This brand-new Ford F-450 Super Duty Limited looks like a wolf in sheep's clothing. With its light gray paintwork, it could trick you into believing it is a tamed pickup truck, ready to submissively follow orders. Oh, no, no way in the world! It is obviously a truck on steroids that left its ...

If a prefabricated home is good enough as a semi-permanent residence for Elon Musk, one of the world's richest men, Tesla and SpaceX CEO, and arguably the man who's going to take mankind to Mars, then a prefab must be good enough for a regular, Porsche-owning person. A prefabricated home is an ...
Living in the big city for almost 15 years, I've always preferred walking to hopping on the bus or the tram. I can easily walk for six miles if I need to. To some people, that sounds mind-boggling, as they'd never pick walking over driving. We are all different. Running a marathon sounds ...
You can call them "dad cars" and maybe chuckle a bit, but there's nothing derogatory about that term in today's quarter-mile race. In fact, these models would also be great for beginners who just turned advanced and want more than 68 horsepower under the hood. Many would consider a sedan with ...
Joe Lewis is often referred to as one of the world's most secretive billionaires, though admittedly, the two terms usually co-exist. We all love our privacy, but none as much as the world's richest men and women as they go about their daily lives and business. As of earlier this month, Joe ...
I skated for three to four hours a day during my teenage years. So, I never gained weight despite eating plenty of sweets and drinking plenty of Mountain Dew. Things changed when I switched from skating to driving, though. Driving around the continent for international drifting and drag racing ...
I am thrilled that I grew up in the '90s, before the Internet. Human relations were so much more meaningful back then. We could enjoy the little things in life and didn't need to spend thousands to be happy. Most people dream about returning to relive a certain time in their lives. But we'd ...
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company must have done a fantastic job in February 1966; there’s no other explanation for the outstanding durability of this set of four Power Cushion tires still rolling under the heft of an impeccable 1966 Buick Wildcat Custom two-door hardtop. With 10,000 miles ...
We love K5 Chevy Blazers around here. There's something about a classic boxy 4x4 that no modern SUV can quite replicate. They're even better when they have their guts ripped out and replaced with as much modern hardware as you can possibly stuff it with. We've seen more K5 Blazer restomods than ...
While everybody complains these days that "EV sales cooled down," plug-in vehicle sales are far from the predicted doom. Millions of new EVs and plug-in hybrids are added to the global fleet every year, so the charging needs to grow quickly. This spring, Voltpost caught my attention thanks ...
From the late 1980s to the late 2000s, manufacturers worldwide made a habit of stuffing powerful, naturally aspirated V8s into their high-performance sedans, and these five are our favorites. Although it was born in France at the beginning of the 1900s, the V8 engine spread li... (continue ...

The owner of the shop received notice that a Porsche 911 GT3 would be delivered that day. However, nobody expected it to look like that. Once they took the cover off it, they could not believe their eyes. There is no way in a million years that this car is going to return to the road. Even ...

When I was five or six, a car's top speed felt like the most interesting thing to me. In time, I've become more interested in acceleration levels, and I'm more into the 62 mph (100 kph) to 124 mph (200 kph) life now. This brave seven-year-old from the village came over to my house yesterday and ...
Corvette sales were already on the rise, so the 1973 performance didn't bring any surprises, with the coupe still accounting for most units leaving the assembly plant. Chevrolet produced 30,464 units in 1973, and the coupe accounted for over 83% with 25,521 units. Only 4,943 convertibles rolled ...

Just a few months ago, when it launched at the end of 2023, it seemed like Tesla's Cybertruck would become an unstoppable force due to pent-up demand and celebrity marketing. However, as it turns out, the competition is not sitting idle and admitting defeat. The Blue Oval company, the second ...
In 1908, Ford put the Model T into production, giving America its first mass-affordable vehicle. Since then, the automotive market has gone through dramatic shifts as it embraced new technologies and government regulations. And while thousands of nameplates have come and gone, some survived for ...
Sometimes, having the latest and greatest Lamborghini doesn't automatically mean getting the best-in-class supercar. However, owning both a Revuelto and a Ferrari SF90 helps smooth things over. This rings true, especially when you take these two amazing performance cars and race the legendary ...

One of my ultimate dreams is to own a house and a small racetrack next to it. I'd also love to have several cool cars and bring my friends over so we can drive for hours at least once a week. Until I can afford that, I can do only one thing. And that's putting on the PS VR2 headset and playing ...

A friend of mine is selling his Mazda RX-8 for cheap. When another buddy of mine heard the news, he immediately thought of a plan. He realized selling his Hot Wheels collection could pay for the car and even a few mods. He only has a few hundred castings, but they're all either Premium, RLC, ...
Unfortunately, Mansory still hasn't learned what good-looking means, so the controversial tuner has maimed another Mercedes-AMG G 63. However, there is a thick line between ugly rides and deep-pocketed car buyers, so one thing is certain: Mansory will keep making money no matter how grotesque ...

I've been having some strange thoughts lately. With all the stress of owning a project car, an idea slowly crept into my mind: What if we just enjoyed cars the way they left the factory? Think of the benefits. You'll spend more time behind the wheel than under the car. Maintenance costs will ...
It's been a little over a year since Lamborghini unleashed the Revuelto, and deep down, we knew a controversial tuner would eventually turn it into a kitschy ride. The company's name is Keyvany, and the project appears to be in the making. These are official renderings based on pictures of the ...

The Corvette’s second generation was a short-lived production run that debuted in 1963 and ended in 1967, just five model years later. It saw several important changes in the spirit of America’s sportscar. The biggest changes were probably introducing a coupe alternative to the ragtop-only ...
Though not powered by mighty big blocks like the legendary 426 HEMI, these five Mopars became muscle car icons thanks to their potent small-block V8s. During the golden age of muscle cars, Mopars ruled the streets, tracks, and drag strips with mighty big-block V8s under their... (continue ...
You can't possibly tell the color of this 1977 Ford F-250 just by looking at it. You need to see the papers to make sure. The vehicle has been sitting parked in a barn for the last 35 years. The amount of dirt that covers it right now would probably fill up the entire load bed. The first ...

The idea of downsizing in luxury might seem like a joke, and not necessarily a good one to boot, but it's reality. Luxurious downsizing is the fanciest form there is of downsizing – and a home like the Noyer XL is a good example of how it can be achieved. Tiny houses are still riding the wave ...
