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

Amidst all the UAW strikes within the American automotive industry right now, there is another problem to keep you eye on. As you may know, the Biden Administration has issued a $7,500 tax incentive on the purchase of new electric vehicles. But those new electric...

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?

Whatever exactly BMW’s Neue Klasse movement ends up being, it seems to have BMW headed back on the right track. Hopefully… First off - there’s the BMW Neue Klasse design language... The design team behind the Neue Klasse project obviously freaking gets it! They...

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...

A Journey to Building the Fastest S2000 in the Country

It's time for a reality check with myself. Six years have passed since my S2000 was competitive and competed for an entire season. This half-decade-and-a-bit can feel like an eternity in the world of racing and automotive pursuits, where time moves at breakneck speed....

LS Swapped bug-eye WRX

LS Swapped bug-eye WRX

  “It changes - as soon as you decide to change it.” That’s the moral here. The takeaway. The lesson.  For the last 4 years, this WRX was a heap in the back of Marcelo’s shop, Chitown Customs. See - Marcelo had owned the bug-eye since new. It was his baby. He had...

The Mazda6 now comes with a 2.5 TURBOCHARGED engine option in their Grand Touring, Reserve, and Signature models. And that’s a game-changer for this car!  As I've said in a bunch of previous Mazda reviews… the Mazda design team is on another level. They skip right...

2018 Toyota Camry Review

2018 Toyota Camry Review

After driving the 2018 Toyota Camry, I would tend to say something along the lines of “basic transportation”. And “If good, basic transportation as what you want & need, look no further than the Camry.”  But really - the 2018 Camry is far from basic...

2018 Toyota 86 Review

2018 Toyota 86 Review

The Toyota 86 is truly a pure & unique driver-focused sports car. But - it’s being sabotaged by it’s own price tag. And as someone who loves the car, that frustrates me. It’s not that the price is astronomical. It’s just a tad hard to swallow when you start adding...
