It's been decades since the name BSA Thunderbolt last made the rounds in the moto industry, so chances are few of the riders alive today can say they've actually experienced one themselves. Made from 1962 to 1972 by what was once the Birmingham Small Arms Company as an off-road tourer, the name is now making a comeback in the form of an adventure bike. The news of that happening broke during the Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo ... (continue reading...)

As a fun fact, Phoenix, Arizona-based Westcott Designs is not exclusively biased toward TMNA's (Toyota Motor North America) SUVs and trucks, but it's also true that a significant portion of its social media influence stems from this narrow focus, with a few notable exceptions. Typically, Westcott is the custom playground for Toyota Lan... (continue reading...)

Kia America decided to steal the red carpet's spotlight way ahead of the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show and officially premiered the 2027 Kia Telluride way ahead of the global public introduction in California.

As far as Stellantis is concerned, they have begun rectifying their past mistakes over the past few years. However, the light at the end of the tunnel is still pretty far away, at least as far as Chrysler and Dodge are concerned.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella feels Max Verstappen and Red Bull had the pace to win last Sunday's Sao Paulo Grand Prix if it weren't for the Dutchman's qualifying result.

With little to lose, Red Bull took (continue reading...)

The current Honda Pilot is about to be replaced, not by a brand-new generation, as it’s not even three years old yet, but by a facelifted iteration that is currently in the making and should hit U.S. dealers for the 2027 model year.

The eighties were a transitional period for Detroit. America was still licking its wounds after the Malaise malady, but beneath the polyester and the power ballads, something was stirring. Engineers had started whispering again about compression ratios, torque curves, and redlines. In 1985, Chevrolet answered those whispers with a machine that swaggered out of the factory with stripes on its sleeves—the Camaro IROC-Z. It was bu... (continue reading...)

What happens when you give a Silverado 1500 pickup to Specialty Vehicle Engineering? For starters, the New Jersey-based outfit converts the light-duty workhorse to a single cab.

In some bizarre Francofied parallel universe, Walter White throws the French equivalent of a pizza onto the roof of his house in a small Parisian suburb.

Both came and went in a flash, and looked questionable while doing so. But Americans never got their hands on the Avantime. Now, th... (continue reading...)

Expected to debut for the 2027 model year in light-duty pickup trucks and the C8-generation Corvette, said engine family could initially come in two flavors, beginning with a 5.7-liter V8 tuned for efficiency rather than sheer performance. Said lump allegedly replaced the 5.3-liter V8 from the fifth generation of the small-block engine family. L84 is the regular produc... (continue reading...)

The Impala name first shimmered into Chevrolet’s lineup in 1958 — a chrome-plated shooting star that promised to make family sedans glamorous. It started as the top-tier Bel Air trim, but by 1959, it had evolved into its own series, and by 1965 it was outselling the entire Ford lineup. Through the sixties, the Impala became America’s comfort chariot, blending full-size luxury with attainable performance. The ... (continue reading...)

I'm often against Hot Wheels auctions. That's especially true when someone is trying to sell brand-new Mainline models. At the very least, have the decency to wait six months before acting on it. There was this one guy in a collector group who wasn't like that. He was selling some stuff that most people probably don't care about. But about three years ago, I wrote a story about Larry Wood's GMC Motorhome casting. ... (continue reading...)

There is ongoing debate about when the muscle car era ended, but we know for a fact that it was already over by the time Dodge introduced the Li'l Red Express pickup truck in 1978.
