What Happened to Automotive Journalism? – Spec Sheets & Sellouts

There was a time - perhaps not long ago - when automotive journalism was raw, gritty, and human. (And so were the cars.) It was a time when reviews didn’t read like a corporate-funded, AI-filtered spreadsheet with a steering wheel. And a time when journalists weren’t...

Automotivism

A while back, I wrote an article about Volkswagen gurus & how 'different' they are. There’s a very particular type of love veedubbers have for those little German boxes. It’s not just brand loyalty, it’s more like dedication... or obsession, devotion, &...

Sunrader, a vintage RV conversion company, built recreational vehicles using a Toyota Pickup. And that’s exactly what Tanaka wanted for his next mini truck build. It wasn’t an easy find, but living in NorCal, this kind of 80s hippie sh¡t can turn up every...

Cars of the Early 90s – and the Different Approach to Tech

Memory works in the strangest way. For example, I couldn’t tell you what shirt I wore yesterday. But I can remember a lot from 1993. The movies, the music, the malls, the MTV… I remember it with clarity. And I especially remember the long list of cool cars that...

Tech Bros – Y’all Gotta Chill

I just watched a video where someone genuinely asked how companies like Ford, GM, Toyota, & Dodge are going to survive in a world dominated by Tesla & Chinese automakers - because they’re “not automated enough.” Their argument? Human involvement is apparently...

The Impact of Social Media on Car Culture

At the ripe old age of 38, I’ve become somewhat of an upperclassman in the tuner car scene. And as such, I’ve witnessed it change a great deal since the early 2000s. When I got my first car, social media didn’t exist. Well I guess - we barely had Myspace, but I just...
