We love barn finds, and I know you guys do too, and part of the fun of a barn find is seeing what it looks like after the first wash. With decades of dust, dirt, and bird poop, this 1970 Chevrolet Suburban needs a bath in a big way, and the 90 year old man who owns it hasn’t seen it clean in at least 40 years. 40 years! Watch WD Detailing work their magic on this thing. Video Description: War Veteran Surprised With His Truck Cleaned For The First Time in 40 YEARS! EMOTIONAL REACTION Today, w

Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale Auction this past weekend has returned some epic results for American sports cars. Already, a one-off Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X sold for $2.6 million—far beyond the base price of $218,100. But Ford also saw a major result for the first-ever example of the new Mustang Dark Horse SC. Revealed earlier this month as the hottest non-GTD Mustang, this supercharged muscle car is expected to cost in the six-figure range, but the first production model sold for a lot more than

The next-generation G84 BMW M3 has been spied by our photographers again, this time in greater detail than previous sightings. Although this prototype is still wearing plenty of fake body cladding to disguise the true form of the production design, it's clear that the M3 will continue to be aggressive despite the more restrained approach of the Neue Klasse design. The front wheel arches of this prototype, heralding the first-ever hybrid incarnation of the M3, are particularly muscular, hinting a

Trump Trade War Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Donald Trump spent much of the past decade warning he was ready to set off a global trade war, insisting it would, among other things, help rebuild American manufacturing. When he finally pulled the trigger, the auto industry found itself at ground zero. How things will shake out remains uncertain, trade talks with key trade pa

One of the claims automakers continually made as they began launching electric vehicles and hybrids was that, as these vehicles aged, they would be capable of adopting the latest technologies through over-the-air (OTA) updates, and one of the brands making the most noise in this department was Volvo. As it turns out, the Swedes are sticking to their promise, reports Autocar, with the company preparing to give cars from 2020 and later "one of the biggest over-the-air updates in the history of the

Shannon Campbell is back at it after King of the Hammers in California, and despite breaking some stuff during the Race of Kings, he’s ready to get back at it with some new projects at the shop. First off is this Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser project that is getting a custom chassis. Video Description: We’re back in the shop and easing into our normal routine!

Shannon is back at the fab work on the FJ40, with the rear bumper continuing to take shape in preparation for fender flares.

The Storm System Shifts East The severe weather system that battered the Central Plains on Friday is now pushing eastward, bringing a fresh wave of hazards for Saturday morning commuters and weekend travelers. As the cold front sweeps across the country, the primary threat zone for intense thunderstorms is moving directly into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, extending down into the Deep South. This system is packing a significant amount of moisture and energy, setting the stage for a highly disr

Flood Warnings are active across Mississippi and Alabama today, Thursday, May 7, 2026, after a slow-moving cold front delivered 3 to 5 inches of rain overnight from East Central Louisiana into West-Central Alabama. The Weather Prediction Center flagged the corridor with a Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall through 7 AM CDT, and NWS Jackson and NWS Mobile have followed with active river Flood Warnings on Tallahala Creek and the Chickasawhay.

Charging EVs on the Move As the current decade unfolds, more and more solutions are being introduced to help eliminate what's known as “range anxiety” in electric vehicles. Over in Florida, the state is constructing a new expressway built with an integrated charging capability, allowing EVs to receive power without needing to stop and plug in. WFTV Channel 9 was granted early access to the construction site and shared the latest developments. The expressway, which will connect Orange and Lake co

The media is full of doom and gloom these days seemingly more than ever before, but that doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of inspiring stories. They do exist, but they’re usually buried under the torrents of bad news. A good example is the story involving a man from Fort Myers, Florida, who had lost his only way to get to work in December after police confiscated his car, deeming it unsafe to drive. No wonder police spotted him, as he was driving his 1999 Honda Civic without a windshield and fron

You know you’re in for something really crazy when internet legends ‘Florida Man’ and ‘Mustang Driver’ collide, all the more so if they are one and the same person. That was the case on Wednesday in Daytona Beach, Florida, when 58-year-old Brian J. Parker crashed his seventh-gen Ford Mustang GT at high speed through a locked and secured gate of the local airport. Suspect Admitted to Alcohol and Drug Use Before Chaotic Incident He then drove his blue Mustang across an active runway, nearly hitti

When EVs Meet Water Electric vehicles (EVs) and water tend to spark dramatic headlines, but the truth is they aren't natural enemies. Modern EVs are engineered with sealed battery packs and weatherproof high-voltage components, often proven in everything from storm floods to deep-water wading tests. For the most part, EVs aren't fragile electronics waiting to short out. That reputation didn't hold up for one Hyundai Ioniq 5 owner in Florida. According to a WFTV report, a simple 20-ounce bottle o

There were a ton of awesome cars and trucks at the 21st running of the Street Car Super Nationals in Las Vegas this year and I was in love with several of them. I can’t get enough of the awesome rides on hand each year and it is one of the reasons I love this event so much. The variety is great. But one of the cars that really stood out for me, and probably flew under the radar for many because of its sedate looks, was this killer Chevrolet Nova that had the look of steelies and center caps whil

A lawsuit against Ford, relating to allegations of widespread 'death wobble' incidents on the 2005-2007 F-250 and 2017-2019 F-350 Super Duty trucks, is going back to a district court after it went to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and it seems that plaintiffs may be on the back foot. The seven-year-old lawsuit has changed several times over the years since it began, with the current iteration including only the abovementioned vehicles purchased from dealerships in the states of
