2024 Lincoln Nautilus Long Term Review: Isolationism as a Product
Fundamentally, Lincoln as a company is not a thriving brand. Lincoln comes from the days of a tiered business system and custom paper order catalogs by individual dealerships, yet they desperately try to work their own way into our Orwellian future.

2005 Lexus ES330 – Comfortably Numb
Welcome to the second car I have ever purchased, my third pre-recession V6 sedan, and a vehicle I had truly never paid an ounce of attention to until I was signing it into my life. It is change at a price, a cautious step into a new way of life, laced with a faint air…

2009 BMW e92 335i – “Two days ago I was obligated to cut people off in my secretary car”
I don’t know how this one eluded publishing for so long. But fuck it, better late than never! This was my old college roommate’s car. He always wanted an e92 M3. And an M3 this isn’t. But it was the happy compromise that some Jeep dealer in Tampa sold him on. It slotted between his…

2024 Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ: And Subaru took it personally
Do you have 30k and want to feel enough g-force to liquefy your brain? Well it turns out Miata might not always be the answer. And somehow, we haven’t reviewed one of these yet. It might still technically be slower than a Miata, but it is still unreasonably fast.

2026 Hyundai Santa Fe – It Is… What It Is…
Another day… another rental… and our first model year 2026! Oh, what splendor awaits! And yes, it was driven in “suboptimal conditions”, how’d you guess! By our “professional automotive journalism standards”, that just means we’ve been able to fairly assess the Santa Fe’s all weather abilities. Starting off, no, I’m not in Virginia. I’m in…
