | Feb 20, 2018 |

Initial impression...  I love the Honda Ridgeline… a lot. I just wish it looked a little cooler though. One week later... The Honda Ridgeline is one of the most innovative, & clever trucks out there. And I can’t believe that Honda had to come in here, and show the...
