    1997 Ford F-250 HD XLT SuperCab Power Stroke 4×4 5-Speed

    I know I posted it before…but I loved my buddys ‘97 7.3 5sp! They ain’t fast, but just super fun to drive!

    1997 Ford F-250 HD XLT SuperCab Power Stroke 4×4 5-Speed

    BEAUTIFUL truck!! A buddy had one and it was a blast to cruise around in and the manual made it just that much better! But man…the prices these days…I know its a broken record and I’m getting tired of saying it myself…but $31k for a 27yo 165k mile truck…while in reality great condition…I just...

    This Rip-Off Red Mustang Is Classic Car Flipper Butchery Of The Highest Order!

    Uh… more info on this…? (I almost said “in for junk pics”…but realized I’d get crucified pretty quick, although, might have been worth it for the lol’s)

    RIP Tesla cybertruck

    I finally saw some in the wild around the San Francisco area. Meh, not for me, but its not so bad I'd kill myself if I had to look at it for a long time. I did see a LOT of EV "trucks" around the Yosemite area.(but not a ton of places to charge...) With gas being around $5.75, I kind of get it...

    Lets see those trucks!

    How involved was this...? I just pulled the cover & left it off on my '19 Mustang when I installed a catch can. I didn't like the huge gen 3 cover, but wow its pretty ugly without it.

    Had One for a Rental

    I’m sort of surprised Ford hasn’t released something like this already. Most of the other car companies have an “off-roady” version of their crossover SUVs and they seem to be selling well. Even if they’re just used for a scary trip to WholeFoods or some shit…

    Had One for a Rental

    Had this for a rental for a week & a half. It was a low end rental spec Big Bend edition. It actually wasn’t bad. The 1.5eco was semi- adequate, but I’d definitely opt for a 2.0 if I had to own one. The only benefit of the 1.5 is the gauge reported 30mpg(I didn’t hand calculate it) and that was...

    One of the Better Styled New Broncos I've Seen

    I’ve always wished US Mags would release the U101 slots in late model friendly offsets…but nothing yet. This guy had custom wheels made by Augment Wheel Company to complete his Bill Stroppe “Baja Bronco” tribute, but I’m sure they were pricey!

    Anyone do a Beater Build...something a little Rougher than "patina"?

    If you go turbo, Marty at Mo's Speed Shop knows Panther tuning if you don't move to a stand alone system. I was surprised simple mods to my buddies '07 Town car; P71 front swaybar, factory 21mm rear bar, home ported upper plenum & P71 intake(that requires a tune) actually feels pretty good...

    2025 RAM 1500 | MotorWeek Road Test

    I will agree that it could be strong competition for the current regular Raptor just based on price and consumers typical use of trucks like this.

    2025 RAM 1500 | MotorWeek Road Test

    You'll notice one thing missing from that video that was prominently displayed in all things TRX related...the engine soundtrack. I totally get the turbo I6 has many advantages that outweigh engine sound. But it kind of reminds me of super foods that taste bad...I eat them because my mind can...

    Anyone do a Beater Build...something a little Rougher than "patina"?

    A friend of mine has super clean stuff and is tired of being worried about it, so he's building a rough around the edges '67 Bel Air with a leftover BBC and will beat it like a rented mule! There are times when I'm worried about where I'm parking, did I clean it good enough...that this sounds...

    Are G-Body Cars extinct?

    This was a badass G-body a guy was building on here...not sure what happened to it? I bought a 1 of 1 car, be jealous

    Bought a Dark Horse with the Ford Performance Whipple Kit

    Was this a special order that someone backed out on and you picked up? I thought Green Bordered window stickers indicated a customer special order? What do you think of the Recaro's? I hate them in my wife's Focus RS...and I'm not a big guy.

    Deadpool & Wolverine Red Band Trailer

    I'll definitely watch it! Probably a good thing Hugh did it now...at 55, I imagine the ability to achieve the Wolverine bod is fast coming to a close.
