Reviewed: The 2018 Ford Mustang

It used to be a pony car that was laughed at in places with turns. These days, however, the Ford Mustang is a real-deal sports car that competes with the best the world has to offer. The Blue Oval brand has updated its mean machine for the new model year, and the 2018 Ford Mustang…

Gripes about Ford's many similar buttons

comments
Above is a close look at the climate controls of the new 2018 Ford Expedition. They seem rather unremarkable, typical Ford-like, as they have been for many years now. These controls are located below the infotainment screen and below the radio buttons and knobs. Basically, these are the lowest placed items in the vertical section…

Quick Spin: 2017 Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang

It’s fucking amazing. That is all you need to know about the GT350R. It’s not perfect, nothing is, but it is amazing. It looks purposeful but not tacky. It’s really fast and it’s properly loud. It stops well and handles wonderfully. It’s cliche to say, but it is a race car for the streets and…

Review: 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor SuperCab

The Raptor really needs no introduction. If you’re reading this you probably already know everything you wanted to know about its 450-horsepower twin-turbocharged engine, ten-speed transmission, Fox suspension, and huge tires. You’ve read the reviews of it driven off-road and seen Ford’s website where the Raptor races across a desert and jumps over dunes. Even…

S197 vs S550: How well does the prior-gen Mustang GT hold up, and how much better is the current model?
/

comments
Driving subsequent generations of any particular vehicle is always an interesting experience. You get to experience and feel for yourself the work an automaker did to improve upon the prior model, and at the same time you have a chance to evaluate the more modern example to see if their efforts were successful. I’ve had…

Ford Raptor: The Baja blaster supreme is better than ever

comments
Gone is the song that the V8 sings… let us mourn. Okay stop mourning, because nearly everything else about the new Ford Raptor is fantastic. Under the hood you’ll find a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost 6, which is good for 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. That’s enough power to get this 5,700-pound beast up…

Ford Focus RS: The hottest of hatches
/
/
comments
Besides wagons, the most enjoyable segment that barely anyone in the States enjoys is the hot hatch. The hottest of the hatches is a space occupied by a Ford. Specifically, the Focus RS. It’s a 350-horsepower, all-wheel-drive, drift-mode-having fun machine… and it should put the Volkswagen Golf R and Subaru WRX STI (which needs to…

Sampling the Shelby Mustang GT350R on the track

comments
That legendary name. Now it’s applied to the latest Ford Mustang, but this time it’s packing a flat-plane crank V8 that’s pushing out 526 horsepower. It’s almost more about the noise though, than it is the power… almost. This is a glorious ode to the track-focused speed machine, and it just might be one of…

Double Review: 2016 Ford Focus Titanium and 2016 Focus SE EcoBoost
/
/
comments
When it comes to reviewing new cars, most media outlets depend on whatever vehicle the manufacturer supplies them with. One would think that an automaker would be providing top models filled with all the available options, but that is not always true. Sometimes manufacturers provide the press with lower optioned cars to avoid a large…

When I was a little boy growing up in Minnesota, my dad bought a cherry red 67 Fastback with white go fast stripes. I never got to ride in it much. It didn’t run often, but god damn it was pretty. And in my mind it was the most amazing machine on the face of the…
