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…

The New Toyota Land Cruiser is Better than I Thought It Would Be
/
/
comments
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…

Is the Market for #VanLife Vans Finally Cooling Off?
/
/
comments
You can spend so much damn money on a van. Typically, a properly built overland or #vanlife machine starts north of $110-$125k, and the sky is the limit from there. So you can understand my surprise when I stumbled across what looks to be a decent weekend warrior-type Sprinter van build. While trolling Craigslist, I…

Craigslist Crapshoot: Is This Steve McQueen’s Old Oldsmobile?
/
/
comments
You find interesting stuff on Craigslist. Take this 1948 Oldsmobile 98, for example. It has just 62,000 miles on it, which is pretty wild for such an old machine. The seller says there’s no rust, as it’s been a Southern California car its whole life. Oh, and it was apparently once owned by Steve McQueen.…

2024 Nissan Z NISMO Review

comments
On Father’s Day morning I fulfilled the car-dad stereotype by going for a solo drive to get some coffee at the local “car guys” spot. Behind the wheel of the new 2024 Nissan Z NISMO, I felt like the coolest guy in town. Fully expecting the Z to draw some attention upon my arrival, it…

TLC4x4 Builds the Perfect Land Cruiser FJ142
/
/
comments
What the hell is an FJ142, you ask? Well, that’s the term for a Land Cruiser that’s part 60-series and part 80-series. More specifically, it’s an FJ62 and either an FJ or FZJ80 mated together to have some newer-school running gear with the classically cool 60-series body on top. And if you’re looking for what’s…

California Freeway Gets Helping Hand from Guerilla Public Service
/

comments
The Drive recently put out a video (below) talking about an act of vandalism on a California freeway. This vandalism, however, is the good sort. It’s the type that actually helped many a driver be in the right place for an upcoming exit on an otherwise very confusing stretch of freeway. Richard Ankrom, an artist…

The Real-Deal Superbird is Set to Blow Minds at Goodwood
/
/
comments
One of my favorite cars on the planet has awoken from a well-earned slumber. It’s Richard Petty’s 1970 Plymouth Superbird. Why is it being stirred from its sleep? Because Richard’s son Kyle is putting the car on a plane bound for England. Kyle is prepping to run the Superbird up Lord March’s driveway to rattle…
