Ford Transit Connect ST – Doing What Ford Never Did

All the cutting, swapping, wiring, troubleshooting, and late nights have finally paid off! TranSiT is alive! What you’re looking at is a 2016 Ford Transit Connect with the full transplant of a Ford Focus ST3. This is not just ‘an engine swap’. Because rather than...

Roll the Windows Down

There’s something eerie happening on the road, and it sounds silly until you notice it all around you. Nobody's driving with their windows down anymore. That was the observation Wooley made while driving his Jeep Wrangler down some backroads. Canopy top, no doors,...

Wanna Race a Juke? – 450whp Nissan Juke Nismo RS

Weird/wildcard sport-compact type cars are the best! Bonus points if they look like a frog lol. But for real - small cars with big egos are where it's at! In the late 90s & early 2000s, the NOPI/Super Street generation had that mindset tapped. And then came the...

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...

Boosted K20a2 Civic

Nick Bayliff has been obsessed with Hondas since he was 14. He’s owned something like 400 of them… let that sink in lol. Safe to say, he’s been around the block a time or two.  It all started around the year 2000…  When a guy in the neighborhood had a modified Honda...

Ford and GM CEOs fight AGAINST Right To Repair

I’ve always been a Ford guy at heart. Yeah I own & love imports. But Ford is metaphorically my hometown. Some of my earliest automotive memories involve Blue Oval products. My whole life - I've recommended Ford, defended Ford, and cheered Ford when they got it...

Mazda RX-7 – Not Your Average Family Car

We love mechanical sports cars. We’re inspired by their shapes, sounds... and their unique auras. Their timeless allure that binds kindred spirits across generations. The Mazda RX-7 exemplifies that - a golden era of sports car ingenuity & individuality. But at...
