Automotive Journalism is Dead – MotorTrend helped Kill it

What happened to Junkyards?

There was a time when snagging used parts from the junkyard was a good & viable solution. When a little legwork yielded substantial savings over new parts prices. But now it seems like the sun is setting on that option. And it's not just with my aging BMW either...

LS-swapped, turbocharged 3000GT… w/ fogs!!

The LS engine. It’s kind of the final destination isn’t it. I see it a lot in my sick & twisted line of work: If you keep any one car long enough… and you keep kicking that can down the road far enough… eventually it bumps up against an LS swap & comes to...

Drive Más – Overland Toyota Tacoma

I'm a Jeep guy. That means I wave back. I think crossover SUVs are basically minivans, and I'm probably going to have an eclectic collection of rusting junk in my backyard one day. I blame my father for this addiction, as he owned (only) a CJ-5 when I was born… which...
