Warping Cybertruck Tailgates, ‘Speed Limit Enforced By Aircraft’ Signs And SEC Football Fans In This Week's Car Culture Roundup

While Hyundai and Kia have been rolling out impressive new EVs like the Ioniq 5 N and Kia EV9 and redesigning existing models like the Sonata, the automaker still has the lingering problem of bad engines. Without much support from the automakers, it’s up to owners to figure out why these engines have been eating oil and going bad. One such owner has a compelling theory. - Lawrence Hodge Read More

Tesla Cybertrucks are proving to be absolutely dogshit when it comes to doing truck stuff. Now, we’ve got another example of just that.

Every year, many of the most valuable cars in the world make their way to Monterey, California for Car Week. It’s possible to still enjoy the event for relatively little money, but really, this event isn’t really for people like us. It’s for the billionaires and mega-millionaires who can afford to collect Nazi cars and drop seven figures at an RM Sotheby’s auction.
