Automotive ADHD

The Nissan Z is a far cry from the 240Z of old. While it is technically superior to the 240Z of the 1970s, it is dramatically more expensive, even when you account for inflation. The Z was supposed to be an affordable everyman's sportscar. Yet, the new Z's price competes with the Supra, Corvette, and entry level Porsches. Jim Miller and I talk about why that pricing has lead to an early demise of...

Hyundai does not want you working on your own car! Heck, they don't even want your independent mechanic working on it either. Jim Miller joins me to talk about how Hyundai's requirement for a $2000+ scan tool and software subscription to do a brake job go against everything right to repair. We also discuss the Jim's latest Celica endeavors, how Nissan is getting rid of the Z in dealerships, and mo...

Silverado and Sierra pickup trucks will no longer carry the Allison nameplate. General Motors and Allison Transmissions are splitting up, but like a vengeful ex-girlfriend, GM has decided to get back at Allison in an incredibly petty way. Which side of the relationship is at fault? Like real life, both sides may be equally as guilty. I discuss that, and why I think heavy duty diesel trucks are a s...

Gearheads and motorsports fans can celebrate as new North Carolina bill will save race tracks from lawsuits by encroaching housing developments.

Additionally, I discuss a shocking revelation I had about car washes and why the self service ones may be on the brink of extinction. Finally, my shop has new neighbors...

Car guys are celebrating as gas prices have hit a several year low. It's not just a win for automotive enthusiasts, but for all American families. The only problem is that half of the voting population does not want to acknowledge the reason behind it. I also talk about why my 2024 WRX is in the shop receiving a warranty repair after only 8500 miles. I discuss that, as well as a new California bil...

Things at Rivian are not looking good. After major layoffs, cutbacks, and a significant cash injection from Volkswagen, the electric vehicle maker might find itself among the likes of the American Motors Corporation. I discuss why that's happening, how EV demand is declining, and draw some remarkably similar historical connections between Rivian and AMC. If you like cars and want to stay in touch...

Updates are bricking Jeep Wranglers and while everyone is talking about the problem itself, I point out why this is a much bigger issue with industry-wide implications.

Did I mention I'm doing all of that live on the road from Yellowstone National Park? If you want to get up to sp...

My car insurance cost has been through the roof lately. Between the S2000, AE86, and Tacoma is was already pricey. But the addition of my 2024 Subaru WRX sent it off the scale. I finally decided to do something about it, and that something has now saved me THOUSANDS of dollars. I discuss that, as well as how Volkswagen's solution to touchscreens which is somehow WORSE than the screens it seeks to...

Everybody loves the underdog. American Motors, with cars like Rambler, Matador, Gremlin, Jeep, and Pacer, was certainly a loveable underdog. I continue my discussion with Joe Ligo, Emmy award winning television producer and creator of the documentary series, “The Last Independent Automaker”. Joe and I talk about a hypothetical alternate history where AMC is still in business, and ponder what sort...

American Motors Corporation has a fascinating history. With cars like the Rambler, Matador, Gremlin, Jeep, and Pacer, AMC had an unusual way of doing things.

Joe and I discuss the ups and downs of AMC, as well as his commitm...

Lee Zeldin and the EPA are set to repeal the Endangerment Finding, and it changes EVERYTHING for car enthusiasts, racing fans, or anybody who owns a car. Also after years of asking for it, the Jeep Gladiator finally gets a 392 flavored V8. Will it finally be what it takes for the quirky truck to sell, or will it be overpriced and out of reach? Finally in a beautiful twist of irony, Dodge is being...

Hertz Rent-A Car and its shady practices with AI scanners have been a mainstay in the news for all of the wrong reasons.
