Dear car enthusiasts, Youtubers, and media: We Need Nissan. Stop acting like we don’t. My first car was an indestructible 1989 2-door Nissan Sentra E. It was handed down from my parents during high school. I wouldn’t call it ‘a gift’… but I certainly was excited for...
RAYS released a new specialty color for some/most of their forged wheel models. The color is called Metallic Red (MR) OP-2, and the up-charge is minimal... only about an extra $25 per wheel when ordering. With RAYS, these types of things are often ‘for a limited time...
Ryan Tuerck is partnering with KW Automotive for his competition cars AND his project cars. Here’s what that means. 1) The Formula Drift Rain-X GR Corolla will be running ST Suspension XTA Plus 3 coilovers in competition. 2) The Formula Supra time attack car (I...
The GM LS engine. Regardless of the style of cars you're into – from muscle cars, to trucks/4x4s, to hotrods, to restomods, to rock-bouncers, to drift cars, to 911s & RX7s – LS swaps have entered (and overrun) the chat. And that's because, the small block V8 is an...
This is the MID RACING TR50 by RAYS. It's a flow-formed wheel, available in 15-18" sizes. Although technically, I believe the flow-forming process is only on the larger 17 & 18-inch sizes. The TR50 is one good/clean looking 5-spoke, with subtle details that...
This is the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid. It’s the most efficient model in the CX-50 lineup. But - the hybrid does come with a cost to the driving experience. See, the Mazda CX-50 2.5 TURBO is exceptional. It gives you the versatility of a crossover (and/or wagon)… but the...
30 years from now… you’ll wish you had done it today. Whether you're 9, going with your dad. Or 19 & going with your buddies. Maybe 39 going with your son/daughter. OR - 45 going with your dad again. These moments in motorsports… right now… are the good ol’ days....
I looked through the camera lens as I was shooting this Toyota GR86. And I can’t explain exactly what happened or why it happened. But all the sudden, I got shot back in time to the golden era of the import scene. I felt the energy again. Old sparks that had faded...
This is our 2nd time driving the Lexus GX 550. The first was a Premium+. And this time it's the Lexus GX 550 Overtrail+… the most desirable for me personally. All-in-all, we’ve now driven the GX 550 on two significant roadtrips… from icy roads to palm trees. We’ve...
Mazda unveiled the Mazda MX-5 Miata 35th Anniversary during the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Only 300 examples will be made for the US, making it one of the rarest stateside specialty models in Miata's history. The color is Artesian Red Metallic. It's available with a manual...
There is no such thing as one ‘perfect’ car for every possible situation that may arise. We have to choose the characteristics that are most crucial to us - often at the sacrifice of others. But the NX proves to hold it’s own...
I know, I know that no one…and I mean literally no one is stupid enough to take their $60,000 SUV off road in the fear of getting it a bit dusty. Well… we are that stupid. Lexus GX460
