This shot is great! Did you take it? If you did, can we use it in AOTD?  Read more

Fun fact: This is not DMC! DeLorean Motors Reimagined (who made this concept) clearly has some sort of deal with DeLorean Motor Company, but no one seems to know what it is. Read more

Honestly, I would be very intrigued to hear your take on the new Si. The turbo may mean the engine can’t spin quite as fast, but it adds some of that “wall of torque” you liked in the M. Read more

Honestly, I think the 0-60 time could be improved a bit with different tires. I spent all day chirping second gear at full throttle. Not that I was complaining. Read more

There was no TRX back then, we had to make sure we were giving cars their best shot Read more

We originally wanted to include an ebike! The logistics didn’t end up working out, but it would be really fun to revisit Read more

If you want the GR86, it’s a great choice. It’s also an entirely different car, for a different audience.
