The sun has set, but the sky is still bright, and the gray twilight will last until dawn. A man with a string trimmer is cutting the grass on the roof of his house in the small Faroese village of Bøur, protected from falling by nothing more than his sense of balance on the steep-pitched turf. In the road below, a group of tourists is vying to capture the best angle of the five peaks of Tindhólmur, an improbably shaped islet that rises more than 860 feet from the waters of the Sørvágsfjørður fjord, looking like an AI hallucination turned real. As a distant rumble fills the air, the evening is set to turn a shade more surreal. This story originally appeared in Volume 37 of Road & Track. Soon the sound resolves to the unmistakable, bass-heavy notes of big-capacity engines in the otherwise still air. Then a long line of cars appears, proceeding slowly through the village’s narrow main street. A C5 Corvette leads the parade of Americana that also includes a thunderous second-gen Camaro, a Ford Ranchero, and a diesel V-8 Chevy C/K pickup, among many others. I came to the Faroe Islands to investigate car culture in remote places. I’ve definitely found it.

This GM Plant Might Be Headed For An 18-Month Production Hiatus
Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. About a year ago, General Motors said it will be axing the current Cadillac CT5 after 2026, and production is scheduled to end in December. That said, the CT5 will be returning in about two years as a 2029 model, but the timeline leaves us with some important questions regarding one of GM’s production facilities. We’re referring to the Lansing Grand River plant up in Michigan, whose future seems very uncertain until CT5 production resumes. The factory might be on its way toward an extended pause while the next Cadillac luxury sedan is being developed, as GM hasn’t clarified its plans in that regard.

Delinquent Auto Loans Are Rising And The Industry Could Come Crashing Down: Report
Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. Remember the subprime mortgage crisis that ultimately resulted in the global financial meltdown of 2008? Bad loans, sketchy financial instruments, and defaults from high-risk borrowers plunged the world into the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression. Lessons were learned and measures have been taken to make sure something like that never happens again – right? So you’d think, but there’s a reason why we’re bringing up the GFC and it most certainly isn’t good. A Reuters report recently brought some chilling details to light about the current state and trajectory of auto loans in America. Many parallels can be drawn between where said market stands right now and the factors leading to the housing crash nearly two decades ago, which is rather concerning to say the least.

Musk Wants The New Tesla Roadster To Go Over 380 MPH
Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. Regardless of your opinion on Tesla or its eccentric founder Elon Musk, there’s no denying that the Roadster’s recent reveal was absolutely wild. That thing just drove upside down, flew over a Semi and other Teslas while doing a barrel roll, and launched itself from zero to 60 mph in a single second. Call them gimmicks if you will, but the new Roadster basically broke the internet after its long-awaited official debut. And if there’s one thing Musk is more proficient at than anyone else, that would be his unmatched ability to get people talking even if it comes at the expense of overly ambitious or downright preposterous claims.
