Rider on a 2025 BMW M 1000 R front shot burnoutBMW Motorrad The motorcycle industry has entered this strange phase where everything seems like it’s trying too hard. Sports bikes are pushing horsepower numbers that most riders will never fully use outside a racetrack. Adventure bikes have become gigantic rolling tech showcases with enough electronics to rival luxury cars. Even naked bikes are starting to creep toward superbike territory with winglets, semi-active suspension, and power figures that border on absurd for everyday riding. Somewhere along the way, balance stopped being exciting. That’s the funny thing, though. Most riders don’t actually…

Spiders? Skeletons? Bad omens? My kind of party. khvoshch I almost don’t want to call Meshchera a match-three game because I fear that kind of undersells how captivating it is. But, it is a game you play within a six by six grid, in which you have to group matching tiles in clusters of three or more so they may merge and become other, higher value tiles, so that’s the description we’re working with. The atmosphere is off the charts, though, which isn’t something I’m used to finding in these types of games. It has gorgeously…

The trusty pickup truck is one of the most revered forms of vehicle in the United States, with various shapes and sizes of the category leading the way when it comes to the sales charts. They can be used as hardened work vehicles that spend all day transporting heavy stuff around, before then loading up the family and heading out to a charming restaurant in the evening. Plus, if you opt for something like a Ford Ranger Raptor, it can also embarrass serious sports cars at the lights. When it comes to performance-focused trucks, Ford has tended to lead the…

There’s a saying that pops up in many circles of car culture when you’ve got a problem with the engine in your sports car, and that saying is “just LS-swap it.” Repair bills for that V8 in your E39 BMW M5 got you down? Just LS swap it. Is the rotary engine in your Mazda RX-7 not reliable enough? Just LS swap it. Corvette buddies making fun of the V6 in your 350Z? Just LS swap it. The idea of stuffing General Motors’ V8 into places it doesn’t belong isn’t new. Still, the LS established itself as a trend popular…

For a long time, the laptop buying advice was simple enough. Windows had a more versatile portfolio that brought you affordable, mid-range, high-end, and even gaming options, while MacBooks were known as the easy premium recommendation. But owing to the pricing circus caused by memory shortages and component price hikes, the equation makes no sense anymore. Apple has always had an aspirational pull with its products, including the Mac. The appeal was the sleek hardware, the tighter software experience, and an ecosystem that makes you feel comfortable after getting in. Pricing was the one aspect that pushed people back towards…

BMW M3 G80 Sedan and Touring side and rear shots against a white backgroundBMW Elvis Presley, “The King” himself, reportedly said, “Life’s too short to drive boring cars.” He certainly lived that way, collecting a wild assortment of iconic cars like a 1942 Lincoln Zephyr, a 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II, a 1957 BMW 507, a 1971 De Tomaso Pantera (which he famously shot out of sheer frustration), and, of course, a couple of pink Cadillacs. Still, not all of us have Elvis money to spend on our garages. Fortunately, you don’t have to break the bank to get into…

The biggest car news and reviews, no BS Our free daily newsletter sends the stories that really matter directly to you, every weekday. Whether it’s reproducing parts that are no longer available, or creating one-off performance parts, 3D printing has opened up a lot of possibilities. But those parts are only as good as the templates they’re based off, and getting all of the correct measurements can be a time-consuming process. One hot rod shop found the solution by doubling down on tech. Based in the town of Marcy, in Upstate New York, Tucci Hot Rods is perhaps best known…
