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 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…

The 25 Hours & 1 Minute of Thunderhill was Awesome (…and also hell on earth)
/
When you compete in a typical 24 Hours of Lemons racing event, you don’t actually race the entire time. It’s usually about eight hours on Saturday and another eight or so hours on Sunday. The track goes cold at night, beers are popped, grills are fired up, and you either enjoy chatting about your shitty…

gEAR’D is Your New Morning Time Waster Game
/
As I sip my coffee in the morning, I typically stare at my phone and work out that morning’s Wordle, Connections, and the Crossword puzzle from the NYT app. It’s a simple way to start the day, and I enjoy doing it. I now have another “time waster” game to kickstart my mornings. It’s called…

GRIZZL-E Ultimate Ultra 48 Home EV Charger Review
/
EV charging used to be the great unknown; some chargers worked, some didn’t, and it was anybody’s guess as to which you’d be dealt with each given public charge. Luckily we’ve come a long way from that (and from me blowing fuses in my house when “refueling” electrified press cars), and it’s chargers like the…

2025 Toyota Prius Nightshade AWD: Review
/
Oh boy, I’ve been looking forward to this one! That’s something I’ve only ever said once when a Toyota Prius appeared on my review roster. It was about two years ago when I got my first taste of the fifth-generation XW60 version. For 2025, a new trim, the Nightshade Edition, is now available. Sounds pretty…

Nissan has injected a healthy dose of luxury and style into the Murano in an effort to push the vehicle upmarket for its fourth generation. With its most dramatic design redirection yet, the all-new-for-2025 Murano that results is an intriguing vehicle with a few glaring flaws. Exterior There’s a lot of the all-electric Ariya in…

2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited: Review
/
The compact Elantra has been in production for 35 years, although its first decade was spent outside the U.S. market. When we got our first Elantra in 2000, it was the third generation of the model. Fast forward to 2025, and we are now in the Elantra’s seventh generation, which launched in 2021. We just…

So, like an idiot, I bought a 17-year-old Range Rover
/
I live in Southern California. More specifically, I live in the Pasadena area, which, if you were paying attention to the news on January 7 of this year, experienced some especially devastating wildfires that essentially leveled the Altadena neighborhood and caused untold amounts of damage. My wife and I are super fortunate because, despite being…

2025 Mazda CX-50 vs. 2025 Mazda CX-5: Which is best?
/
And now for something a little different. I recently had the chance to spend a week with the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid and the 2025 Mazda CX-5. If you’re late to the game and curious about what’s going on, Mazda introduced the new CX-50 in 2023, and we all assumed it would replace the CX-5.…

The 2025 Nissan Murano is all new. With modernized, if a bit bland, looks, is an updated interior that reflects the new Nissan models. The powertrain has been replaced, but I am not sure if the new-ish engine is actually an improvement. Let’s check it out… Exterior: The front end features a tall grille with…

2025 BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe vs 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: Coincidental Competitors
/
Two cars, 1,285 horsepower, 1,212 lb-ft of torque, and $309,455 worth of madness. This wasn’t deliberately designed to be a comparison test, but when the 2025 BMW M8 Gran Coupe Competition we spent a week testing had a starting price within a stone’s throw of the as-tested price for the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing that…
