For me, it is now week three of self isolation. A bum immune system has kept me from leaving my house much, but luckily, I have an absurd array of inane solo hobbies to keep me occupied (plus, you know, writing these blogs), and I’m here to share one of my favorites with you all in these boring times.

Yeah, sorry about that. Burnout is great! Amazing game series. Love the crashes and the punk rock. I will always be a fan of it, but my ADHD has found a matter more pressing at the exact moment I found this video, and it is this video and the game franchise it is an homage to, Need For Speed: Most Wanted.

We all had bedroom wall cars, and one of the defining models of late-millennial poster vehicles was the Dodge Viper GTS. Being born in the ‘90s meant that you had missed out entirely on the last era of enormous-engined, ill-handling, rip-asunder-the-Earth-torque-creating American muscle cars. Japanese sports cars were…

We’re all about to get $1,200 in economic stimulus. Well, some of us. And let’s be realistic, most of us will be saving it for emergencies, such as paying down the massive cost of getting treated for COVID-19, or paying rent as unemployment skyrockets. But hey, if you wanted to be depressed, you wouldn’t be reading my…

As a shameless anime dork, I have seen a ton of horrible, horrible animated television shows. It comes with the territory—there are some masterpieces, and a lot more series that really are not worth the time it takes to even watch the opening credits. Luckily for you, this also means I can save the pain of struggling…

The Burnout series, which I was introduced to by Revenge, was one of the only game franchises I religiously played growing up. Each game has its own charm to it, its own unique spin on what makes this Burnout game a little different than the rest. Ultimately, I was best at Burnout Dominator, but my all-time favorite…

If your brain is wired like mine, your car is basically always dirty. There is a sliding scale of what is considered “clean” and the definition changes to be just slightly cleaner than however clean you just finished getting it. However, with nothing to do, now is the change to attain the platonic ideal of clean with…

I always thought that in the future we would have flying cars. We live in 2020, which is decidedly the future, and we don’t really want flying cars. What we want are cars that fly.

I am not a complicated man. I see a white convertible sports car with a red wine cloth top and I get weak at the knees. There is nothing more to it than that. Mazda, indulging in a bit of navel gazing, decided to honor its own 100th anniversary by releasing a series of cars inspired by the first car it ever built.…

BMW has been teasing the R18 for over a year now, first with a series of customs using the new “big boxer” engine, then with a concept version, and finally the real thing was unveiled on Friday afternoon. BMW’s take on the big cruiser bike (and by extension the U.S. motorcycle market) is finally here, and it was worth…

“Free beach vacation in return for taking my rusty Cherokee” reads an email from a Long Island-based reader about his 1995 Jeep XJ. This comes just days after a Pennsylvania-based reader told me about his 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee: “If you’re interested in it it’s yours for the taking...That’s right... Free.” Now I…

There have been far too few truly good concept cars in the last decade. Whether this can be attributed to a proliferation of new forms of media OEMs can use to reach consumers, a decreasing importance of auto shows, or the general tightening of belts that still hasn’t eased from the last financial disaster, I’m sure…
