    BMW’s in-house tuner Alpina never fails to add an extra kick to standard BMW models.

  • The Mercedes-AMG GT53 is a masterclass in smoke and mirrors

    Nearly a century ago, magicians commonly cut their female assistants in half. The assistant would climb into a large box where both the head and feet could be seen protruding. The magician would produce a comically large saw and begin to cut the all too willing victim in half. The saw would exit the bottom […] More

  • DRIVING A 1972 FORD F100 IS PROOF OUR ANCESTORS WERE TOUGHER THAN US

    Fifty years ago this year, my 1972 Ford F100 rolled out of a dealership showroom in Oakland, California. It was “Seapine Green” (read: guacamole green) and equipped with an equally appropriate to the era vinyl green interior. It was ordered as a Custom trim, which means the lowest you could get.

  • The Two-Winged beast from the USSR

    The pinnacle era of Rallying, Group B, was most definitely brief (unfortunately), savagely brutal and above all else, simply brilliant.

  • Mansory’s F8XX Spider is an all-but-subtle interpretation of a Ferrari F8

    When Mansory debuted their depiction of the Ferrari F8, named the F8XX, we couldn’t imagine the German tuner producing a wilder take on Ferrari’s mid-engined supercar.

  • The 2022 Honda Civic Si is a lukewarm wet dream for Honda fanboys

    I’ll admit I’ve never been a Honda fanboy.
