New AI Assistant in Town It comes as no surprise that Google Maps remains the go-to navigation app for many users, including those on Apple devices. The app is widely viewed as the more capable option thanks to its data-rich navigation experience, though Apple Maps has made significant improvements in recent years. That said, Apple users may welcome a code leak from MacRumors suggesting that Google Gemini could soon be integrated into Google Maps for Apple CarPlay. Gemini is an AI-powered conver

While ARP’s engineering team is constantly developing fastener kits for late model engines like the Chevy LS/LT, Ford Coyote and Chrysler Gen III Hemi plus related aftermarket block/cylinder head combinations, they also step back in time to meet the needs of enthusiasts. Such is the case of ARP’s new head stud kit #151-4002 for 1927-31 Ford 201 c.i.d. Model A 4-cylinder engines. The kit includes 8740 chrome moly studs, parallel ground washers, and forged, hardened, CNC machined and polished stai

Unless you recently bought a new air compessor, you are probably like most of us and own at least one that is old. It might still work perfectly fine, but unless you have a super fancy setup you probably don’t have some of the higher end features like a dryer, muffler, and more. And it is all DIY so you can do the same thing on your own compressor at home. And to be fair, you don’t need an old compressor for these mods either. If you have a newer compressor that just doesn’t have these features,

Diesel’s Place in Today’s Market While diesel-powered passenger vehicles are increasingly limited in the U.S., they remain vital, especially for those in the agriculture industry, thanks to their superior low-end torque, which improves payload and towing capacities. One long-standing issue, however, is the mandated Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system, which helps reduce emissions but has cost owners in repairs and, for workhorse applications, lost productivity. Now, the U.S. Environmental Protecti

(Photos by Chad Reynolds) America’s Most Beautiful Roadster is a title given to just one roadster per year and is considered one of the two highest hot rod award honors in the world. Given out at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona California, an event that originally started up north in Oakland, there are a select few cars that each year enter to be considered for the AMBR award. It’s like an Oscar, only harder to win and there aren’t different ones for different classes. There is just o

Last week, the all-new C8 Corvette Grand Sport and Grand Sport X were launched with a new 6.7-liter V8 engine, and although Chevy didn't say so at the time, these new Corvettes are the beginning of the end for the C8 story. As noted by Motor1, a discussion with Corvette Chief Engineer Josh Holder on The Gas podcast confirmed that no more C8 models are planned, and as with previous Corvette generations, the return of the Grand Sport nameplate effectively marks the final chapter in the story for t

The Journey... Recently, Great Wall Motors (GWM) announced its plans to expand more in Europe with seven new hybrid models. The brand is betting on plug-in hybrid and electric cars, which it will be launching over the next two years across the Atlantic. The brand's lineup consists of crossovers and off-roaders, all of which are big, filled with tech, and electrified. Based on its lineup in China and the rest of the world, the brand has a wide range of compact crossovers and off-road SUVs. Some

Growing up in the 1970’s and 1980’s means I’ve seen some products offered for sale that would never be allowed as a new product sold today. Lawn Darts are the ones that everyone always wants to talk about, but the truth is that there were tons of other toys, go karts, bikes, trikes, and more that would never make it past the product liability folks in corporate America now. This also applies to ATVs and off-road toys. Remember ATCs? These three wheeled machines were huge, but ultimately were dee

GT-R Godfather: As Nissan Faces Financial Pressure, e-Power Is Still About Driving Feel Nissan enters its next technology cycle under financial strain, amid cost cuts, restructuring, and uneven global performance. Still, as e-Power readies for the U.S., the company is positioning it as more than a survival move. Speaking at the 2026 Philippine Nissan Festival, Hiroshi Tamura, longtime chief product specialist of the Nissan GT-R R35, said e-Power was engineered around the same principle that def

Hands-free driving tech that allows cars to travel on highways with minimal driver input is becoming an ever more common feature in new models, despite ongoing concerns around the safety of such systems, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Systems like Tesla’s Autopilot, GM’s Super Cruise and Ford’s BlueCruise are now an accepted feature of plenty of new cars, in spite of a spate of sometimes-fatal crashes and misunderstandings around the tech cited by the WSJ.

Man, what a year 2025 has turned into! It’s Thanksgiving Day, where food, drink, family and fun take center stage. And while many of you will be frying, roasting, or smoking a big bird, and watching football, we can’t forget that this day is all about giving thanks.

While mainstream automakers like Toyota and Nissan often feature in recall reports, whether for unusable seats in the Sienna minivan or battery fire risks in the all-electric Leaf, issues like these are not limited to cars. Motorcycle brands face similar challenges, and that now includes Harley-Davidson. The American manufacturer is recalling more than 88,000 motorcycles in the United States due to a defect that could pose a serious risk to riders. Breather Port Defect Explained

Finnegan’s Rubber Ducky, the cool yellow 1967 Pontiac Firebird that he picked up a few years ago, has been a fun ride that has taken him on Drag and Drive events, done great Christmas tree videos, and more. It’s powered by a big block, and they’ve done tons of work to the car over the years to make it quicker and quicker. But they’ve done little to the engine in comparison to the rest of the car. So what is in store for the Rubber Ducky now? In the video below, Peter Harrell, owner and head engi

Hyperscreens Are Here to Stay For those hoping that Mercedes-Benz would dial down the Hyperscreen over time, we have bad news for you. The German automaker is sticking to its guns when it comes to that matter, so don't expect simplified interiors from the brand any time soon, or ever. Autocar recently spoke to Mathias Geisen, Mercedes-Benz's head of sales and marketing, regarding the matter. If anything, it's set to double down on the whole thing, and we wouldn't be too surprised if we end up wi

In Part 3 of the series, this beast went for its first test drive. Now it’s actually being put through its paces! Here’s the Part 4 video in the series, and that means actual testing! Yes, this thing is going down the road in this one with the body on it, and showing what it is made of on track as well. I love donor vehicle builds like this one. What I mean by that is when you buy a car, or parts from the wrecking yard, to build something new and exciting in a way it never was before. My 1956 Ch

I can’t remember the last time I was in a Harbor Freight and didn’t look at the gantry cranes longingly. Sure, I cherry picker is a great thing that we all need in the shop, but man these gantrys sure look like they would be handy, especially when pulling bodies or beds or what have you. And I own a forklift! I can lift just about anything, but I think one of these could be pretty handy, especially if you put an electric hoist on it too. At any rate, when I found this video showing one of them b

When I lived in Southern California, we used Victor’s Radiator Service, an awesome radiator shop that we used all the time to clean and reseal radiators. They also cleaned and resealed heater cores and gas tanks and were a great resource that charged very fair prices. When I moved to Dallas it was a real pain to find someone with the same services, and when asking around I heard lots of folks complain about what it cost to have a radiator repaired. I often think that one of the reasons that peop

Keeping The Tradition Alive Every automotive manufacturer aims for true brand loyalty: a repeat customer, and even better, the whole family across generations staying with one brand. That type of legacy buyer is tough to have nowadays, with an ever-growing list of new car brands and a widening variety of preferences. Which is why when stories come along of true loyalists, we can't help but be in awe. Just like a family from Canada who've spent most of their lives as Ford people.
