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...

LS-swapped, turbocharged Lexus SC300

I feel like this article has one key point that can apply to a lot of people, so I’m gonna try and get there quickly. Dan Perlenfein got into drifting around 2014. Relatively speaking, that hasn’t been that long really. And to get his feet wet, Dan traded some old...

The Rimac Nevera Sets 23 Performance Records in a Single Day! Personally let's be clear: I don't think I'll ever be able give up the sounds & physicality that comes with soulful internal combustion performance vehicles. And that's cool, because I also don't have...

Lexus LC 500h – Bespoke Build

Personally - I see the Lexus LC 500h almost as a rolling concept car that somehow made it through to production. I mean just look at it… it’s on another level. The LC has been out for years now, but it still feels unreal that it even exists. It's truly a testament to...

We’ve all been there: Your phone makes you to do an update, and then right afterwards, it “coincidentally” starts to sh¡t the bed. Well in similar news that shouldn’t be surprising, Tesla is having that same "coincidental" issue, and a class-action lawsuit is...

Toyota / Lexus next-gen EV strategy

2016 Camaro SS review

2016 Camaro SS review

  Look I’m going to be candid here - and criticize my own team. Before I drove the 2015 Mustang GT, I was not a Mustang guy. Before I drove this 2016 Camaro SS, I was definitely not a Camaro guy. I’ve grown up around imports, and until this point, I would have...

2016 Mazda CX-3 Review

2016 Mazda CX-3 Review

Zoom-Zoom.  It’s not just Mazda’s cute little marketing slogan.  Zoom-Zoom defines Mazda’s mindset when it comes to the automobile.   So what does it mean?  It means: "Let’s inject some fun into this".  That philosophy bleeds across all of their model range.  Fun...

2016 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Review

2016 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Review

The 2016 Mazda CX-5 is one crossover that stands out for being trim & lean… when a lot of the competitors tend to be uselessly bulky, over-designed, and over-chromed. If you’re in the market for a crossover, and you actually LIKE to drive, then the CX-5 is...

2016 Lincoln MKC Review

2016 Lincoln MKC Review

What a difference a year can make.  Last year when we reviewed the new 2015 Lincoln MKC we found it rather underwhelming.  We found it too expensive, the seats lacked any real support and the performance was meh inducing.  Now fast forward a few months to the 2016...

2016 Kia Optima SXL Review

2016 Kia Optima SXL Review

When I first heard that we were getting the 2016 Kia Optima to review, I really didn't know what to think. I've always been drawn to the styling of these cars since the 2011 redesign, but I've never driven one so I really didn't have any preconceived ideas other than...

2016 Ford Focus ST Mountune Review

2016 Ford Focus ST Mountune Review

If you haven’t considered the ST because you’re one of those people who “Wouldn’t buy a Ford”… please go drive one before you fall into that default response. Manufacturers change & evolve. And time & time again, when we get these test cars, the ST/GT/Ecoboost...

2016 Toyota Tacoma Review

2016 Toyota Tacoma Review

Here's the thing with the 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4x4s. They're part of a long lineage of Toyota 4x4s that have always been, and will always be a go-to, trusty pair of work boots. It’s the pair of boots you wear when you're not sure what the day holds, what the weather...

2016 Ford Explorer Review

2016 Ford Explorer Review

The 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum.  It’s the poor man’s Range Rover.  Let me explain.  It looks like a Range Rover, it has comparable room, digital dash, massaging seats, and a terrain select controller.  But the Explorer can park itself and has a twin turbo V6…for all...

2016 Nissan Murano Review

2016 Nissan Murano Review

  The Allusion of Performance.  This is what the average consumer wants.  They want an exciting ‘looking’ vehicle without all the sacrifices an actual performance vehicle gives you.  Like noise, comfort, practicality, efficiency, cost and wear/tire items.  That's...
