The 1997-2006 TJ Wrangler brought Jeep into the future with a better ride, throwback headlights, and more power. After getting put on civilian duty, the Jeep CJ was still a bit too much of an unstoppable off-roading war machine for the average consumer looking to tackle a gravel road on the weekends. With that in mind Jeep scaled back on the tank-like qualities of its flagship truck and in 1986 introduced the world to the more civilized YJ Wrangler (as an ’87 model). Realizing that customers truly enjoyed having a rough-and-tumble four-wheel drive that was a bit more magnanimous than militant, Jeep decided to…
Suri Cruise may not be following in her parents’ footsteps, but she’s doing just fine. In 2012, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes announced that they were getting divorced after five years of marriage. It was a highly publicized split, putting their daughter, Suri Cruise in the middle of it all.

McLarens rank among the fastest production cars on the road today, yet a notorious dark side of reliability and cost hangs close by. In its 2011 production rebirth since the legendary F1, McLaren Automotive have distilled the philosophy of it’s founder through ultimate expressions of limitless performance. For want of slippery machines doubling down on unfavored tech like turbocharging and hybrid power, McLaren exists as the answer to the automotive industry’s neutered performance segment – with an unfortunate cash catch. To be expected, the cost for hyperspace technology isn’t cheap, though the financial woes of the Britain’s most talked about modern supercar manufacturer extends…
These sports cars have so much more than sharp handling and punchy performance to offer – they’re also impressively reliable and durable. It’s a crying shame that most famously reliable cars are also impossibly bland. Think about it, be it a diesel family car or a small 4-cylinder runabout, well-built used cars that last a lifetime are almost always focused towards an average commuter, rather than an avid driver. Fortunately, though, a small number of manufacturers have built exquisitely engineered, driver-focussed sports cars, with reliability and durability baked right in – what’s more, they crammed beloved V8 engines under the hood of everyone…

A masterpiece in design, an iconic howling V12, and a badge that symbolizes British legacy, the DB9 is a still-affordable must-have future classic. The iconic British automaker Aston Martin was once a struggling financial entity, a company that struggled to make ends meet even after relaunching its flagship DB7 as a GT model in the early 2000s. Something needed to be done. After the turn of the millennia, James Bond’s manufacturer of choice decided to risk it all by investing in a new manufacturing plant to design a wholly new replacement for the DB7. And so, in 2003, Aston Martin revealed the…
Mark Towle’s legal battle with Warner Bros changed how things used to function at Gotham Garage for building a Batmobile replica. Replica vehicles are always tricky. If a car-builder makes one that’s terrible, no one really cares. But make ’em close enough to be considered authentic, and you also attract the attention of more than just potential customers. Mark Towle, founder of Gotham Garage, and star of the hit series Car Masters: Rust To Riches, may have made his name transforming $1,000 beaters into beautiful classic cars. But it was building Batmobile replicas that made Towle infamous in the best way possible.…
One special edition to rule them all, with this Dodge Charger Daytona render that uses a modified Charger platform to get us closer to the Superbird. Dodge’s current Charger is in many ways superior to any Charger of the 70s, but what about the Charger Daytona? That was a 1969 homologation car, built for a year, that took the world (and NASCAR) by storm. It made waves not just for its 200-mph ability and impressive wins, but also for how it looked, which was necessary for aerodynamic superiority; cutting through the air and keeping the rear end pinned down. There are…
The Jeep Wrangler is a stellar off-roader. But there is one reason you might want to hold off on buying one, at least for now. The Jeep Wrangler is the one to pick if you are shopping for a no-frills SUV that can tackle some serious off-road terrain. Admittedly, it isn’t as refined to drive on the street as its body-on-frame rivals like the Ford Bronco and Toyota 4Runner. But it makes up for that in its off-the-pavement capability. The 2024 update gives a fresh face to the Wrangler and adds a bunch of goodies inside the cabin. It also expands its 4xe range with…

The Top Gun star has made some big bucks over the decades Over his nearly four decade-long career, Tom Cruise has cemented himself as a byword for star power, in Hollywood and beyond. However, as much attention as he has received for his professional endeavors, he’s gotten even more for his personal ones, especially concerning his high-profile relationships. Amid notable reports of dalliances with the likes of Penelope Cruz and Cher over the years, the Top Gun star has been married three times to well-known Hollywood actresses. In the first decade of his career, Tom met and married Mimi Rogers, who is known for film performances in The Rapture and Austin Powers alongside recurring roles…
Tom Cruise berated a TV show host for an actress’ opinion on drugs at the time. Tom Cruise has become of the last remaining cinematic stalwarts, having cut his teeth in the 1980s with such massive movies as Top Gun, Risky Business and Jerry Maguire. But in 2005, his relationship with Steven Spielberg reportedly started to crumble after the promotional campaign for their movie, The War of the Worlds, fell apart. Cruise appeared on various talk shows to promote the Indiana Jones director’s adaptation of HG Wells’ classic story. However, at the time, Cruise was publicly gushing about his religion, Scientology, as well as…
The new 2024 XM will be BMW’s most powerful M car. However, the ‘unapologetic’ new hybrid SUV will cost a controversial $159,995. The long-anticipated flagship BMW SUV is ready to hit the roads, and it brings a long list of superlatives with it. It is the priciest, heaviest, and most powerful SUV the German automaker has ever made. Being the first pure ‘M’ model since the legendry M1, the 2023 BMW XM is also the most powerful M car ever made. Sounds like a barely street-legal beast, but gearheads will be disappointed by the next pair of superlatives on the list (anecdotal, but with reasons). The…
Speed is one of the biggest draws when it comes to sports cars, but which ones offer the safest driving experience? People have several expectations when it comes to sports cars; power, speed, beauty, and, perhaps most importantly, the driving experience. A sports car needs to excite the driver, it needs to thrill and exhilarate them. To do so, these cars may prioritize performance over comfort. However, sports cars must also keep occupants safe. Over the years, car companies have made great strides to keep their machines safe, from the introduction of seatbelts and airbags to electronic assists, all in the…
There’s a reason the legendary Chevy Impala is a staple at car shows across the country: the Impala appeals to the low rider crowd, while the Impala SS sits well with muscle car fans. Not to mention that the Impala is big enough to be a family car! The 1961 Chevrolet Impala SS even goes down in history as the first American muscle car, even before the legendary Pontiac GTO came to be. If we had to pick though, it’s the 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS that gets our vote as one of the best-looking generations thanks to its mean demeanor. In imagining ways to improve…

These weird sports cars put looks over performance, completely missing the whole point of the vehicle. Sports cars are vehicles designed with sportiness in mind, rather than practicality, ergonomics, or comfort. As a result, most sports cars are brilliant when hooning around, but terrible when used as a daily driver. Granted, automakers have changed their sports cars to be more user-friendly, but there are still models that are only really great for a weekend blast up a mountain pass. Then, there are the sports cars that are more style over substance – the cars that offer good looks but are lacking…
