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

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...

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...

Josh Baker has a thing for yellow. Fair enough. His first car was a Yellow New Edge GT back in the day. Then a Yellow ’05 after that. Then, back in the Fall of 2014, Josh Baker was looking at upgrading to a yellow Boss S197… all the way up in Maine. The new S550...

2018 Mazda3 Grand Touring Review

It’s gonna sound like I’m picking on the Mazda3, and I am. But NOT because it’s a bad car. Actually - it’s got some pretty slick, well designed features to it. But they’re all whispers. And THAT’S the problem here: The good traits within the Mazda3 are not getting the...
