    I always enjoyed any time I spent with the Ram TRX. It’s a 702-hp monster truck you can buy with a factory warranty and the out-of-box ability to go run Baja. Ram is downsizing some of its engine offerings, however, so the TRX had to go away. Stepping up to take its place as the…

    If I had to choose any Aston Martin Vantage to own, and what a fortunate choice it would be, I know exactly which one I’d pick. It wouldn’t be any of the modern ones. It would be that glorious V8 coupe from the late 70s. You know the one… that looks vaguely like a Mustang.…

    The Porsche 930 is the starting point for the German automaker’s turbocharged monster machines. Of course, the monstrous part of the early efforts was the potential for unplanned oversteer adventure. Today’s turbocharged 911s are different animals entirely. Still, the original cars just look fantastic. That doesn’t mean there’s room for improvement and Makellos Classics has…

    When someone says they wish a company made a true off-road-ready rig, they don’t mean what they say. Sure, some folks do, but I’d wager the majority who make that claim don’t actually want to live with a real off-road capable vehicle on a daily basis. I do, though. I truly enjoy burly boxes on…

    Improving on already supremely super supercars is a tall task. McLaren, somehow, continues to do it. Every time the automaker produces an updated version of what seems like a now familiar formula, the results far exceed your expectations. Yes, of course, it’s going to be good, but how can it be that much better than…

    The Porsche Taycan was already a pretty solid EV, but now Porsche has updated it, and the resulting machine is even better: more power, more range, and faster charging. What more could you ask for? Well, sure, you could ask for it to be less expensive. I feel you there. The one I drove in…

    The 2025 Audi SQ7 and SQ8 are two sides of a very similar coin; one is a 500-hp 7-passenger SUV that can dispatch a twisty road with surprising ease, while the other is… well, a 500-hp 5-passenger SUV that can dispatch that same road with the same level of ease. Seriously, these things drive far…

    Land Cruiser lovers lamented when Toyota made the decision to exclude the 300-Series from the North American market. Sure, you could get a version of it if you opted to shuffle into a Lexus dealer. But that’s not the truck true Land Cruiser fans were hoping to find. But the lack of a Land Cruiser…

    Audi kicked a lot of butt with its 90 Quattro GTO race car. This was an inline-5-cylinder all-wheel-drive monster machine that Hans Stuck drove the wheels off and shocked V8-powered beasts on plenty of road courses. That car should’ve easily secured a championship in 1989, but a few missed races and early teething issues prevented…

    I can feel folks getting ready to hit the keys to type my messages, telling me I’m wrong. But I don’t care because I’m here to tell you that the C8 Corvette Z06 is a supercar. It has evolved. It is more than. The idea that this is “just” a sports car is now incorrect.…
