’25 Subaru Impreza RS – a Warm Hatch Middle Child
/
The Impreza RS fills the gap between the typical pedestrian Impreza and the WRX. While the WRX comes only as a sedan variant these days, the RS comes only as a hatchback. The RS comes with Subaru’s 2.5-liter engine, an improvement over the 2-liter engine over the typical Impreza, but short of the WRX’s turbo…

For Sale: 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Ready for Daily Duty?
/
A comfortable commuter car can be a nice thing to have if you’re driving to and from an office every day. It doesn’t need to be a cheap econo-box, though. There are more interesting options out there. Some of them even wear that wonderful three-pointed star from Mercedes-Benz. Take this 1998 SL500 I just found…

Porsche 911 GTS …Hybrid? Yes, and It’s Awesome
/
Porsche announced it was putting a hybrid powertrain in a version of its current 911. Some folks decided that this meant the beginning of the end. I am here to say that all it does in this case is make the car even more fantastic. The Porsche 911 GTS kicks a whole lot of ass.…

NONWICK – My 1967 Ford Mustang: The rear end is IN!
/
It’s been a while. Progress on my 1967 Ford Mustang has fallen off a cliff, and it’s mostly because I started the process of re-wiring the car, and my brain said, “Nah… don’t like this!” But I am pushing forward with mechanical updates now, and it feels good. Especially since the most recent work feels…

/
It’s Goodwood Festival of Speed week! That means all manner of awesome machines are being flung up Lord March’s glorious driveway. The Goodwood YouTube channel does a great job churning out both live content and recaps. So, to help you roll into the weekend on the right note, I’m sharing their video of the best…

This ’67 Ford F350 Project could become the Ultimate Overland Rig
/
It’s going to need an insane amount of work to realize the vision I have in my head, but hear me out. This 1967 Ford F350 chassis cab truck I found on Craigslist could become the ultimate overland rig. The asking price is low, the bones seem solid, and there’s so much room for activities!…

2025 Ford Mustang GT – One Take Review
/
The Ford Mustang GT does not need an introduction. Sadly, in 2025, it will be the last remaining true muscle car. Hell, this is the last remaining American car with a V8 engine, which is something that’s not being discussed enough. Long live the Mustang. Ford said they will keep making them as long as they can.…

The New Aston Martin Vanquish is Grand Touring Perfection
/
The new Aston Martin Vanquish is, quite frankly, one of the greatest cars out there. It’s tremendously powerful, ludicrously good looking, and an absolute joy to drive. The main knock against it? It costs more than most people’s homes. Fair warning in this one… I swear a lot. The car is that good.

Review: Thule Verse 2″ – Hitch-mounted Platform Bike Rack (Part 1)
/
Transporting bicycles is never simple, especially if you have more than one. A big enough vehicle can accommodate a bike with the front wheels removed. However, placing two bikes inside a vehicle is more challenging and often impossible. This can be a challenge even in modern pickup beds that are five feet long. There is…

Rlaarlo XTS-P12 Review: 1/12 RC rally car is a hoot to hoon
/
A radio-controlled rally car is only as good as it is fun. After all, what good is bashing a miniature version of a dream machine through its preferred terrain if it’s not enjoyable? For years the good options were pretty pricey, and now Rlaarlo thinks they can change that formula with the new XTS-P12. It…

Hooniverse Asks: Is there Anything in the Automotive World that Excites You Right Now?
/
The world, in general, seems like a place where you may be struggling to find “wins” at the moment. You’re not alone in that feeling. Perhaps that notion extends to our favorite topic: all things automotive. Are you excited about anything in the automotive world right now? I used a photo of a GR Corolla…

V10-Swapped Continental Now Sounds Like Two Different (Awesome) Cars
/
If you’re not following along with the current coolest build on YouTube (Outside of the Stanceworks Ferrari F40), you’re missing out. A pair of smart young dudes have taken a 6.8-liter V10, reworked it completely, and stuffed it into the nose of a previously crashed 2017 Lincoln Continental. The result so far has been pure…

Wagon Wednesday: The Cleanest Plymouth Valiant on Craigslist?
/
Wagons remain the chosen vehicle type of those who know what’s best. You may disagree with that statement, but you’re wrong. To help educate you on the lovely allure of the longroof, I found this particularly amazing example of a second-gen Plymouth Valiant. It’s for sale on Craigslist, and it may be the cleanest example…

2025 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL 2.5 S-AWC Review
/
It’s probably safe to say that the average new car buyer doesn’t think much about Mitsubishi these days. The hollow shell of a once-great (to enthusiasts) automotive upstart now has a 2025 lineup consisting of nothing but the Outlander and its PHEV counterpart, the smaller Outlander Sport, and the woefully named Eclipse Cross. Needless to…

Dodge Charger Daytona EV – A Fun Car… Marketed Wrong
/
It looks pretty cool. The name is certainly a throwback. There’s good power on tap, too. But the Dodge Charger Daytona is an electric vehicle marketed as the muscle car option of the segment. The problem here, however, is that it isn’t that. Instead, it’s a surprisingly solid electric grand tourer… even in spite of…

My Search for the Best Camping Chairs: Take a Seat in the CLIQ EpiQ Lounge
/
My goal, when I pack my Montero to go camping, has long been to have items that are easily accessible and make sense for where I will be going. When you’re sitting around a campfire, one of the items you’ll need will be a proper camping chair. As someone easily intrigued by new gear, I…
