All that a lot of Jeep Wrangler owners really want Jeep to do is offer a V8 engine option. But Jeep isn’t really into sticking V8s into its 4×4, leaving V6 or turbo fours as the engine options in the current model – with a diesel option coming later.…

When opportunity comes knocking it is often best to answer. Preferably with a hearty “Hell yeah!” and especially when it involves a Nissan 370Z that’s been converted into an over-sized snowmobile on steroids.…

Nissan is showing off a highly-customized 370Z Roadster that will be on display at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show. The car is called the 370Zki, which is apparently pronounced “370-Ski,” despite its spelling.…

One glimpse at this Ferrari 308 GTS and the Magnum P.I. theme song will be stuck in your head. However, this particular specimen has given up its Italian V8 engine at some point along the way.…

Of all of the cars I’ve ever driven – and I’ve driven quite a few – my favorite is still the Ferrari 458 Italia. It just offered the right combination of power, oversteer, and drop dead looks that are everything you want in an Italian sportscar.…

I’ve seen plenty of wide-body and wide-track suspension kits, designed to give cars greater stability and room for wider tires, but these guys took vehicle widening to a whole new level.…

Seeing that the average book value on a 1988 Chevrolet Sprint is about $1,495, the idea of paying more than 23 times that amount seems outlandish – especially for a car with over 72,000 miles on the odometer.…

I keep meaning to attend the 24 Hours of Lemons. This real-life Wacky Races features a whole bunch of modded beaters that all started life as mass-produced, street-legal production cars.…

I’m a big fan of the current Jeep Renegade. It’s a spunky little SUV with distinctively Jeep looks, and it’s surprisingly capable off-road – especially in Trailhawk form.…

We know that Jeep is already releasing its own Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee, the Trackhawk. But the guys at True Street Performance couldn’t be bothered to wait for the official SUV, and decided to build their own, transforming a stock Grand Cherokee and into something awesome that can decimate the quarter mile.…

The first car that Tesla made was the Roadster, which started life as a Lotus model. That car is no longer available, so the folks from Speed Academy decided to make one for themselves.…

Novitec has announced that it has a new souped-up version of the Maserati Levante SUV that brings with it more style and performance. The Novitec upgrades include a tune that ups power to 494 hp and 487 lb-ft.…

Where I live in Colorado, people tend to slow down on the highway for no reason at all. Traffic gets backed up for miles and when you finally get to the front of the traffic line, there is no crash, slow down, or merge that should have been causing the jam.…

In general, I don’t think cars should be made into convertibles unless they were engineered that way from day one. Typically, chopping the roof off of a production vehicle causes all sorts of stability and body roll issues, regardless of how much you want the wind blowing through your hair.…

Remember back in November, when we heard that Ferrari-powered Toyota 86 fire up? The car sounded like an absolute beast. With Christmas already behind us, it’s a couple of days late, but Santa got to ride in the GT4586 and he is one lucky fat guy, with Ryan Tuerck behind the wheel.…
