The CR-Z came out in 2010 in Japan and the reception was really bad from most everyone due to the Hybrid powertrain that was not sporty nor saved on gas that much and most people just really wanted (and was hoping for) an updated standard/Normal CRX. Then they doubled down on this Hybrid tech in 2016 with the 2nd Gen

Tokyo Drift (to ME the only “real” car centric F&F movie.) the Hans Hyundai Diss:

The new Acura Integra. If you know, you know. 

I guess? I think more like playing/crawling/sitting in the driveway or smaller kids walking in front of cars at stoplights etc? IDK.  

This article really relates to me as I have been seriously considering a new 2023 Miata RF and the size of cars around me is pretty scary since they are mostly SUVs. Even compared to CUVs like Rav4s or CRVs the Miata is pretty small and low. I am not even sure if they can see it if in a blind spot. I drive on the

Was the car a 190E like the picture you posted? I read in other articles that it was a 560SL.  “KTVU has learned that the car in question is a Mercedes 560 SL with a personalized license plate linked to former homeowner Johnny Bocktune Lew, who moved to Washington state and has since died. Police believe the car was

Not technically “vintage” but am torn on how these “art and science” cars have aged. I like them in a way I kind of like retro games like Mario and Donkey Kong but not sure if I want to daily them...

I always feel its a bit unfair for us Hawaii people because by the time we wake up to see the post to comment there are already 100+ comments before us. I hope this gets read. The best headlight design (and maybe ONE of the most expensive) is the Bentley Flying Spur “Crystal” Headlights.

Any used Nissan Leaf experts out there? There is a 2011 for sale with 10 bars of battery on it for 6K near me. Its tempting since I heard 10 out of 12 bars isnt bad. However I also heard to stay away from 2011 to 2014 Leafs because of the substandard battery. Just not sure if I should even consider this one...

This is also coming soon. But its a GM so take it as you will:

I kind of miss these “Un-Pimp” your ride VW commercials. They are like a time capsule when most everyone pimped out their civic or accord with huge body kits and wings and crazy actual paint jobs.

I like the direction Hyundai and Kia are going with their cars. The Ioniq 5 and EV6 are unique and compelling designs. If I may ask do you feel the Hyundai negative “stigma” of not being up to par with Toyota, Nissan and Honda is gone and they are now equals?

Maybe a topic for a future article. Is there a conspiracy here where all the great looking cars always tend to have issues with reliability. Mazda has made some Awesome looking cars in its time FD, Furai yet they have the rotary which is good but needs a bit more care than other cars and speciality knowledge to

So is the SL55 a Supercar? Rare, 2 seats, Fast for the time. Not mid engine though. 

Open letter: There are some members here (that participate often) that tend to be so mean spirited that it makes me not want to participate. I would say 85% of the comments I get from commenting to posts are positive. However there are always the ones who nit-pick at things like grammar (I had one small grammatical

Question: As a non truck person what can you put in a bed of a truck that is safe to not fly out at freeway speeds? Like if its a nice sunny day can I go to Costco and buy paper towels and toilet paper and some milk and eggs and just put it in the open bed and drive (like I would in the truck of a car/station wagon/SUV

Are “reviving” these names from automakers just a nostalgic cash grab? First the NSX, then the Mustang Mach-E and now the Integra. Doesnt marketing know that we will instinctively compare these new models to the previous ones and sometimes not in a good way? Wouldnt it be better if they just named this thing the ILX
