The racing scene just lost another small-town track. North Carolina’s New River All American Speedway announced it has closed its doors. “Over the last several weeks and months, we’ve had many discussions about the future of New River. Yesterday, we made the tough decision to close the doors,” the track said on its Facebook page.

The $17,190 base-model Nissan Versa S, the last U.S.-market production car with a five-speed manual, is ending production. According to Automotive News, the manual Versa is the latest automotive tariff victim, as all Versas are built at Nissan’s Aguascalientes, Mexico, plant and the base car is least popular. Looks like Nissan is trying to create

Truck owner and operator Alan Kitzhaber has a 1995 Kenworth T600 with more than four million miles on it. Of course, it wasn’t always easy. Kitzhaber has regularly repaired his truck over its 30-year life and made a host of modifications, not only to keep it running but also to prevent previous problems from recurring.

This might be the quickest known Nissan Z in America with most of its stock engine still intact. AMS Performance just finished building an RZ34 Nissan Z that retains its factory block, head, and internals while making a monstrous 820 wheel horsepower from only bolt-on upgrades. With that much power, the modded Z was able

A couple of years back, General Motors announced that it was investing about half a billion dollars into its Flint engine plant to support production of its next-generation small-block V8. This week, the company confirmed that it is on track to begin producing new engines in 2027, with an additional investment announced in the company’s

It’s fascinating how today’s algorithms can dredge up something from the depths of the internet and serve it up to vast swaths of people. If not for that phenomenon, this video of a clever “disappearing car door” system built by a defunct company called Jatech would’ve assuredly faded away ages ago. There’s precious little information

The upshots of self-driving cars for consumers are obvious: safety and convenience. Benefits for corporations aren’t hard to figure out, either. Being able to study and influence travel behavior will be great for business, and hey, here’s a new captive audience for content and ads. So is every car trip going to become a brainrot

I’ve long argued that if you want a proper BMW M car, you have to get a special one, like one of its recent string of “CS” cars. The F87-generation BMW M2 didn’t feel quite as good as the 1M it replaced until the M2 CS came along. The F90-generation M5 felt big and numb

Chevy V8 failures have been a topic of significant discussion lately. Earlier this year, we highlighted a video documenting the teardown of a junked 6.2-liter GM L87 V8 that was removed from a new Cadillac Escalade with single-digit mileage. Sure, a low-mileage engine that has failed suddenly usually makes for an interesting visual, but in

The Cadillac Escalade IQ is big in every sense of the word, from its wheels (24 inches, standard), to its length (224 inches, or 228 inches for the even bigger Escalade IQL), to its power (up to 750 horsepower). Many large vehicles use microphones up front to boost the driver’s voice through speakers at the
