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 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

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?

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...

Chopped & Slammed Corvair

Talk about engulfing yourself in car culture. It’s one thing to drive a cool car, and it’s next-level to build a cool car. But then there’s the entire next dimension… where you begin to morph into a human persona of the cars you own. John Ludwick is on this 3rd level....

The FIRST S55 Swapped E30 M3

Make Something that Makes Something... Check out this BMW E30 M3 with an M55 swap. I wish that, going into 2020, we had more people who set out to inspire… and less people who signed-up to influence. To influence is a self-serving interest… building one’s own ego...

Acura MDX SH-AWD A-SPEC

Bottom Line: The Acura MDX SH-AWD A-SPEC is one of the good ones in the segment.  The A-SPEC interior nails it.  The A-SPEC exterior touches (and this particular shade of Modern Steel Metallic gray on Shark gray 20in wheels) doesn’t shout… but it’s striking &...
