New Hello Road vid! This is my 2000 WiLL Vi that I imported from Japan last year, and it’s quite possibly the weirdest car Toyota has ever built. Today let’s talk about what it has been like to own this super strange and super rare JDM import. What are my favorite things about this odd machine? What is it like to drive? What is maintenance like? And why does it confuse just about everyone that sees it?

New Hello Road vid! In a world shifting to pricey crossovers and SUVs with an average cost of over $50k, the practical and stylish K4 Hatchback is a welcome addition to Kia's inexpensive K4 lineup. Let's take a close look at the features, technology, design, interior, fuel economy, and find out if a hatchback is actually better than a similarly priced crossover or SUV. Come join me!

New Hello Road vid! A tiny SUV that easily fits in the smallest parking space, yet crawls up rocky terrain that might humble a Land Rover. Today let’s go back in time and relive the storied history of the Suzuki Jimny / Samurai, and how it became one of the most beloved SUVs on the planet. We’ll look at its meteoric rise and sudden downfall in the US, and then we’ll drive my newly imported third gen 1999 Jimny both on road and off. Come join me!

New vid! I wasn't planning to import another adorable JDM car, but it was hard to pass up something this adorable! I just bought a 1999 Mitsubishi Toppo BJ, a tiny yet extremely practical kei car with a weird name. Apparently BJ stands for "Big Joy!" Ok then! The Toppo BJ has tiny exterior dimensions but provides an incredibly spacious interior. Today let's head down to the port to pick it up, take a close look at all of its unique features, and take it for a test drive!

New vid! Dash cams have gone from a nice-to-have to a necessity for a lot of people. Today's roads can be a bit of a war zone. 😬 Today I’m going to test out the new Vueroid S1 4K Infinite two camera dash cam, check out all of the features, take a close look at the video quality, and see if it’s worth buying!

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but our roads can be a bit of a war zone! Dash cams have gone from a nice-to-have to a necessity for today’s drivers. They can provide key evidence for crashes and on-road disputes. But if the video quality is poor or you don’t have the right camera angles, [....

New vid! Time to work on my $1000 minivan project! This old thing loves to stall, and there is an assortment of broken things here and there. You'd think that I would tackle the stalling first, but you'd be wrong! Instead, I'm going to procrastinate on the difficult stuff and focus on some simpler tasks.
