As I approach middle-age, I’m starting to wander from my typical daily driver fare of too-stiff hot hatches and sports cars. I recently bought a big SUV and unfortunately like it more than I expected to. I’ve had a few American luxobarges in my teen years, because they were cheap and easy, but as I inch closer to…

There have been so many hundreds of different engine configurations built in the history of the automobile. Statistically some of them are bound to be stinkers. Some of these engines are on the list because they’re unreliable, some because they were recalled for defects, and some just because they were gutless hunks…

Audi’s latest EV, the 2025 Q6 E-Tron SUV and its more powerful sibling the SQ6, will sit smack in the middle of Audi’s electric SUV lineup, nestled between the Q8 E-Tron and the petite Q4 E-Tron.

The big downside, of course, is that if you crash, injuries are much more common. And no matter how safely you’re riding, there’s little…

Extreme tire wear during Sunday’s Food City 500 was so drastic that the NASCAR Cup Series field was dangerously close to not having enough Goodyear tires to complete the race. However, the difficult conditions produced one of NASCAR’s most entertaining short-track races in recent years. Saturday’s 12 Hours of Sebring…

The 2024 Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway turned into one of the most exceptional NASCAR Cup Series short track races in Next-Gen history thanks to one key factor: tire management. As the Goodyear tires eroded at a faster-than-expected pace, we saw a track record of 54 lead changes and side-by-side action from…

Building a car collection can be hard, and if the cars you’re interested in are rare or limited in production, it can be even harder. Most importantly, it takes a lot of time, since you can’t just hop on Autotrader and be guaranteed to find whatever you’re looking for. Alternatively, you could simply buy somebody…

Former President and current candidate Donald Trump directed promises of potentially economically devastating tariffs toward China and Mexico during a rally at the Dayton, Ohio airport on Saturday.

Tattoos share a bit of our soul with the rest of the world. I don’t have a soul, so I don’t have any tattoos, but you get the idea — but I’m very glad this guy has a soul, because he may also have the greatest tattoo I’ve ever seen. Kachow, baby. Kachow.

There are currently 57 electric vehicle models on sale in the U.S., and while Tesla is still the most popular, new players in the electric car market are driving competition and prices keep dropping. EV sales are still growing, though that rate of growth has slowed dramatically over the last year or so. The…

A sovereign citizen and mildly-famous singer from Florida has been arrested and detained by police on multiple occasions for using fake diplomatic plates on more than one car. The 32-year-old woman, Cecilia Mercado, goes by the name “Sessi” as a singer, and has a modest fanbase on social media. Video of her being…

One of the best parts about being a car enthusiast is that you’re constantly stumbling on cars and trims you never knew existed. I’ve gone down the forgotten performance car rabbit hole, and I can’t get free. A lot of these forgotten cars were actually produced in my lifetime, but I can’t remember ever seeing one.…

Cars cost too much these days. Used cars, new cars — they all demand too much from our increasingly beleaguered wallets. Sure, new cars offer more features, tech, and safety than every, but how much are those worth to you in real, actual dollars?

Idiots. They’re absolutely everywhere on the road, and they drive a whole lot of different vehicles. However, sometimes a car is just a bit of an idiot magnet. Whether that’s fair or not isn’t for me to say, but that’s what led us to last week’s question.
