I've discovered so much about my ability in the last month or two, to where I feel at times that, after 12 years, I might actually be legitimately good at this. And this is not to plunge for words of affirmation but rather to state that when efforts go towards things you believe in, purpose follows.

But I love my job. I wish it were easier and that the hard work always paid off. But even when that isn't the case, I'm still thankful. I'm still proud. I love making these videos. I just never knew I was capable of making them more frequently while working a second job. I didn't trust I could.

Working on a new RCR Stories for next week that is a blend of motorsports history, military story, true crime, and generational family drama. Current runtime is exactly 90 minutes. But editing is taking forever because I'm tracking down photos. Spent 12 hours editing yesterday and finished 30 mins

According to one Toyota executive, diesel-powered cars might be entering the twilight of their lives, and hydrogen could be the alternative. But could it really be over for diesel? New Roman Report is now live on YouTube.

The Acura Legend made Acura relevant at a time when luxury buyers wanted something different. But how does it hold up today?

It was the greatest race ever run: a 22,000-mile trek across the world. In a new RCR Stories, I take a look at the legendary 1908 New York To Paris Race, an impossible journey with an unbelievable ending.

Who wants to buy my 1996 Honda Today JA4 5-speed? Get in my DM’s and make me an offer. I have a chance to buy-back my 1988 AW11 Mk1b! I need to make room!

The Oldsmobile Aurora was Oldsmobile's last chance. Their half-court shot at the buzzer. And they bricked it. How did the Aurora fail to give Oldsmobile a new identity? Did it ever have a chance?

Also, apropos of nothing, I hate that em dashes have become the telltale sign of AI. Because I always loved using them. But now if I do, everybody is going to think I need a bunch of ones and zeroes to write my dick jokes for me. Back to colons it is, I guess.

Getting started on a new RCR Story, and just like the traffic jam video, this is kind of a spontaneous choice, but it's a really weird and wonderful piece of early automotive history, the kind that got me into making these videos in the first place. I can't wait to share this.

This is the rarest car we've EVER gotten on RCR because these don't exist! A NEW Hino L6. We thought Hinos came off the factory line with a minimum of 160,000 miles and lots of dents and grease all over.
