    Got the call…

    Congrats man! Just saw one for the first time in the wild a week ago and they look great. Front end looks real aggressive. Got a built Focus ST myself, so I def appreciate how fun and practical the hot hatches are. Would love to hear a little follow up review in a bit on how you like it thus...

    Tim Allen brings his RS200 to Leno's Garage

    That Subaru SRX, SVX, WRX-I...Geez lol! Poor guy seems like he's not all there. Always loved Tim Allen though as a genuine family guy. The RS200 always fascinated me and seems like such a cool car to drive. Ken Block really highlighted that with his RS200. Group B rally had the ballsiest...

    Where to get quality hose clamps?

    ABA clamps from West Marine if you have one near you or Breeze liner clamps from NAPA for local options. I worked on A-10 and F-15 airframes for a while, and ABA clamps were the only worm clamps used to secure various hoses and what not. They are the good stuff and smooth inside.

    Lightning EV vs Tesla 3

    Dude, there's a bunch of Tesla charging stations at this local Pilot travel center and the Tesla owners sitting in these cars look absolutely ridiculous and miserable waiting in their hot boxes... They have sheets and blankets tucked into their windows trying to keep the sun from giving them...

    Lightning EV vs Tesla 3

    I'll feel great about beating one. It's not the fact that they are not fast, it's the fact that most owners that buy them will think they are fast from the Tesla plaid videos they beat off to prior to purchasing and will think they are some untouchable machine built by Zeus himself. The good...

    Lightning EV vs Tesla 3

    Well looks like these will be very easy kills when I line my actual Lightning up next to one at a stoplight and the owners are feeling frisky. Can't wait to see their face after spending $100k plus on one of these and getting owned by a 20-year old farm implement. EV's are like taking one step...

    BaT - 2019 Shelby F-150 Super Snake

    Dude, that's awesome haha! Those trucks definitely look like ass, so I wholeheartedly agree there. I don't know what Shelby was thinking there or what blind 5 year old they have designing those bodykits and wheel packages, but they look atrocious.

    Escape plug in hybrid

    You're preaching to the wrong choir my friend on a performance vehicle forum. Also, vehicles are currently an appreciating asset due to the current market trends. Go on any marketplace and look at what used cars are going for right now, and re-phrase that statement. Granted you are usually right...

    I will miss you Ellie

    Had to go through this a little less than a year ago with my husky/mastif pup that was right around the same age... Got him a couple cheeseburgers before we went to the vet and held him the whole time. Killed me for a bit, so I feel your pain man. Time will heal, but the good memories will still...

    How did I miss that a new Motorola Razr was released?

    Yess!! The Slvr was actually the one I was thinking of that the Edge reminded me of. Funny thing is I got one of those too after I broke my Razr back in the day haha. Think I paid like $100 or less for it used in pristine condition back when phones were cheap and all unlocked lol

    How did I miss that a new Motorola Razr was released?

    The Motorola Edge reminds me of the Motorola Krzr they had back in the day too. Had a Razr and a Krzr and they were both pretty sweet! Price is a little out there though until I see how well it functions in person...

    AZ car registration question

    THIS. ^ The one thing I don't like here in AZ, is that registration cost is based off an appraised value of your vehicle. They likely adopted this method and algorithm from CA unfortunately. My Focus ST was over $350/yr for registration, whereas my Lightning was around $60/yr. Cost me only...
