2016 Ford Fiesta ST – Blue Eggs and Spam
Turbos are magical whirly birds of wind, hell if I know how they work but the end result is always the same: a giant smile on my face. Yep, it’s time to get FISTed back into the 2010s when dubstep reigned supreme, X-Games was the coolest thing you’ve ever seen and Ken Block released something…

2017 V6 Camaro – Like it or not, its a sports car
So start out, this is my girlfriends car and I didnt have high expectations coming into the car. Everyone know how it is the with V6 and 4 cylinder cars, they’re “less cool”. They’re inehrently wrong for having an incorrect number of cylinders. Many an auto jorunalist has been laughed off for positive comments about…

2024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor – Electric Boogaloo
I THOUGHT YOU WHERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME FEEL NUMB! I had this Swedish-Chinese chimera in sedan form for a week in Norway. So, not only did I get to fuck around with a Polestar 2, but it was a nifty little trial run for the “EV Lyfe”. And what better place to try all…

A Personal Tale: I Got Chlamydia from Driving a 996 Cabriolet (GoFundMe Link in Description)
HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME My… dearest consumers… IT BURNS! PLEASE DEAR GOD IT BURNS It started like any other day, after low balling Miata owners on Facebook marketplace to make up for my own inadequacies, I went for a stroll to clear my mind. That’s when I saw it……

Luxury Oil Burning: I thought it was just hype, but I have seen the light.
From the the desk of the skinwalker, who is currently sealed at 6.5 psi under the rocky mountains. Well it’s been a while since I’ve graced this site with a review but I got a good one for us today. The tale of a new car. As is common for the college student with a…

While on a visitors tour of Williams facilities, we “accidentally got lost” and wound up talking to their vehicle simulation team!

2022 Lamborghini Urus – Bloated Bullshit
How are these things selling? No seriously, how did these stupid things sell? Was it really that easy? Just take an Audi Q7 with an RSQ8 motor, do some “Pimp My Ride” magic, and then slap a $200,000+ price tag on the damn thing? Their scheme must’ve worked given the amount of them roaming the…

Forever Future Proofed: the Polestar Naming Convention
Punchline: they have an infinite series of numbers (Maybe include some obtuse math proof) In the world of vehicle naming, we’ve seen all kinds of mistakes and lack of foresight from many big-name manufacturers. For example: BMW: Realistically, they’ve only got 100 numbers to pick from for each model. The 3-series? 318, 328, 330… they’re…

2014 Jaguar XJ – Bangers, Mash, and Wasted Cash
Yes it wound up on a tow truck. No it wasn’t its fault. Nor ours. Fuck you. This car wasn’t really all that good but somehow it won us over. It’s plagued with pretty shitty build quality, obtuse 2010’s screen based infotainment, a soggy towel of a chassis, and a powertrain that lacked enough *oomph*…
