For Sale: My 1991 Mitsubishi Montero Heads To Auction
/
I thought this one would be a forever car. Things change, and you realize there are so many vehicles out there to explore. If I had a larger garage and more money, perhaps the Montero would be sticking around. But I have a chance to buy a different boxy old SUV, and I need some…

2026 Ford F-250 Platinum – One Take Review
/
There was a time when a 3/4-ton truck was a tool and nothing else, but the 2026 Ford F-250 Platinum proves those days are dead. It is a tow rig that offers an interior that rivals the best luxury SUVs on the market. It is a truck that is designed for the buyer who refuses…

2026 Toyota Prius Nightshade Plug-In Hybrid
/
The Toyota Prius has spent the better part of thirty years being the car that responsible people drive. Sensible. Efficient. Correct. The automotive equivalent of eating your vegetables. Then Toyota went and redesigned the thing in 2023, made it genuinely good-looking, gave the plug-in version 220 horsepower and 40 miles of electric range, painted it…

NONWICK: So How’s My 1967 Ford Mustang Doing?
/
I’ve been a bit quiet regarding the Mustang since my last update. In that one, I talked about the thrill of driving the car for the first time. This was quickly followed by the pain of project car ownership, as I sort of blew up the transmission. The worst part of that last sentence? It…

The Working Man’s Raptor: 2025 Ford F-150 Tremor
/
With all my love for the F-150 Raptor, the Raptor is a $90,000 toy for people who want to pretend they’re jumping sand dunes on their way to Starbucks. The Tremor is actually a half-ton truck designed to work. It sits in that sweet spot where you get 33-inch tires and 18-inch wheels without the…

2026 Acura Integra A-Spec w/Technology: Review
/
I’ll be honest with you, the Integra has a bit of a problem. Not because it’s a bad car, it isn’t, but because the Civic Si exists, shares the same engine, and costs about six thousand dollars less by the time you’re comparing apples to apples. So every time I got into this A-Spec with…

2026 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige AWD
/
It’s hard to stand out these days, especially if you are a crossover SUV. Perhaps you think your shape is sleek and unique. But it isn’t. That means you need to focus on the details. The headlights, taillights, and trim are even more important for attracting buyers. Genesis has invested heavily as it wades into…

2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid: Review
/
Howdy hoons, it’s been a while. To be honest, I had lost my passion for writing, and for a lot of other things if I’m honest. However, I’m back on the horse and excited to share my thoughts on the new 2026 CR-V TrailSport Hybrid. It retains the classic CR-V silhouette but adds a rugged…

2026 BMW i7 M70 Review
/
The 2026 BMW i7 M70 has 650 horsepower and 749 lb-ft of torque, weighs over three tons, does 0-60 MPH in about 3.5 seconds, and (in the guise seen here) costs $192,075. But those numbers hide the real story, which is that this is quite possibly the most plush, comfortable vehicle I have ever had…

2018 Lexus GX460 Build Project | Hamilton Premium CarPlay Conversion Kit
/
As stout as it was mechanically, the 2010-2022 Lexus GX460 was a technological dinosaur even in its heyday. Laden with ancient infotainment featuring an antique looking screen and infuriating controls, the system only received a factory infotainment upgrade for the vehicle’s closing 2022-2024 model years. To remedy the earlier GX460’s woes, Hamilton Motor Company set…

2026 Volvo EX30 – One Take Review
/
Getting a smaller Volvo used to mean you were a safety-obsessed architect who enjoyed sensible sweaters. Now, it means being sensibly green but also being able to accelerate from stand still to 60mph as fast as a Ferrari Roma while sitting in a cabin made of recycled PET bottles. The EX30 is a Swedish design…

Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E-Performance: Grand Touring Excellence
/
The horsepower wars climb ever higher. Case in point: the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E-Performance. That extra bit of letters on the end signifies that this particular AMG coupe features a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Working in concert, the system delivers a massive 805 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Gargantuan figures for a glorious grand touring…

NONWICK Pt. 8: My ’67 Mustang is Alive!
/
It’s been a bit of a long road to get here, but the day has arrived. My 1967 Ford Mustang, dubbed NONWICK, is alive. The car runs. I’ve driven it. And now I already need to fix something major. It’s a glorious moment to hear your long-dormant project car fire to life. This particular ’67…

Revology Mustang Boss 429: Restomod done right?
/
Let’s get this out of the way from the jump. This car is wickedly expensive. So are all of these restomod machines that seem to churn out from endless random companies, grabbing stock of every potential beloved classic they can find. Revology seems to actually care about its end product, however, which is why they…

The Honda Element deserves a comeback tour
/
I was out and about running errands this past weekend, and while sitting waiting for a painfully long red light to change… a Honda Element appeared in my rearview mirror. The particular example was decked out, too, with far-from-stock all-terrain tires wrapped around bronze wheels. It looked absolutely fantastic, and the driver behind the wheel,…

Axial SCX30 Jeep Wrangler JLU RC Review | Making Mountains Out of Molehills
/
“Big things come in small packages” might as well be the new Axial SCX30’s catchphrase. The cellphone-sized 1/30th scale ready-to-run (RTR) rock crawler RC is truly tiny and yet the movement it has created is anything but. Not only is the SCX30 fun to play and tinker with, these new rigs have opened up a…
