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)

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...

Each year Southrnfresh holds a meet in Georgia, with the goal being a super laid-back event with an almost family-reunion style vibe. That said, it's not a gigantic meet by any means, but there is certainly a focus of quality over quantity in the showcase. You'll find...

As a Jeep owner & advocate, I really soaked-up the opportunity to drive the new, top-of-the-line JL Rubicon. And you know… being a Jeep owner… we couldn’t just pose this thing in the gravel/weeds behind a grocery store & make it appear OFF-ROAD. We felt an...
