Maybe there IS such a thing as "too much traction."

Ever had a patch in a parking lot melt to your tire? Well, we have, and let me tell you, it absolutely sucks.

"I Discovered The World’s Longest Manual Transmission Shifter," says David Tracy, and the exaggeration level is ZERO.

"I Discovered The World’s Longest Manual Transmission Shifter," says David Tracy, and the exaggeration level is ZERO.

Last month I went on a cruise with my girlfriend’s family when, during a bus tour through Mazatlán I spotted it: The Moby Dick of shifters. An absolutely gargantuan, 2-3 foot mammoth of a stickshift with a boot that looked like a golf bag. Rather than pay any attention to the gorgeous city I was ...

What’s The Deal With Canada’s Confusing Blinking Green Lights? 🤔 We'll tell you!

Once upon a time, traffic lights were green and red. Then we threw in amber to give drivers a little time to react, and we called it good. Except, British Columbia couldn’t stop there. It wanted to mix things up! So it introduced the flashing green. Don’t confuse this with the common flashing am...

Elon Musk Sounds Bummed Tesla Still Has To Make Cars

Tesla did its quarterly investor/analyst call last night after releasing its mixed financials. The interesting news is that the company will release a more affordable vehicle in the first half of next year. The bad news, if you think of Tesla as a car company, is that CEO Elon Musk is sticking to hi...

SHOWDOWN! I want the MR2, but *that door* 😬 So it's the Mazda for me. Vote!

Welcome back! Today we’re taking a look at a couple of small sporty numbers that both run and drive, but neither one is quite ready for prime time. And both could benefit greatly from more sympathetic owners, it sounds like. But first, let’s finish up with yesterday’s off-roaders. It was a clo...

Ah yes, style icon David Tracy 🔥 David (And The Autopian) Were Quoted In The New York Times Style Section

Here’s something fun. The venerable New York Times has a “Style” section that it puts out every week, featuring everything from advice about Tinder dating to trying to explain the KHive/CharliXCX to your grandma. In between all of that, they did an article on the Tesla Cybertruck and included ...

TOTALLY the right step at the right time you guys 😬 Dope watch though! With David Tracy

I truly believe that not enough is being done to preserve automotive history. Yes, there are great vehicle collections out there, but there aren’t nearly enough museums about car culture itself, filled not just with vehicles, but with amazing documents and sketches and prototype parts and on and o...

Welp, Time to memorize some new headlights

For over a decade, Dodge Charger headlights in one’s rearview mirror have signaled that a law enforcement officer might be back there. Now, that era is about to end as production of the Charger comes to a close. In fact, it might signal the end of American police cars altogether. Today, Tim Kunisk...

What the what?

Normally, navigating through the road network is a straightforward task. If you want to turn onto a street to your left, you go left. To the right, you go right. And yet, in some strange and unique cases, the opposite may be true! Is it a grand scheme to confuse you, or a valid method […]

WOULD CRUISE. What do you think?

The Cadillac Sollei convertible is only a concept car, but it shares so much Celestiq DNA that it ought to see production.

Would a modern BRAT sell? I think it would sell.

Let’s say it’s 1980, and you want to buy a car that takes a different approach from the mainstream brands. Something that shows everyone you think independently. You’re actually rather spoiled for choice of iconoclastic rides during this time; imagine being able to walk into a dealership and p...

SHOWDOWN! I shall have the Elantra. Vote!

Good morning! We’re kicking off another week of questionable used cars with two absolute rocketships. Or, at least, two cars I’ve seen recently being driven like bats out of Hell down the Interstate. On Friday, I gave you a rare “Both” option, and I expected most of you to take it. But appar...

Oh man YIKES

This weekend I needed to pick up an interesting restomod Power Wagon from Wilmington for a review, so I figured I’d take the kid and we’d make a fun day of it. The plan was to take a car there, drop it off, take the Power Wagon back, and then pick up the car later. […]

Here's the thing: David Tracy is a gosh-dang *engineer.* Cold. Analytical. Unemotional. And he absolutely will not stop until you're *dead* ... wait, no, that's a Terminator. What I'm saying is, the man does not get excited over just anything. But he absolutely WILL freak out over a great stick shift. Like the one in the 2024 Tacoma, for instance.
