Dear Toyota Motor Company, There really isn't too much to say about the Scion tC. I personally liked it because it was the spiritual successor to the Celica, which right now I'm trying to revive a 86 Celica GTS. It offered a fun ride for not only the Scion brand but the Toyota company as... Continue Reading →
2017 Toyota 86: The Short Throw
Tell me something. What sense did it make, to produce the FR-S as a Scion? Maybe it is just me, but Scion was never the automaker that Toyota intended it to be. I mean, an automaker that was geared towards a younger generation, was more popular with people in their mid 30's. So the FR-S... Continue Reading →
NAIAS 2016: Honda Ridgeline
Admittance is the first step to...? Ok so maybe using that line had no point, but guess who's back? When Honda first gave us their unibody truck, it was met with mixed reviews.

2016 Subaru Impreza WRX STi S207: The Short Throw
Why is it, the Japanese get all of the cool JDM muscle? It's saddening, of the 400 Impreza WRX STi S207s being built, with 100 of those NBR Challenge Package Yellow Editions, none are seeing U.S. shores.

Don't worry here's a list of a few since the turn of the millennium. 1. Ford Excursion Sadly enough, I actually like the Excursion. It's closest... Continue Reading →
