Project Tesla – Lifting and Cardio
/
/
comments
Remember our Ace Performance Project Tesla? It is a dual-motor long-range Tesla Model 3. When we last left off we have added Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires and a Yakima GrandTour Lo roof-top cargo box. This made the entry-level Tesla a lot more capable in the snow and made transporting skis much easier, and safer. But we were not done!…

2025 Nissan Kicks SR AWD – One Take Review
/
/
comments
The Nissan Kicks is all new for 2025, and it may also be the most pleasant surprise of the year. It starts with its original looks. While original, those looks draw inspirations from previous generation Kicks and the Juke. Finally, at least to me, the design seems like it couldn’t be anything other than a…

2025 Hyundai Tucson – One Take Review
/
/
comments
The Tucson is Hyundai’s bestselling vehicle. In order not to mess with success, the year-over-year changes for this model are modest at best. But, for 2025, the Tucson did get one huge change, even if it’s not immediately visible. That change is to the interior, and that change is quite amazing. Gone is an awkward…

One-Take Video Review: 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport
/
/
comments
The Subaru Crosstrek needs no introduction. The cool little vehicle is in its third generation and has fans among Subaru loyalists (see what I did there, “loyal”-ists? Hehe, I’m so funny) and enthusiast alike. But the one frequent complaint about the Crosstrek was its relatively low engine power. The 2-liter engine makes 152hp, which is…

One-Take Video Review: 2024 Ford Ranger XLT 4×4

comments
Note: After fifteen years of writing car reviews, I have decided to venture into video. I am starting off slowly and rather amateurishly, so please bear with me. These videos can only get better (maybe). These will be one-take videos. I’ll only discuss the vehicle, and you won’t even have to look at me. Additionally,…
