Scaling back electric vehicle investments amid the EV sales slump does not come cheap for automakers. That’s actually putting it mildly as companies are in fact taking a massive financial burden, having been forced to reduce, delay or cancel many EV projects. As the auto industry pivots from earlier EV growth plans to slowing demand in key markets and unfavorable political climate, global automakers have recorded billions of dollars in losses—a total or around $55 billion, according to Reuters.

Over 30 million residents who live along the I-95 corridor should prepare for near-zero visibility, grounded flights, and white-out highways due to a blizzard warning issued today by the National Weather Service for all of New York City and Long Island, the entire coast of New Jersey, and the entire coast of Connecticut.  The NWS has stated that residents may experience life-threatening conditions while traveling during this time. Residents can expect 1-3 inches of snow an hour throughout the du

If you're planning on driving anywhere in northern Michigan, the Midwest, or the Pacific Northwest over the next few days, read this before getting behind the wheel. A serious early-March storm system is spreading across the country, and it's the kind that catches drivers off guard with conditions changing faster than most people expect. The system is bringing a mix of heavy snow, freezing rain, severe thunderstorms, and flash flooding across several regions, all of which can create dangerous dr

Winter’s Wild Flip Is Catching Drivers Off Guard Winter's weather map has completely flipped for American roadways, and State Highway Departments and motorists alike are now caught off guard. Areas that typically see inches of snow are now digging themselves out of feet of snow, while typical winter zone areas are bare. As a result, there are thousands of stranded motorists, hundreds of accidents, and hazardous travel conditions that local infrastructure is unable to keep up with. States in the

California's February 2026 Atmospheric River Paralyzes the Golden State The Golden State is known for its legendary driving roads, from the sun-drenched curves of the Pacific Coast Highway to the sweeping mountain passes of the Sierra Nevada. But this week, California's automotive playground has been shut down completely. A historic atmospheric river is currently battering the West Coast, delivering a one-two punch of catastrophic rain at sea level and up to 16 feet of snow in the high country.

The National Weather Service has issued a series of urgent winter storm warnings across five states today as a severe system brings heavy snow, high winds, and dangerous wind chills to the roadways. Travelers in Colorado, Alaska, Wyoming, New York, and Utah should exercise extreme caution or delay travel as conditions are expected to deteriorate rapidly throughout Thursday. According to the NWS, the system is delivering a combination of heavy accumulation and blowing snow that could create white

Mountain passes buried under massive snowfall A relentless winter storm is actively punishing the Pacific Northwest, bringing life-threatening conditions to the Washington Cascades starting Tuesday, March 10. The National Weather Service has issued comprehensive winter storm warnings for elevations above 3500 feet, in effect through Friday, March 13. Early accumulations are hovering around 8 to 14 inches, but meteorologists warn that persistent bands of moisture could push totals to a staggering

We shared Part 1 of the Cornfield Customs Fender building series where wood was being prepared and cut for the buck that these fenders will be shaped to fit, and now we’ve got Part 2 where those bucks are designed and finished. You are going to want to check out Part 1, so make sure you use the link below if you missed it! Shaping metal doesn’t always start with metal. In fact, it rarely does.

Shaping metal doesn’t always start with metal. In fact, it rarely does. In fact many metal shaping projects start with wood or paper, as templates, bucks, and forms are required for many metal shaping projects. In this new video series from Cornfield Customs, you’ll see what goes into building a set of custom fenders. These happen to be the fenders for a set of Indy Car transport trailer fenders, but the process is the same regardless and starts with building a buck. Watch the video below and l

Koenigsegg headlines have been everywhere lately. The Hamilton Collection’s ongoing issues with their Jesko have dominated hypercar conversations, and now real estate mogul Manny Khoshbin has added another twist to the narrative. Instead of taking delivery of his Jesko and switching to another brand, Manny has confirmed that he's switching from the standard to Jesko to its track-ready version, the Sadair’s Spear. The timing is interesting, though Manny never mentions The Hamilton Collection’s fr

Mansory Doing Mansory Things To say that Mansory creations are polarizing is an understatement. Some see the German tuner’s work as the height of exclusivity, while others wonder how a standard car ended up looking like it was designed with no restrictions in mind. Every so often, Mansory shows a bit of restraint – like with its recent Porsche 911 Turbo S softkit, which was unexpectedly subtle. Most of the time, though, the company goes all-in on visual drama, and the new Mansory Azura is a clea

The Notoriety Continues In the world of luxury and performance tuning, Mansory stands out as one of the outliers. Mansory, as a customization and bespoke tuner, has always stood by its outlandish and in-your-face creations despite the flood of some negative feedback from the public. The thing is, it seems Mansory's philosophy works; it continues to not only create out-of-this-world builds, but is even able to expand and reach higher tiers of the automotive world. Case in point: this Koenigsegg J

Pushing the Revuelto Further Into Visual Extremes The Mansory Initiate once again proves that subtlety has no place in the tuner’s vocabulary. Based on the Lamborghini Revuelto, the Initiate layers an aggressive carbon-fiber body treatment over an already dramatic hybrid supercar. A redesigned hood, exaggerated front splitter, sculpted side skirts, and an oversized rear wing dominate the exterior, ensuring the Initiate is impossible to mistake for a factory build. This approach feels familiar, e

Mansory’s Rare Moment of Restraint Few names in the tuning world divide opinion as much as Mansory. The German tuner is known for skipping subtlety in favor of exposed carbon fiber, bold colors, and big power numbers. Sometimes the result works, but more often, it misses the mark. Once in a while, Mansory comes up with something that feels almost restrained – at least by its own standards. This Audi RS6 Avant is a good example. It is still bold and heavily modified, but it avoids going over the

New Market Luxury Chinese automakers have been expanding and developing rapidly. The industry's scale and the sheer amount of support their automotive industry receives allow them to continue producing cars. In a relatively short time, the quality and capabilities of Chinese-made cars have improved, and they're expanding into new areas. These companies tout new energy-focused products, whether EVs or PHEVs, but some brands are now positioning luxury as a selling point. Infamous custom builder Ma

I grew up in a stick shift drag racing family, so anything with a clutch pedal is near and dear to my heart. There is something about a stick shift car that just makes it more fun to drive, and even something like my Civic EG Hatch is a good time with a clutch pedal. But unlike an NHRA Pro Stocker, or any other car using a verticle gate shifter, the cars in the video below are all running H Pattern shifters which means there is some skill involved in shifting these things. Most of the folks rac

Everyone Moved On Except Manual Buyers Today’s car market looks vastly different from decades ago, shaped by the rise of electrified vehicles and the steady decline of manual gearboxes. Interestingly, however, a report fromMotor1shows that some automakers still saw a notable share of U.S. buyers favoring stick shifts over automatics last year. Sales of the Acura Integra equipped with a manual transmission rose from 19.8 percent in 2024 to 22 percent last year. Similarly, the ultra-limited Pagani

Wow what a score this one will be for someone. With less than 70,000 miles on the odometer, and interior and paint that look near mint, this big block 2500 Suburban will make a great family cruiser and tow rig for someone not afraid of today’s gas prices. It’s got a Big Block, TH400, and 3.73 geared 14 bolt, can tow 10,000 lbs and seats 9 people. That means you can load the boat, and all your family, and head out to the lake for a fun day on the water. And while $23k isn’t cheap, and I’m sure th

I love new drag and drive builds, and because I’m going to Sweden this year for Street Week I am really excited that this new drag and drive build is being built at Auto Cut in Stockholm by Martin Lundqvist Racing Fabrication. This is going to be something special. Because they are in Sweden, they aren’t talking much in these videos and what they are say you probably won’t understand. We would crank up the Closed Captioning for the subtitles, but that wasn’t an option. We’re sharing the first tw

Maryland’s Historic Plate Shake-Up Hits Early-2000s Cars Maryland’s long-running historic license plate program is facing a reckoning, and plenty of car owners are feeling the sting. As we previously reported, state lawmakers signaled their intent to crack down on misuse of vintage and historic tags as part of a broader package of new traffic laws. Now, Maryland has enacted a House Bill that puts real teeth behind that bark, freezing historic plate eligibility at model year 1999 and older. The

Maserati Fuoriserie's Latest Creation Style, performance, and uniqueness are the very core of the Maserati brand. It has always embraced its heritage of racing and automotive passion, but has since blended in the very unique Italian flair. Fuoriserie, the Italian word for custom-built, is an arm of Maserati that deals in the idea of individuality through impeccable bespoke builds commissioned by very discerning individuals. Notable models to come out are the MC20 Notte, MC20 Opera d'Arte, and t

Maserati is in trouble, but according to new spy shots, it's not taking drastic action to try initiate a turnaround, at least not when it comes to the styling of the GranTurismo luxury coupe and its drop-top GranCabrio sibling. The spy shots captured during winter testing in the cold of northern Europe show that the GTs will soldier on for at least another model year with a minor facelift, gaining updates to the front and rear bumpers. Although it's possible that the headlights could get new gra

Historical Significance Brands with as rich a history as Maserati have produced some truly iconic race cars and sports cars over the many decades. In modern times, Maserati has acknowledged these iconic cars by introducing the Maserati Classiche heritage department. Not just a restorer or preserver of Maserati classics, Classiche is also there to certify some of the forgotten icons that are slowly making their way back to the limelight. One very rare model has just been certified, joining an exc

Six Cylinders Are Cool Again With emissions regulations beginning to ease in certain markets, some automakers are reversing course and returning to larger-displacement engines. Mercedes-Benz, for example, is reportedly preparing to drop the much-criticized inline-four hybrid setup used in the C63 in favor of a more traditional inline-six. Maserati now appears to be following a similar path, having discontinued its turbocharged four-cylinder engine in favor of a V6 for the 2026 Grecale. The V6 in
