Dodge Fast Tracks Gas-Powered Charger Production Because Of Demand
Dodge apparently knows not many folks are terribly excited about its upcoming electric Charger coupe and sedan, so it’s reportedly pushing up the release date of the gas-powered Charger Sixpack by five months. It was originally slated to debut in late 2025, but it’s now looking like they’ll be hitting the dealers in early Summer. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More

Japan is looking to up its world-leading mass transit game with a “conveyor belt road” meant to be a 320-mile automated cargo transport corridor that will link Tokyo and Osaka.

MrBeast Destroys A Lamborghini With At Least $100,000 Worth Of Duct Tape For A 12-Second Video
Another day, another bucketload of incomprehensible bright-colored video slop for Gen Alpha to rot their brains with on YouTube. MrBeast, the near-billionaire wunderkind with dead eyes famous for locking broke people in solitary confinement in exchange for money, has destroyed a perfectly fine Lamborghini Gallardo with duct tape for the fun of it. In the 12-second video a presumably underpaid stunt driver risks life and limb smashing into increasingly more duct tape until the bright blue Italian sports machine is no longer a functional car. Jimmy Donaldson wasn’t even there for the stunt, he was clearly added in to the video after the fact. Wow, so cool! - Bradley Brownell Read More

2026 Honda Passport Revealed As Honda’s Most Capable Off-Roader Yet And Its Best Design In Years
Back in the 1990s before coming out with its own crossover, the CR-V, Honda offered the first-generation Passport, a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo that was a legit body-on-frame SUV. Since then, the Japanese brand has mainly stuck to crossover-y models that aren’t focused on off-roading, but that’s changing with the fourth-generation Passport. Described as Honda’s most off-road capable SUV ever, the 2026 Passport looks phenomenal and offers features that adventurous types really want, especially in rugged TrailSport trim. - Daniel Golson Read More
Consumer Reports Trashes VinFast VF8 In First Review
When we first drove the VinFast VF8, we weren’t impressed. Our headline said it was “simply not ready for America,” and the criticism only got worse from there. VinFast clearly rushed the development process and didn’t have a remotely competitive product to offer. Supposedly, the Vietnamese automaker planned to improve the VF8 over time, so it should be better now than it was initially. Based on Consumer Reports’ recent experience, however, the VinFast VF8 is still half-baked, uncompetitive and also maybe worth leasing if you’re into that sort of thing. - Collin Woodard Read More
New Big U-Haul Car Trailer Just Dropped
I absolutely love renting trailers from U-Haul to transport my garbage vehicles around the country. Trailer rentals are significantly less expensive than buying, insuring and registering your own trailer with minimal downsides. The Auto Transport has long been a favorite of mine, and the company’s motorcycle trailer is even better. There are just so many great and simple features to these trailers, including fold down fenders, integrated ramps, and front tire straps. Unfortunately, sometimes, they fall just a little short of what average American users need them for. That’s where the new Heavy Duty version comes in. - Bradley Brownell Read More
Fake Cop Gets Caught Pretending To Be A Cop In Front Of A Real Cop
Impersonating a cop is a big no no. One man in Florida found this out the hard way after he flashed the fake police lights in his unmarked Dodge Charger at an intersection in order to run a light. - Lawrence Hodge Read More
