    Remember the game Outrun? Of course you do! The arcade and console classic is an on-rails racing game featuring some of the best Ferrari Testarossa-ripping action the mid-1980s had to offer. Now a developer is building a game with similar action, but this one cranks up the 80’s to an insane synth level that puts…

There are more upgrades in store for…

    Yesterday I saw something pretty cool in a new vehicle. I was shooting a video with the new Lexus LX600 for a review on Autotrader when I connected my phone to test a feature I’d heard about. The new LX600 has wireless Apple CarPlay, which itself isn’t the cool part. What made me smile though…

    It’s amazing what some quick fixes can do to a project vehicle. With my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero, I slapped on some fresh exterior parts and the truck looks so much better for it. For this quick update, I put on the bumper over-riders, change out the turn signal plastic, and put a fresh Mitsubishi decal…

    I am a bit puzzled. The 2023 Acura Integra has been shown in production form. I’ve seen it myself. I believe Acura has done a decent job with it too. The car is based on the new Civic Si, which is an excellent machine. But the Integra gets a different look outside, nicer materials, and…

    I was off wrenching on things for eight days while Ron was getting up close and personal with a monster truck. Also, Ron has ascended as a car person… he’s getting a garage space with some friends. There’s some talk about our own cars, the new Acura Integra, and then we answer your questions. If…

    I’ve wanted a dash cam for a while now. Both for the insurance aspect of owning one plus the potential for capturing insane or awesome stuff while out and about. Nextbase recently hit us up to offer a few units to test, and I jumped at the chance. Especially since Nextbase touts its flagship model…

    I shot a quick video for Autotrader on the new Polestar O2 concept but I wanted to share it here as well. That’s because I think this thing is excellent looking and shows that Polestar is carving out a wonderful niche as the super-stylish EV of tomorrow. The O2 concept car is related to the…
