The old-school Land Rover Defender 90 has returned… in Lego form

The iconic Land Rover Defender has returned. No, I’m not talking about the Ineos Grenadier. I mean a real-deal Defender 90, albeit one on a smaller scale and made up of plastic. Lego has created a classic Defender 90 set to celebrate 75 years of Land Rover. This one looks similar to the modern Defender…

It’s been far too long since I’ve provided any updates with respect to my project cars. The one that gives me the least trouble recently had an issue.

Project cars are never done and they’re rarely easy, right? This week I talk about the issues I’m sorting out on the Jag before it heads over to the smog shop. And out of nowhere, the Montero alternator died in the middle of a drive. Ron is also having issues sorting out minor issues on…

The Ford Lightning is electric and excellent in truck form

comments
I love the Ford Lightning… it’s excellent, quick, comfortable, and behaves like the pickup truck that it is. Sure, it’s pretty damn pricey – but so are all trucks these days, and this one rips. Now I just need one with a slight lift, all-terrain tires, and a GoFastCamper in the back, and I’d be…

Going to New York City during the holidays is an exercise in insanity. Everything is cold, crowded, and wildly expensive. Still, my daughter had never been, and it’s an experience worth doing at least once. So we packed up, headed east, and set off to see the city. Just for two days, though, then it…

GMC Hummer EV – Electric Monster Machine

comments
The GMC Hummer EV is a physics-defying electric monster machine. It weighs over 9,000 pounds yet can run from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds. It’s big, heavy, stupid… and an absolute blast to drive. Disclaimer: GMC tossed us the keys to the Hummer EV and included a full charge on the battery pack.
