I'm not a big Jag fan mind you but another company moving away from ICE all together is interesting. I believe Audi cancelled the R8 in favor of an EV version and the next Dodge Charger Hellcat supposedly will be an EV as well.

My wife's EV is pretty nice, but so far every EV I've driven has been discovered from the road. Like a moving couch instead of a driving experience. Hopefully we'll get some real enthusiast grade sports cards out of this.

What do y'all think?

222 HP per liter in this beast. For comparison the C8 ZR1 is about 194 HP per liter.

I might actually drive a left hand drive version of this as a daily. Maybe the A110S or GT instead?

I watched Family Feud with my grandma all the time as a kid. This brought back some memories.

Come for the Ferrari, stay for the Hoonigan interview. Another channel I love that hasn't been quite the same since Ken Blocked passed, RIP.

When I got my C7 I considered this instead, I still think the C6 is the most "Corvette" looking of the era which is a good thing particularly if you upgrade the exterior lights.

More about film making than cars strictly but, I thought people here would still appreciate it. Has anyone seen this movie?

Hi guys, I recently took a trip to Italy to see my friend who purchased a 1997 Mercedes about a year ago, which is extremely comfortable and pretty reliable - he swears by it. We got into a chat about advantages, reliability and comfort of the older over newer cars and he got me kinda excited to get into classic motoring. I currently have a 2017 Honda Civic for which I pay a pretty penny every month (its a lease) and my contract runs out in two years. I started looking around for a classic alternative I could maybe get outright cash in hand or with a little help from a financing company. I see a lot of Jaguars XF and X-Type on the streets of UK, I looked them up on autotrader and they can go for anything from about 2k to 10k depending on the milage etc. - still about 5k less than price sticker of my Civic. So here is the question - is it worth looking into? What models/makes I could look into? What should I be aware of? Any tips? Tricks? I’m looking to expand my family in the coming years so a 3 doors sports car are out of the question :) Thanks

Been watching Roadkill’s Junkyard Gold with Steve Magnante and came across this in an episode. Thought it was cool as the guy said he earned more from charging admission than selling parts.

If I won the lottery I wouldn't tell anybody, but there would be signs.

The left door handle has been cracked ever since I got the car so this was coming sooner or later. A year of daily use ain't bad. Still, it came as a shock when, last Wednesday, I grabbed the handle, and the door didn't come open. I'm a big dude (tall and fat), and there wasn't room on the other wall to climb in through the passenger side. Somehow, I passed the acrobatics check it took to climb through the trunk and into the front seat. And I didn't hurt my back at 32 years old. Truly a feat to behold.

I've already bought a handle, but it won't be in til Thursday. I could run around with it like this for a week, but I'm not gonna.

Which means I'll be driving my wife's cargo ship for a few days.
