Lexus TX 350 – Is this What Peak Performance Looks Like?

The Lexus TX 350 has an aura about it! To the point where I felt like I was being punk’d lol. No disrespect to the Lexus TX - it’s a very nice vehicle, I'll say that up front. Sophisticated, spacious, and well-built. But can we just be real for a second?? In a world...

Right to Repair — Because You Own The Car

Social Media’s Influence on Car Shows – Don’t Blame Yourself

This article was actually inspired by Jeepin Bubba’s previous article on the decline (and/or over-saturation) of car shows. And honestly… the more I thought about it, the more I realized a lot of us in the automotive world have quietly been feeling the same way. But I...

Car Shows – Are They Evolving? Dying? Or Just Too Many?

Jeepin Bubba here. I’ve been in the thick of it - working at car shows, Jeep shows, and off-road events consistently for 14 years now. And I hate to say this... but... they seem to be declining. For me - the peak years for shows was about 2015-2018. We used to see...
