Character Goes Beyond Any One Car
Earlier this year, I spent nearly 1,000 miles in a Lexus LC 500 coupe on a road trip to visit my old college town.

2024 Nissan Rogue Is The Most Crossover Crossover To Ever Crossover
The 2024 Nissan Rogue isn’t a car for folks like you and me. We’re more into things that lights our souls on fire, makes us fizz or any other number of cliches, but stuff like that isn’t important to the vast majority of car buyers. Most buyers just want something that is reasonably priced, well thought out and has…
I Snuck Into A Vintage Japanese Car Rally With An American Sh*tbox And Nobody Noticed
I recently took part in the inaugural Arizona Rising Sun Rallye and it was a perfect example of what car culture should be.

The most controversial car of 2024 isn’t the Tesla Cybertruck or whatever cool new BMW you think is ugly, it’s the Dodge Charger Daytona EV.

More Automakers Should Bring Whimsy Into Their Cars Like Rivian Does
I love a good gimmick: something that is sort of pointless other than the fact it’s meant to sort of entertain you. It’s severely lacking in the automotive world, but I’m happy to report gimmicks are starting to appear in more and more cars, especially electric vehicles. Adding more gimmicks makes sense with EVs, as en…
