2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro: Review
/
/
comments
I’ll admit it: there have been times I really didn’t get the appeal of the Toyota Tacoma. For some time, it was one of the only midsize trucks available. However, it got bigger and bigger to the point that I couldn’t see the rationale of buying one over the plethora of full-size trucks on the…

2025 Porsche Taycan 4S – A Good Car Made Great
/
/
comments
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…

Three (?) Wheel Tuesday? For Adventure Trikes, Absolutely!
/
/
comments
Adventure Bikes make a lot of sense for a focused segment of the motorcycle industry. In fact, the segment is expected to continue to grow over the course of the next decade, seemingly in parallel to the continued growth of adventure vehicles of the four-wheeled design. People want to go on a journey and it’s…

2025 Honda Pilot AWD Black Edition: Review
/
/
comments
The three-row SUV segment is as hot as ever, so you have to bring some heat to be competitive. Honda’s midsize original Pilot debuted for the 2003 model year and is now in its fourth generation. My last go in a new Pilot was in March of last year in the middle-of-the-range Trailsport trim. This…

2025 BMW Z4 M40i Review: Hidden gem
/
/
comments
BMW’s new-for-2025 Z4 M40i has a lot going for it: Six-speed manual gearbox, 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six cylinder engine, rear-wheel-drive, and the roof can be lowered at the touch of a button. It’s a drop-top Toyota Supra draped in German clothes, and somehow it makes for one of the most surprisingly enjoyable cars on sale today.…

2025 Audi SQ7 and SQ8 – First Drive
/
/
comments
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…

2024 Lexus GX 550 Luxury: Review
/
/
comments
The Lexus GX has made it onto my shopping list many times. As a family mobile, I always found them a bit too basic and utilitarian compared to most luxury SUVs. Since the family vehicle had to deliver more comfort than off-road prowess, it never made the cut. Still, they have always been popular with…

This is a Pretty Entertaining Torture Test of a Tesla Cybertruck

comments
WhistlinDiesel has made a name for himself over on YouTube. He beats the crap out of lots of different vehicles in lots of different ways. Some love him, others hate him. But at the end of the day, some of the content coming out of his massive channel can be entertaining as hell. For example,…

RC4WD C2X RC Rock Crawler: Wheels, tires, bumper, and more
/
/
comments
I’ve already admitted my nerd side has taken hold, with my 4×4 obsession flowing over into the radio-controlled world and the good folks at RC4WD willing to supply the fuel for my scale off-road fire. As with full-size rigs, one of the jobs of RCs is modifying and upgrading the vehicles to see how changes…

Proper, Honest 1988 Ford Bronco For Sale on Cars and Bids
/
/
comments
My friend Matt reached out a few weeks ago asking for advice on where to sell their 1988 Ford Bronco. It’s a great example of a well preserved driver so my thought was to put it on up Cars and Bids. I’ve had good luck there myself. I believe the audience would be receptive to…

2025 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ZR1 Revealed: Twin-turbo V8, 1064 hp, 215 MPH
/
/
comments
The C8-generation Chevy Corvette’s base model was already a fast car, so it took throwing a flat-plane-crank V8 into the Z06 for it to become something special. And with that kind of gusto up their sleeve, we’ve known all along that Chevy was going to swing for the fences with the top-dog C8 ZR1. And…

2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Review
/
/
comments
It wasn’t long ago that if you wanted a factory-built Jeep and a pickup truck, you had to buy both; and, it wasn’t long ago that if you wanted a desert-running factory-built pickup, it meant buying a Ford Raptor. Jeep finally alleviated buyers of this dilemma for the 2020 model year with the Gladiator, and…

2018 Lexus GX460 Build: Wheeling With American Racing AR172 Baja Wheels
/
/
comments
Wheels are about more than just appearance; they impact performance and, crucially, durability. When choosing wheels, you must balance factors like finish, weight, and offset while keeping the price reasonable. American Racing has expertly balanced quality and affordability for decades. Our experience with their AR172 Baja wheels confirms this. Despite many new wheel options for…

A Crashed Lincoln Continental is Getting a Custom-Built V10?!
/
/
comments
The clearly delightfully insane minds behind the Build It Yourself YouTube channel have been undertaking what is easily one of the best project car builds out there. The heart of it all lies with Ford’s wonderful modular engine. No, not the 4.6 or the 5.0. Not a 5.2 or even the giant 5.8. Nope. This…

Buy This 1973 International Wagonmaster Before It Turns into a 6-figure Restomod
/
/
comments
This is a great chance to pick up an example of a truck you’re not likely to run across very often. The 1973 International Wagonmaster is a truck-ified version of the Travelall. Not a ton of these were built. Not a ton likely remain roaming around. But here’s one in prime shape to serve as…

2024 Genesis GV70 3.5T AWD Sport Prestige: Review
/
/
comments
A lot has happened since I reviewed my last Genesis GV70. In May of last year, I spent a week with the 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD Prestige, and since then, demand for EVs has cooled significantly. Fourteen months ago, the Genesis brand was heading towards a full-electric future. Whether they stay that all-EV course…
