2023 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium (manual!)
/
Life is unpredictable, a wise man once said that it’s like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get, or when you’re going to get it. My last road-trip review of the 4Runner TRD Pro alluded to some significant life changes on the horizon for me. That trip was important for…

Do you remember that awesome Ford Lightning tribute truck that our own Greg Kachadurian drove a few years back? Pioneer Ford created that. Well, they’ve reached back out because they have some 2021 models all built up and ready to roll. These get a unique suspension, a sweet wheel and tire setup, and a Roush…

This GR Corolla is a wicked BLAST of a machine!
/
It’s rare that a new car excites me these days, but the GR Corolla has done that in a big way. This feels like a rally-ready homologation special, and I love it. It helps that I’m driving the Morizo Edition too, which gets more aggressive gearing, drops some weight, and feels ready for anything.

Cars not reviewed, but not forgotten
/
2022 flew by. Time constraints didn’t allow for full written reviews of every press car I drove this year (though we did cover them on The Off the Road Again Podcast). Yet the cars are still worth mentioning, so this post covers these vehicles. The cars herein are BMW M4, X5, X3M Competition, and 840i;…

The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is FUN on a race track?!
/
The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the best-selling PHEV SUV on the planet… and oddly enough, there is some notion of Evo-heritage baked in there. That sounds crazy, I know. But after driving this thing on a race track and getting it to go tail-out through corners, my assumed notions have shifted.

The 2022 Forester Wilderness is maximum Subaru
/
The Subaru Forester practically sells itself. Fozzy owners love their cars, evident in a faithful following that has buyers returning to the model time and time again over the car’s five generations.

Chevy’s 2022 Traverse RS AWD is the quintessential family hauler
/
The first long road trip with your first child is extremely daunting. Baby-related needs dictate a different kind of packing and need for space you once didn’t require. There’s a reason so many people buy a big SUV once they have a kid, and it’s not just perceived safety. Space quickly disappears, and you’ll never…

The 2023 Kia Carnival Helps You Embrace Dad Vibes
/
With kid, or kids, comes stuff. And lots of it. What used to be a two-person weekend away that could be packed into the trunk of a Mazda Miata now requires something quite a bit larger. Additional cargo space is effectively as important as extra seating. There’s a reason people buy minivans aside from people…

Alright hoons, this one is going to be a bit different, a bit more personal if you’ll indulge me. As Ferris Bueller said, “life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” So, I decided I was at a point where I needed to get…
