With a relatively simple supercharged American V8 in the middle, very few electronic systems to speak of, and a whole bunch of parts plucked … Read more
This looks epic. Gif: David Ma via YouTube It’s Friday, which means movie night is probably beckoning this weekend. So should you settle down for an automotive classic, like “Mad Max,” or head out and confuse yourself silly with a screening of “Megalopolis?” Personally, I wouldn’t recommend either this weekend, instead I think you should … Read more
According to Peter’s text records, the call to pull the engine was made at 2AM on race day. I’d slept a few hours on Wednesday, one hour on Thursday and was about to get a nice round zero before piloting a car that had never been driven —by anyone — up a narrow road course … Read more
Tesla Cybertrucks are headed to war. No, this isn’t a joke. A handful of Chechen soldiers are supposed to ride into battle in Ukraine with Cybertrucks.

You Can Always Go Back to a Stick-Shift Volkswagen GTI – One Take A MK7 GTI was the peak, IMHO. Though I suppose if I could have ANYTHING as a toy, it would be a 1.9L Peugeot 205 GTI. Drove one in Hungary years ago – huge, huge fun. But not nearly as suited to … Read more
Nothing adds gravitas to a major sports event like a blimp causally patrolling the skies around the stadium. A soccer club’s blimp slowly crashed into a residential neighborhood in São Paulo, Brazil on Wednesday. Thankfully, only one person was injured in the slow-motion disaster that caused people to jog for their lives. The Plymouth Prowler … Read more
Eric Adams is in a hell of a lot of trouble right now. Not only is he the weirdest mayor New York has ever had (dethroning Bill DeBlasio), but he is now the first sitting mayor to be indicted and criminally charged. That’s not what we’re here to talk about, though. Nope, I want to … Read more
