Got something to Carfe...

Car magazine's James Dennison steps into the Carfessions booth with three loves and three hates for Jack and Cam to mull over.

His final love, however, is entirely different, and that's the clever ways manufacturers implement buttons t...

Jack, meanwhile, feels good about the direction of car interiors, and has...

Want to carfess something: DM us on Ins...

Jack and Cam take to the Carfessions booth this week with a fresh batch of loves and hates to chew on. For the loves, Jack comes in strong with seeing cars from defunct brands on the road, which swiftly turns into a Saab love-in, while Cam admits to creating mini rivalries at traffic lights.

This week, Jack and Cam shares their loves and hates from a very busy (and extremely hot) Goodwood Festival of Speed. Of course, there's a lot to love about the goodest of woods, with Jack gushing over Lanzante, Cam getting far too excited about rally cars and the the Disneyland-like aura of seeing old racing drivers behind the wheel of their old cars. Granted, it's hard to think of anythi...

This week, Jack and Cam bring their own motoring loves and hates to the Carfessions booth.
