How My World Has Changed
My life started in January 1945. I was ready to go the minute I rolled off the assembly line. The factory shipping department placed me on a train that transported me from Detroit, MI, to a dealership in Little Rock, AR, where I was parked and ignored.

Modern vs. Vintage Car Headlights: Key Design Differences Explained
Maybe you’ve wondered why most classic cars have such plain-looking headlights. That’s because, up until the 1980s, headlights basically came in two shapes: round or square. You could “choose anything,” as long as it was one of those two. Sure, there were a few oddball designs here and there, but I’d bet 95% of headlights worldwide were either round or square. It wasn’t something that could easily be changed—mainly because the tech just wasn’t there yet.

When Driving Lost Its Soul
By someone who still hears the engine even after it's off. There was a time when a car wasn't just something you used. It was something you felt. It wasn't built to impress your neighbors or sync with your phone. It was built to take you somewhere and make damn sure you remembered the ride.

Why Cadillac Struggles to Match Mercedes and BMW in U.S. Prestige
This question came up when I saw Cadillac trying to make a comeback with the Celestiq and some other pricey EVs. I mean, for decades now, it has felt like most people don’t really get Cadillac anymore—even in the U.S. A lot of folks prefer European cars over Cadillacs, and that’s one of the reasons the brand’s been slowly fading. In 2024, Cadillac probably sell around 100K cars, while Mercedes can hit 300K a year in the U.S. That’s kind of weird, especially since Cadillac is supposed to be a classic American brand. So what happened?

The Shift from V6 to Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Engines: What’s Behind It?
I think car enthusiasts have felt this shift for a while now—over the past few years, it seems like we’re getting fewer and fewer big-engine options. A lot of muscle cars and high-performance models that used to come with V8s are now being downgraded to V6s. In some cases, there’s even an option for a turbocharged inline-4. Sure, those smaller engines might deliver decent power, but they don’t have the same feel or character as a big V8. So what’s behind all these changes?

The Decline of the 3-Seater Front Bench: Why Aren’t Cars Made This Way Anymore?
For those of you from the older generation who remember this—up until the 1980s, you could still get a front bench seat that fit three people comfortably, especially in full-size American cars. I guess that was the peak of American comfort and engineering. You could just sprawl out on those things and ride in style. But a few decades ago, they pretty much vanished. So… why did they go away? Let’s talk about it.

Hollywood on Two Wheels: 15 Celebrities Who Actually Ride
I’ve never owned a bike or scraped a knee puck in some heroic canyon-carving lean-angle. But the roar of an engine, the smell of hot rubber, and the instant cool factor of a scuffed black T-shirt speak to my soul. Call me a garage-door dreamer—one of those people who follow #bikelife on Instagram while clutching a car key fob—but hey, we all start somewhere, right? So let’s live vicariously through the famous folks who actually twist the grip.

The Rise of Ineos: Is Ineos Capitalizing on Land Rover’s Pickup Absence?
This is actually an interesting topic. You see, JLR (Jaguar Land Rover) stopped production of the Land Rover Defender a while ago for some reason. There was another company trying to make a new Defender, though. Why? Well, the owner of that company really liked the Defender and was upset when it was discontinued, so he decided to make a new version. That's how the Grenadier came to be.
