comments
Here’s a quick and easy upgrade to my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero. I felt the Sylvania beams were a bit lacking at night. So I ordered a set of KC headlights and popped them in. Having a vehicle with 7″-round sealed beams makes this sort of upgrade an easy affair. It’s three fasteners to get the…

All I have to do is type “240Z vs R1” or “Darius 240Z” into the search bar and I’m greeted with an old friend. I press play, wave hello, and nod with a contented smile on my face. That’s because I now get to watch a video that’s been seared into my brain for quite…

comments
The current Jeep Compass has been around since 2017. It is therefore due for its mid-life update. Usually such updates require some testing, mostly around the company proving grounds and maybe a spin on the road. But why was this camouflaged, Michigan manufacturer-plated, Compass driven in downtown Boston in a Friday afternoon rush hour is…

comments
It’s a grand tradition for us ‘Mericans to find out about cool cars that we can’t have via video games. I sat up many night playing Gran Turismo and wondering what the hell a Mitsubishi FTO was and why I couldn’t buy one? That actually continues today, I was recently playing Forza Horizon 4 and…

Review: Michelin PS4S ultra high-performance summer tires
/
/
comments
Tires can make or break a car. It’s no more apparent than in racing, where in Formula 1 the difference between the “soft” and “hard” tires is as much as 1.5 seconds a lap. That is an eternity. It translates to road cars: Not only do good tires affect the level of cornering grip, but…

Look around, everyone these days wants a mighty 4×4 off-roader, even if they have no no-roads on to drive on. It’s a craze and it’s crazy.
