I’ve always loved the idea of combining two things I care about—electric driving and the great outdoors. Whether I’m camping in the high desert, parked under redwoods, or road-tripping across state lines, I want a little energy insurance tucked in the trunk. That’s where solar EV trunk chargers come in. They’re not going to fully … Read more
I’ve always been curious about the “real” efficiency of my EV—especially when what I see on my dash doesn’t line up with EPA ratings. That led me down the rabbit hole of coast down testing, a method used for decades to help manufacturers simulate real-world drag and resistance when certifying fuel economy and range. But … Read more
After rotating my tires on my electric vehicle (EV) for the first time, I was surprised to see a flashing warning light on the dash—the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) icon. I figured the tires were properly inflated, so what gives? Turns out, EVs with direct TPMS (the kind that uses sensors inside the wheels) … Read more
When I started modifying my daily driver, the idea of dropping over a grand on coil-overs just wasn’t realistic. But I still wanted that lowered stance, better cornering feel, and less body roll—all without turning my spine into a tuning fork on every pothole. If you’re like me and want to improve handling without spending … Read more
When I finally decided to hard-wire my dashcam into my Toyota, I was mostly tired of seeing the bulky 12V charger wire draped across the windshield. I also really wanted to use parking mode properly, which only works when the camera is connected directly to the fuse box. If you’re in the same boat, I’ll … Read more
I’ll be the first to admit it, there’s something undeniably cool about underglow lights. I remember seeing them on tuner cars growing up and thinking, one day I’m going to install those. Fast forward to today, and underglow kits have come a long way: they’re brighter, smarter, and easier to install than ever. But here’s … Read more
If you’ve ever tailgated, camped, or just hung out with friends around your truck, you already know the factory audio system doesn’t cut it once you step out of the cab. I wanted to bring the party out back without spending a fortune—and that’s where sound bars for truck beds come in. I set a … Read more
I’ve always been a fan of making small changes that give my car a big presence. One of my favorite upgrades on my 2025 Honda Civic was installing a rear diffuser. It’s one of those mods that checks all the boxes—functional, stylish, and surprisingly affordable if you do it yourself. Whether you’re chasing cleaner airflow … Read more
If you live somewhere that gets icy, slushy, or snowy for months out of the year, then you already know how important all-wheel drive is for daily commuting. But finding an AWD car that’s actually affordable can feel like a game of compromise. You either get the price you want, or the features you need—but … Read more
When I started researching light RV towing, I realized there was a serious gap in the conversation. Most people talk about big pickups or full-size SUVs, but not everyone wants or needs to drive a tank just to tow a small camper or trailer. If you’re looking for something that can tow under 3,500 pounds—say, … Read more
