What Drivers Need to Know Right Now Several fires are burning across southern Florida, and the Florida Highway Patrol is actively monitoring I-75 for smoke. The most pressing threat for drivers is in Collier County, where the Hilux Fire is burning in Big Cypress National Preserve just north of I-75 and east of State Road 29. The fire, which ignited April 3 near Bear Island Campground, grew to 511 acres with zero percent containment as of this past weekend. According to the National Interagency F

Every year, over 5,000 people die in commercial truck crashes across the United States. While many are tragic accidents, a disturbing number involve "chameleon carriers"—unsafe trucking fleets that dodge federal penalties by simply changing their names. And despite years of warnings, the regulatory loophole allowing them to operate remains wide open. Chameleon Carriers The mechanism is straightforward. When a commercial carrier racks up a large number of safety violations, out-of-service orders,

A routine drive on Florida’s I-95 turned into a scene straight out of an action movie when a small aircraft made an emergency landing directly onto a moving Toyota Camry. The dramatic moment, captured on a passing driver’s dash cam, has quickly spread online, showcasing one of the wildest real-world crash scenarios you’ll ever see. What Happened on I-95 WESH 2 says the aircraft wa

A near-new Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, once owned by Dave Navarro, has sold on Cars and Bids for more than its original sticker price by $16,205. With just 250 miles on the clock, a rare four-seat layout, and a bundle of signed memorabilia, this example stands out even among modern power-hungry Shelby cars.

The V12 LS based engine that Dave Kindig spec’d for the Kindig-It Designs built TwelveAir Ridler Winning Corvette project turned heads, just like the first ones folks saw nearly a decade ago when Race Cast Engineering out of Australia first debuted them in Las Vegas at the SEMA Show. I mean who doesn’t love an LS based engine anyway, but when you add four more cylinders to the thing it just gets better and better. And despite Race Cast starting to build these things years ago, you just don’t see

Jury Sides With De Tomaso in Showdown With Former CEO De Tomaso Automobili has won a sweeping courtroom victory against its former CEO, Ryan Berris. According to a report from Business Wire, after a unanimous jury verdict in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Berris filed suit in 2023, alleging he had an oral compensation agreement granting him equity in the revived automaker, along with other benefits, including one of its limited-production supercars. He also accuse

A V12 That Looks Alive While car engines are typically celebrated for their performance, reliability, and sound, De Tomaso’s V12 for the P900 may be setting a new benchmark in design. The Italian marque has just unveiled its new V12, and it looks otherworldly—so much so that some have compared it to visuals straight out of the Alien movie franchise. The loudest design cue is the exhaust manifold, which De Tomaso calls the 12-to-1 exhaust. Each of the 12 cylinders channels its exhaust gases into

The OG Volume Teslas We can still remember reading the reviews from 2012. Like it or not, the Tesla Model S was pivotal in making EVs gain mass-market appeal, not just in America, but worldwide. It helped that it was a hugely competent car and practically set the baseline for EVs in the coming years. A few years later, it was followed up by the Model X to satisfy the crossover-hungry market. Divisive Falcon Doors aside, it, too, was a massively impressive vehicle in its day, spawning several com

Safety Concerns Automotive lawsuits cover a wide range of issues. They are usually filed for faulty products, missing features, or, worst, for vehicle occupant safety being put on the line. The latter is the most concerning, considering that a bulk of the value sold to a customer is the safety features and safeguards installed in the vehicle. A lawsuit filed against Ford in Arizona belongs in the latter, claiming that a defect in the C-Max Hybrid's design has some very serious, lethal repercussi

Dealer Accused of Selling $70K Jeep to Dementia Patient A dealership in Carrollton, Georgia, is facing serious allegations after reportedly selling a nearly $70,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee to an 83-year-old man diagnosed with dementia. According to a report from The Sun and WSB2 in Georgia, the family of John Benson, a salesperson from Scott Evans ChryslerDodgeJeep, visited him at his senior living facility after he responded to an advertisement, ultimately facilitating a purchase that his daughter

Unbreakable Trust The relationship between a dealer and an owner is special – one that's built on trust. If the dealer earns the customers' trust, it also gains their loyalty, ensuring that all service and repair work, as well as future model purchases, remain at the same place. In the customer's case, having a trustworthy dealer removes headaches when certain parts or repairs need to be addressed; the customer expects the dealer to return the same level of trust with proper repairs and zero sha

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 is an attractive machine in many ways, from its angular, sporty bodywork to the remarkable speed of the GR Sport variant, and dealers are taking advantage, adding thousands of dollars worth of markups to the crossover. Carscoops reports that several dealers are guilty of being greedy, and this is nothing new. The updated RAV4 began arriving at U.S. dealers in December last year, and as two-month-old threads on Reddit show, dealers wasted no time tacking on their so-called "m

Volkswagen's subsidiary, Scout Motors, hasn’t delivered a single production vehicle yet, but the Volkswagen-backed startup is in legal trouble. A new lawsuit in Colorado is challenging the state’s decision to allow Scout to sell vehicles directly to customers, a privilege reserved for EV-only automakers. This isn't the first time that Scout has had legal battles tied to its direct-to-consumer ambitions, either. Dealers Call Out The State of Colorado

We’re just a few weeks away from 2026, yet the majority of 2024 Dodge Hornet plug-in hybrid inventory is still sitting on dealer lots. According to a study of 2.6 million new car listings, supply of the electrified Dodge crossover has comprehensively outstripped demand, with 82.1% of 2024 Hornet PHEV inventory still available, as of December 2025. The compact Dodge’s pricing has been a problem from the start, as has the impact of tariffs. With so many 2024 models still unsold, how much time does

A key precedent set The long-running battle between automakers and franchised dealers over direct-to-consumer sales just tilted again, this time in Colorado. Scout Motors, the Volkswagen-backed revival of the iconic off-road brand, has secured a dealer license that allows it to sell vehicles directly to customers in the state. For dealers already uneasy about the slow erosion of the franchise model, it’s another worrying precedent. Colorado’s Motor Vehicle Dealer Board voted 6–2 to grant Scout M

The Recall That Refuses to End It’s been over twelve years since the first recalls in 2013, but the Takata airbag crisis remains unresolved. BMW issued another Takata airbag recall recently for faulty airbags in 2000-2001 X5s, with anywhere between 15-25 million vehicles across manufacturers, all with potentially lethal airbags still on the road. With Takata being the dominant airbag supplier in the early 2000s, over 100 million vehicles were affected. What makes these deaths particularly tragic

The global car industry is not in the rudest of health right now, and one of the companies bearing the brunt of that more than others is Stellantis. Whether it’s sluggish sales or sizeable losses due to a changing market, it’s no secret that the mega-company formed by the 2021 merger of Fiat-Chrysler and Europe’s PSA group has been struggling of late. However, it’s not all bad news for the company, as it’s just added around 1,700 new jobs in Canada in a third shift at its assembly plant in Winds
