This story was originally published 10/4/2014, but we’re republishing it because, well, it’s National CB Radio Day. -Ed.If it was good enough for the Duke boys, it’s good enough for us.Regardless of your feelings toward Jimmy Carter, I think we can all agree that his finest act as president was the creation of National CB Radio day. Carter designated October 4, 10/4, as a day to honor the citizens band, and to celebrate, we’re giving you a chance to brush up on your APCO 10 codes.Some of them ma…

Of everyone who’s ever pointed a lens at America, director John Ford may have been the most influential in defining the image of the land we call home. Ford’s 1939 film Stagecoach forever tilted our views of the West. Set on Navajo Nation land in Monument Valley on the border between Utah and Arizona, the film became the mold for the decades of Westerns that would follow, elevating John Wayne from relative obscurity to household name and painting the valley’s red spires and mesas as a necessary…

It was dusk, on the edge of darkness, and the S2000 had slipped away. I’d kept it in sight for better than eight miles, the two of us running as hard as we could, the tight two lane making the convertible’s power advantage moot. My car hadn’t been back together for more than an hour after months of sitting disassembled, and now it was dancing on the edge of control, its commuter tires and wasted bushings pressed past their mandate in the chase. But the S2000 wasn’t gone yet, and Route 39’s trick…

It feels like a betrayal when automakers attempt to apply one model’s glory to a less-deserving product. A Mustang is Parnelli Jones and Frank Bullitt, equal parts hair and grit. Not an electric crossover. A Blazer is a classic K5 SUV on mud terrains, its flanks spattered with black earth torn free by a ripping V-8. Not a compromised soft-roader. And a Land Cruiser is Toyota’s globe-conquering standard-bearer, the model that defined the brand as the pinnacle of reliability and capability. For m…

Someone asked if assembling our project Caterham 310R has been difficult. No. Not in the way I’ve come to know automotive difficulty, such as fighting rusted and rounded-off bolts with heat and snake oils and a four-foot cheater pipe that’s hungry for my teeth. Or sewing one wiring harness from three, only to find that the green-and-black wire that now lives in the dark recesses of the dash really should have gone to the purple-and-black wire. Through those lenses, working on the Caterham has be…

It’s been nearly five years since Yamaha pulled the sheets off of its Ténéré 700 concept, leaving us to itch and scratch and hope that the bike would live up to its promises. Now, we can concretely say it does.

We should have bought a Civic. A year ago, when my wife and I were hunting for a cheap, hatchback family hauler with a pulse, our options came down to a Honda Civic Sport Touring and a Volkswagen GTI. We went with the VW, and while we’ve had 12,000 trouble-free miles from the people’s hatch, a week with Honda’s unflappable commuter made me think we might have bought the wrong car. The Civic offers plenty of power, fuel economy that handily embarrasses our German hatch, and acres of room inside.…

We left the house Saturday morning. I packed up the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser and headed towards North Carolina with my wife in the passenger seat and our daughter in the back. A kind of take-your-kid-to-work day. Like everyone else, we’ve had to make some adjustments, lately. Kiddo’s school is closed through the end of April, and the rules of social distancing dictate that we can’t turn to our usual host of sitters when we need to photograph a press car for a magazine feature. For us, our vehicl…
