We shared major progress and changes to this car a few weeks ago and are so thrilled that the work is continuing! One might hing it has taken a step back since the body isn’t on it in this pic, but rest assured this is good stuff. If you missed the update a couple of weeks ago, we’ve got a link to that one down below as well! Finnegan’s Caddy is one of the more talked about projects from the Finnegan’s Garage channel, and is also one of the projects he’s most looking forward to. The plan is for

You aren’t going to see this kind of collection of old cars just anywhere, because if they aren’t hidden in the trees somewhere then they would find their way into someone else’s hands over the years. But this collection is one of those hidden in the woods deals that people talk about, and spread rumors of, and wonder what the history is all about. Luckily, our friend Tommy Lee Byrd is on the hunt in this video and has brought his young son along to check out the collection of goodies in the woo

Trust me when I tell you that finishing up a brand new build, and then going straight to a major drag and drive event with it, can be really stressful. By most logic it isn’t smart either. But and after having less than 30 miles on brand new combos, I’ve driven cross country in my drag and drive cars on multiple occasions and had to drive thousands of miles just to get to and from the event, let alone the 1300 plus during the event itself. It is not for faint of heart, but usually you at least k

A Bugatti Chiron with more than 100,000 miles on the odometer is making the rounds online, a number that feels almost impossible in a world where most hypercars live quiet lives between climate controlled garages and concours lawns. The photos, courtesy of supercar photographer Alex Penfold, show an odometer reading of 175,797 kilometers, about 109,235 miles, which would put it among the highest mileage Chirons ever seen publicly and likely the highest that has surfaced with clear documentatio

Having multiple apps on your smartphone just to be able to access whatever charging station you come across can be more than a little frustrating, and General Motors knows this. To make living with an EV easier, GM today announced that users can now find, charge, and pay at over 5,000 Electrify America fast-charging stations from within the myChevrolet, myGMC, or myCadillac app, simplifying charging for Equinox EV, Optiq, and Hummer EV owners. This "unified charging experience" means users no lo

For a long time, Audi stood head and shoulders above the rest in terms of interior quality, and that quality could be felt in every operation in the cabin, from the smoothness of the A/C vent adjustment to the click of a button for the infotainment system. But that quality feel has since been replaced by a certain cheapness, and that physical feel by excessive screen integration. Fortunately, Audi is on a path of self-correction, and the man helming its design direction plans a return to simplic

Rivian is recalling a small batch of R1T and R1S vehicles after determining that bolts securing the second-row outboard seat belt retractor assemblies may not have been properly tightened during production. If the retractor is not adequately secured, the seat belt may not restrain an occupant as intended in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Kristen Brown

China may be the BMW Group's largest market, but the United States is in second place, and it's Americans' appetite for large engines that is helping keep the V8 alive. Speaking with Automotive News Europe, a BMW spokesperson said that demand for V8 models in the U.S. is still "above average," adding that the configuration is likely to remain popular with Americans for the foreseeable future. As a result, production of certain engine components will continue beyond BMW's previously announced cut

The EV Packaging Problem Nobody Loves Talking About Electric vehicles (EVs) address plenty of challenges, but maximizing interior space isn’t always one of them. Today’s EV batteries are large, heavy units mounted under the floor, and that extra thickness comes with tradeoffs. Higher floors mean seating positions shift, and designers often have to make tough choices about rooflines, legroom, or the car’s overall shape. Some EVs end up looking taller than necessary, while others sacrifice cabin c

Pulling Back the Curtain Rimac has been gaining momentum – not only with the record-setting Nevera, but also with its advanced battery technology, which has attracted interest from other automakers. Despite the complexity of its engineering, Rimac remains unusually transparent about how it operates. That openness was on full display thanks to automotive YouTuber Misha Charoudin, who was granted behind-the-scenes access to the company’s facilities. Charoudin is best known for his content featurin

Canada is moving ahead with plans to allow Chinese-made electric vehicles into the country, and US President Donald Trump isn't happy about it. In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump slammed the decision as disastrous, warning it could have serious economic consequences for Canada and ripple effects across North America. His comments were later echoed by US Transport Secretary Sean Duffy on X, escalating an already sensitive debate around EV trade, tariffs, and geopolitical influence. Trump

The affordable EV segment has gotten quite a lot of attention in recent months. Nissan introduced an all-new Leaf and Chevrolet launched the new Bolt, both of which start at under $30,000. But another $10,000 or so can get you something larger and more refined, such as the Kia Niro EV. Kia has finally released pricing for the 2026 model, following the launch of the Niro Hybrid last year. The good news is that the price hike is modest, but the Niro EV now finds itself facing some tough competitio

No matter how you like your Mustang, there's something for everyone, and Shelby American just added to the available offerings with the 2026 Shelby GT350/TA, a street-legal supercharged 'Stang with more power than a GTD and several upgrades intended to make it the ideal track day toy. As the name implies, the car is inspired by the Trans Am road racing series and various Fords that competed therein, and just 70 will be made for the 2026 model year, making it rarer than the Mustang GTD or any cur

Turning the ‘60s Concept Into Reality The Runabout might not be the first Bertone name that comes to mind, but it played a bigger role than most people think. When it debuted in 1969, the original concept showed just how far Bertone was willing to push boundaries. This was the same era that produced the Countach and Stratos, the wedge-shaped legends that put Bertone on the map. Previewed in December, Bertone is bringing back the Runabout – not as a concept car but as a limited-run production sup

JaguarLand Rover may be reconsidering how hard it can stick to an all electric roadmap, according to a report from The Times that says the company is exploring a new model concept that still uses gasoline. The report does not describe a traditional gas powered vehicle, instead it points to a range extended electric approach that keeps an engine on board to generate

Keeping the V8 Alive Despite the broader industry shift toward electrification, Mercedes-AMG intends to retain a V8 engine in its lineup, with a comprehensively reworked version scheduled to debut in 2027. AMG’s V8 powerplants are still hand-assembled at the brand’s headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany, and a recent video from FRAME provides a behind-the-scenes look at how these high-performance engines are brought to life. The engine features cast-alloy blocks and cylinder heads, a configurati

The Race to Put a Solid-State Battery on the Road Automotive patents don’t always focus on a new product that is about to hit showrooms. More often, they give us a peek at the real issues carmakers face in the background – especially for upcoming breakthroughs. Solid-state batteries are a perfect example of that right now. In a nutshell, solid-state batteries replace the liquid electrolyte in today’s lithium-ion batteries with a solid material. On paper, that means more energy, quicker charging,

A Surprise Surge LPG- and CNG-powered cars aren't particularly popular in America, but they do thrive in other markets such as Turkey, Russia, and South Korea. That's thanks in part to benefits and tax breaks, but also lower emissions and the cost to fill up. With that in mind, there has been a sudden surge in Europe. Per Automotive News Europe, sales of LPG and CNG cars have risen, with nearly 350,000 sold across Europe last year. It's a substantial 9.8 percent increase over 2024's figures, and

The American Sleeper There’s something about sleeper builds that never goes out of style. They skip the flashy looks and keep things low-key, but the real story is under the hood. You’ll often find an engine and chassis setup that can put much louder, showier cars to shame. That element of surprise is what makes sleepers so satisfying, and it always delivers when you least expect it. We've seen a Fox-body Mustang doubling its power without changing its looks before. Now, here's another Ford that

Before Batteries, There Was a V8 While Volvo is now more closely associated with eco-oriented products, the Swedish automaker once offered a V8 in models such as the XC90 and S80 during the 2000s. The 4.4-liter B8444S may not be as bulletproof as alternatives like General Motors’ LS V8, but it still offers plenty of character – especially considering it was developed in collaboration with Yamaha, and its architecture even underpinned a 5.0-liter version used in Australia’s V8 Supercars. The all-

More Engine Choices for the Land Cruiser It's no secret that America is missing out on the 300 Series Land Cruiser. The only way to get it stateside is to visit your nearest Lexus dealer and choose the LX. Well, not enough people bought the 200 Series in the U.S, hence the decision to repurpose the smaller Prado version stateside instead. The realLand Cruiser is stacked with several engine options. There's the familiar 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6, a 3.5-liter twin-turbo diesel, and more recently, a

The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X has been breaking records everywhere since its launch, setting new benchmarks for American sports cars. Last year, it managed a spectacular time of 06:49.275 around the Nürburgring, beating the Ford Mustang GTD’s time to become the fastest American production car around the famous circuit. Then, to start 2026, it set 0-60 and quarter-mile times to crush cars costing ten times as much or more.  With all this in mind, it’s no surprise that a one-of-one ZR1X that went up

The Compact Gap in Ram’s Lineup With Ford and Hyundai currently the only brands competing in the compact pickup segment, speculation has grown over whether Ram might bring the Rampage to the U.S., especially given the model’s strong performance in Brazil. MoparInsider posed the question directly to Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, though his response was likely discouraging for those hoping to see the pickup offered stateside. While Kuniskis acknowledged that he would like to see the Rampage added to the U

Derek is back at it, and if you thought that his last couple of will it run videos didn’t pose enough of a challenge, then how does a Chevelle that has been sitting for 40 years sound? If he doesn’t get it running, then it is going to be the sound of silence, but hopefully he can make something happen with this one. Is it worth saving? Is every muscle car worth saving? Video Description: After sitting forgotten in the trees for 40 years, this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle is finally getting a second
