Weekend Car Culture Roundup June 01, 2024

It was only a matter of time before someone in a Tesla Cybertruck crashed into a crowd at a sideshow. While attempting to do some sort of reverse donut thing (I think) at a gathering in Chicago, a dark copper-wrapped Cybertruck backed right into a crowd of onlookers as a couple of people hung out the window of the stainless steel truck. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More

The Tesla Cybertruck is a fascinating machine. It looks like it was designed by a child, has corners so sharp they leave owners stuck in the emergency room and, despite its rugged ambitions, appears to be stumped by everything from small ramps to puddles. Now, a Cybertruck has been caught out by a river in California. - Owen Bellwood Read More

A massive haul of classic cars has been uncovered by police in Ontario, Canada, following a months-long investigation into a spate of thefts north of the border. Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) recovered $3 million worth of classics, including old Corvettes and Ford trucks, and arrested two people in connection with the haul. - Owen Bellwood Read More

Ford created something special with the Mustang GTD. An 800-horsepower muscle car with the bones of a race car is the stuff of dreams. Unfortunately, not many will get to enjoy its performance thanks to its $300,000 price tag and the fact that you have to apply to Ford to buy one. Whoever gets the chance to own one of these things, though, will be in for a mechanical treat. - Lawrence Hodge Read More

It has been nearly 100 years since the last Ford Model T rolled off the assembly line. While no one would bat an eye if Ford refused to service the once-ubiquitous vehicle, TFLclassics found a dealer willing to perform an oil change on its 1915 Model T. However, the most difficult part of the whole ordeal was getting to the dealership. - Ryan Erik King Read More

When you ask a car person what sound a loud Subaru makes, they’d likely mention the thrum of the brand’s iconic boxer four cylinder, since that’s the sound Subaru’s legendary rally cars make while screaming through a nordic forest. I recently came across a video of a straight piped flat six Subaru Legacy, and suddenly realized that it has a very similar pitch to that of a Porsche. Now I’m fantasizing about how badass a straight piped B9 Tribeca would be. - Logan Carter Read More

I recently spent time with a 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison. It’s an excellent small-ish truck with otherworldly off-roading capability and enough creature comforts to make it a great daily driver. While the Colorado ZR2 Bison is a very good vehicle, it isn’t perfect. No, ma’am. The one thing hindering the ZR2 Bison from greatness is its headlight controlls. I know, I know. That sounds very pedantic, but just hear me out, OK? - Andy Kalmowitz Read More

San Diego police officer Anthony Hair was forced to call for backup after running into a sticky situation with a female suspect. However, he wasn’t overpowered by her, outnumbered or unable to make an arrest, oh no. Instead, he managed to lock himself in the back of his cruiser with the suspect right after they said they were “down to f**k.” - Owen Bellwood Read More

How long do you usually go between washes on your prize car? A week? A month? A year? Well one Acura NSX owner left their pristine car locked away for more than 20 years without any care or attention, and now it’s been washed down for the first time in a ridiculously satisfying detail job. - Owen Bellwood Read More
