We all love full boogie race parts and high end components for our projects, but sometimes that stuff can be a bit overkill not only from a performance perspective, but also from the budget standpoint. I mean I’m a huge fan of the Single and Triple Adjustable Ridetech shocks that we’ve been running on projects for years, with their impact forged aluminum Fox shock bodies and all the technology, but I’ve got a couple of cars that the expensive shocks feel a little bit overkill on, even though the

New Complaints Surface The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is reopening an investigation into a rear coil spring defect affecting more than 330,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L models. Interestingly, the issues with these SUVs were supposedly resolved through a recall in 2023. According to the report, at least 20 owner complaints have been filed, raising concerns that the original safety campaign may not have fully addressed the problem. For context, Jeep previ

When AWD Suddenly Isn’t AWD All-wheel drive is one of those features you don’t really think about – until you need it. Outside of rally racing, it’s all about keeping your car planted when the weather turns bad. In places where snow, rain, or slick roads are part of daily life, plenty of buyers are happy to pay extra for the peace of mind that comes with AWD. But what if that extra peace of mind quietly disappears when you need it most? That’s exactly the question at the heart of a new federal i

The Incident Back in January, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a report of a Waymo vehicle that struck a child in a school zone. The incident occurred on January 23, 2026, and Waymo sent its required report to NHTSA on January 28, 2026. Parents reading this can breathe a sigh of relief. Considering the nature of the accident, the child, reportedly, sustained minor injuries. No injuries would have been ideal, but this situation could've been much worse. Per the

The Blue Oval is facing a new headache over older pickup trucks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary investigation into 2015-2017 Ford F-150 trucks on 21 March 2025 due to reports of issues with 6R80 or 10R80 automatic transmissions that may unexpectedly downshift without warning or driver input. The NHTSA has now upgraded that query into a full investigation, covering 1,270,970 examples of the pickup, after more than 60 percent of surveyed owners reported pro

Criminal No More? The Trump administration has continued to scale back vehicle emissions-related regulations that were expanded under the previous administration. Most recently, the U.S. Department of Justice moved to shift alleged diesel emissions-tampering violations away from federal criminal prosecution and toward civil enforcement. According to a CBS News report, the Justice Department instructed federal prosecutors to stop pursuing criminal charges and to dismiss all pending cases related

Cost No Object The GTD is easily the most expensive factory Ford Mustang in history. It might take a while before that record is beaten, and at over $300,000, we're not holding our breath. That said, it's an entirely different animal compared to the garden-variety GT, and it's a few rungs higher than the already potent Dark Horse. Despite the price tag, Ford has shifted a good amount of Mustang GTDs. From a previous report, the Blue Oval managed to shift 231 examples of what's essentially a stre

If you didn’t catch the entire Indy 500 on TV yesterday, you missed some drama for sure. With rain effecting the race, but officials, fans and racers sticking it out, there was no shortage of emotions as the final few dozen laps were contested on the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In a race off turn 4 like none we’ve seen in years, Felix Rosenquist and David Malukas put it all on the line. In a field that had more lead changes than any other Indy 500 in history, Rosenquist and Malukas were t

The cost of convenience ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance System, is a feature many car buyers look for when purchasing a vehicle. The system helps keep a vehicle in its lane, and can even steer the car automatically for a short period if needed. Some ADAS systems switch lanes for you, and can even drive your vehicle for long spells if you’d prefer not to have your hands on the wheel. It can even avoid crashes, engage emergency braking, and let you know when someone is in your blind spot. For

Fernando Alonso has added another ultra-rare machine to his already remarkable car collection, this time taking delivery of a one-of-one Pagani in Monaco. The two-time Formula 1 world champion was recently seen driving his Zonda Roadster Diamante Verde around the streets of the principality, grabbing attention with its exposed green-tinted carbon fiber bodywork and unmistakable V12 soundtrack. A One-Off 6-Speed Manual Zonda

After introducing the 296 GTB with 819 horsepower and then superceding it with the 858-hp 296 Speciale, a new report from Italian media claims that the third iteration of the Ferrari 296 may exceed 900 hp, making it even more powerful than the 819-hp 12Cilindri, which has twice as many cylinders. According to Automoto, optimization of the electrical components of the plug-in hybrid powertrain and tweaks to the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged, 120-degree V6 engine could take the new 296, expected to

Once upon a time, it was more than enough to own a supercar to prove your wealth. But what if your guests are in your apartment and can't see what's in your garage? In 2018, a Pagani Zonda R was used as wall art, and in 2023, a McLaren Senna GTR owner went viral for lifting his supercar 57 stories so it could be displayed in his apartment, and since then, there have been several others who have gone to similar lengths to display their love of exceptional cars. In some cases, luxury manufacturers

A Supercar Fantasy Goes Up In Flames With iconic Ferrari models like the Enzo, F40, and 250 GTO, owning one remains a dream for many. That dream, however, turned into a nightmare for a Montreal man after he suffered second- and third-degree burns to more than 56% of his body when a Ferrari 360 Spider caught fire. Before anything else, it’s worth noting that this incident appears to be an isolated case – not a knock on the Ferrari 360, which is arguably one of the most beautiful Ferraris of the m

Approved? How? If you didn't already know, Ferrari is very strict about aftermarket modifications. Even if you've fully paid for your car, you could say that you don't outright own it. That's why some people, celebrities, and influencers are downright banned from ever owning another Prancing Horse ever again. While it is possible to modify a Ferrari, you have to keep in mind that the modifications should not infringe on or destroy the brand and design identity of the vehicle. Failing to follow

Customers have complained that touch controls are not as engaging or as easy to use as real buttons, and Ferrari has been doing something about it. New cars are getting physical buttons on the steering wheels again, and even slightly older models can be retrofitted with more tactile controls, too. It's not the only automaker addressing the issue, either. At the other end of the price scale, Volkswagen is bringing real buttons back, but why are touch controls so proliferative in the first place?

A Trend That Backfired While steering-wheel capacitive touch buttons with haptic feedback offer a minimalist aesthetic and allow more functions, it didn’t take long for the technology to draw criticism. Some argue that it creates usability issues, with Volkswagen even facing a lawsuit alleging that the ID.4’s steering wheel controls led to unintended acceleration. Ferrari also jumped on the trend with some of its more recent releases, including the Purosangue, before returning to physical contro

The Ferrari Icona That Doesn’t Need Fixing The Ferrari Daytona SP3 isn’t the kind of car that needs aftermarket upgrades. As a member of Ferrari’s Icona series, it’s already one of the rarest modern Ferraris, with just 599 units worldwide. The design pays clear tribute to the brand’s endurance racing past, mixing classic prototype cues with a modern carbon-fiber body. Behind the seats is a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, producing a sound that is becoming increasingly rare. It’s arguably perf

The V6 is better in this case The Ferrari F80 is one of the brand's most prolific offerings in recent memory, as the limited-production supercar is meant to represent the pinnacle of the Prancing Horse's engineering teams. Unveiled last October, just 799 units of the F80 are being built to commemorate the brand's 80th birthday. But despite being pegged as the brand's ultimate supercar, the engineers at Maranello have distinctly omitted one Ferrari signature feature that has raised some enthusias

At the end of last year, Ferrari filed a new trademark for "HC25," and now it's revealed the one-off this name is for. Based on the F8 Spider, the Ferrari HC25 is a stunning drop-top with the multiple award-winning 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged F154 V8, meaning 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque going to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. That also means no hybridization. Maranello says it will get to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and 124 mph in 8.2 seconds, with a top spe

The Ferrari 12Cilindri was revealed nearly two years ago as the replacement for the 812 Superfast, and that means buyers of Maranello's only remaining V12 product have had plenty of time to let their imaginations run wild. Ferrari still won't let you paint its cars pink, but purple with white accents? That is now acceptable. As part of the Tailor Made program — like Porsche's Sonderwunsch or Bentley's Mulliner Bespoke — Ferrari has just revealed a car that it describes as "the celebration of the

Long gone are the days when Italian exotics had a reputation for being heinously unreliable and bursting into flames if you looked at them the wrong way, but even so, Ferrari faces a recall in 2026. The company has been producing sports cars since 1947, but it still gets things wrong from time to time, and the reason the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has published a recall for the 12Cilindri is comically basic: its rear and side windows have been tinted too heavily. But unlike a

The Ferrari 849 Testarossa has a deployable rear spoiler that helps keep the supercar planted at high speeds, but even when this is inactive, the rear end of the car looks a little awkward, thanks to upturned spoiler lips that sit above its taillights. Similarly, the new 296 Speciale has aerodynamic elements that extend beyond the main bodywork, disrupting the sports car's clean lines, but if a new patent filed by Ferrari at the United States Patent and Trademark Office is anything to go by, Mar

It seems that Ferrari is preparing to produce a new one-off supercar, and it may already have a name. According to Road & Track, which discovered a new trademark with the World Intellectual Property Office, that name may be "HC25." If you have a bank account with nine figures in it, buying "regular" supercars and hypercars like the Ferrari 12Cilindri or Bugatti Chiron just doesn't cut it. If you're a Bugatti aficionado, you can commission something like the one-off Brouillard, and if you're
