2023 Kia Forte GT – I’m Old Now and Computers Scare Me
Hello all, I have located a usable WiFi signal while traversing a new, unexplored ring of hell. I have returned again to mis-shift into the prominent ass that is online journalism. And I appreciate all of you who bothered to show up for lecture. Recently, I found myself in another unique and foreign situation, in…

2020 Toyota Prius – Life After the Lobotomy
100th car I’ve driven! It’s a rental I got my hands on. But not the kind that ends up in the Everglades or a dirt road unfortunately. This car made me laugh more than an F82 M4 for all the wrong reasons. This car has “an engine” that barely registers that’s it’s doing something other…

Toyota 4Runner – A Children’s Toy of a Vehicle
The Toyota 4Runner is a car some may hail as the second coming of god. Most enthusiasts would agree with this. The 4Runner has a long and storied history of being capable while also being a great throw-your-family-in-for-a-trip-to-Disney vehicle. However, most of that is surface stuff. After driving one, specifically a 2019 5th gen, I…

1993 Daimler Double Six – God Bless the Old Men
So, over the weekend I was given an awesome opportunity by an awesome British-only dealership. They have a load of interesting inventory, including Morgans and Caterhams. However, being the quirky place they are, the “truck” of the fleet is a Daimler Double Six. For those uninitiated, it’s just a Jaguar XJ with the V12, but…

2022 Polaris Slingshot SL and Roush Edition – Maximizing Dickishness
No. No. NO. It’s stupid. That’s not a car. Fuck off. I hate it, and I hate that I kinda enjoyed it briefly. (*edit* no don’t lie to yourself – Justin) It’s Bike Week 2023 here in the great city of Daytona Beach, Florida (at least at the time of writing)! Which for someone who…

2012 Mercedes C63 AMG – Meine Vasektomie Bezahlen
This car has 7 clutches and an open diff. Welcome to 2010’s Mercedes engineering. It’s a wild ride from here. This generation c63 AMG to some people is the ultimate dream car. Loud, stiff, angry, and enough power to push that e92 m3 back into its corner, while still retaining the premium quality you expect…

Quickie – First Drive in a Koenig W126
A friend imported one. I got the chance to drive it. It needs restoration work, but here’s a a short one for y’all anyways! I’ve driven three different Mercedes w126 s-classes, not including this one (not all from the same person funny enough). The Koenig, without spoiling much because we still need content for later…

1996 Porsche 911 993 Carrera Twin Turbo’d – The Air-Cooled Mythos
My dad’s old car, driven by yours truly back when we still had it. It’s a 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera, 993. It was modified back in the day to be a track weapon, with two massive turbos shoved in its wide rear end. The car made somewhere north of 450hp back in the day. It…

2007 Volvo S60 – Driving A Bar Of Soap
From the desk of Daniel “Pinecone” Verona. A few weeks ago, I was informed by folks back in my homeland that a mysterious new vehicle had been added to our fleet. Not quite a replacement, but a complement to our long-suffering V6 Accord. Some time later, I was sent a blurry photo of the machine…

BMW M4 (F82) – Take Me to ///M Town
A friend used to have an RX8. It did rotary things. He now has a Yas Marina blue BMW M4, non-comp, with the DCT. Is it time for me embrace and be a dick now? The F80 generation of BMW M car might be one of the best looking modern cars the company has come…
