Toyota just added a fourth Land Cruiser, and it is the smallest one yet. The FJ slots in under the 250, 300 and 70 Series, and it might be the most interesting of the lot.A Smaller Land Cruiser, On PurposeThe FJ went on sale in Japan on May 14. It is built on a shortened ladder-f

Sleeping in my car, going broke, and burying the dream twice. The honest story of how Drivesome started, died, and finally came back to life.

Early 2000s Sydney, peak sex spec. Wild paint, white leather, disco balls swinging off the mirror. Cars built for one reason and one reason only: to be looked at. First and only time I went to a meet at La Perouse, a glittery pink VL with a full white interior rolled through. Eve

I cannot afford the Type 01. That is not the point. Even if I could, I would not buy it. That is the point. My love for Jaguar is gone and the rebrand killed it. Not the reliability issues. Not the price tag. Not even the Type 00, I thought it looked pretty cool. The moment they

The Cars That Made Me Question Everything Something has shifted in the last twelve months and I am not sure how to feel about it. The Ferrari Luce. The Audi Nuvolar. The Jaguar Type 00 and Type 01. The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe. The Cybertruck. The Kia Tasman. These are not fr

Nice Car. Wrong Badge. What a great looking electric car. Clean lines, strong presence, real confidence. If this rolled out of a Dodge event or a BYD launch, we would be saying all the right things. But this is Ferrari. And that changes everything. This is the Ferrari Luce. A fiv

My dad drove a Series 1 XJ6 my entire childhood. Not as a show car. As a daily, worked on with his own hands, in the driveway every weekend. That car was the classroom and he was the teacher. I learned how engines breathe, how to listen for a fault before it becomes a failure, an

Not fast, not slow, not pretty, not broken. Six years with a Kia Cerato YD, the car that asks nothing of you and gives nothing back, and just keeps going.
