Who is the TRUE Successor to the F40?

With the vaguely retro-inspired Ferrari F80 hitting the scene in late 2025, people all across the internet where quick to draw comparisons to the old turbo-ferraris of yore. Because, if you look at its wedgy profile and squint, a vague similarity would indeed be seen. So, is the F80 the true successor to the F40?…

The ZR1X Might Be Fast, But MSIMA *Will* Be FASTER

May of you “so called loyal consumers of content” may have heard from more “reputable” and “intellectual” sources that the new 1200 hp awd hybrid Corvette ZR1X posted a sub 2 second 0-60 time on both a prepped and unprepared surface. This bit of news, after further examination (reading it on Hagerty’s Instagram account) turns…

2025 Vinfast VF8 Plus – The Tragedy of the Mediocre

Man this was a depressing experience. The car was ok though. We had originally tried to get our cynical grubs on the newer 3-row VF9. But apparently the last one was sold a month ago, so instead we clambered into the infamous VF8 excitingly anticipating the worst. If you know anything about the “upstart” (in…

A time for us to look back and reflect on all the four wheeled abominations we’ve driven and reviewed this year. Except for me, as I am both above and incapable of self reflection. Hope y’all…

MSIMA Crashes the Overcrest Road Rally

It all started with an e30 parked at a motel next a bar in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. The four of us wandered over in mild bemusement turned genuine astonishment at what such a nice looking e30 M3 was doing here: And then we saw some old air cooled Porsche 911s that looked like barely…

1973 Mercedes 450SL “AMG” r107 – Your Eyes Doth Deceive

One man’s unhealthy Mercedes hoarding obsession is another man’s unhealthy car driving obsession. That’s right motherfuckers, our resident MISIMA Pimp has made another purchase. I’ve had to honor or disservice (the difference depends on your reality) to have driven and been around one too many mid 80-s to early 90’s Mercedes Benzes. Additionally, nearly all…

2016 Ford Fiesta ST – Blue Eggs and Spam

Turbos are magical whirly birds of wind, hell if I know how they work but the end result is always the same: a giant smile on my face. Yep, it’s time to get FISTed back into the 2010s when dubstep reigned supreme, X-Games was the coolest thing you’ve ever seen and Ken Block released something…

2017 V6 Camaro – Like it or not, its a sports car

So start out, this is my girlfriends car and I didnt have high expectations coming into the car. Everyone know how it is the with V6 and 4 cylinder cars, they’re “less cool”. They’re inehrently wrong for having an incorrect number of cylinders. Many an auto jorunalist has been laughed off for positive comments about…

2024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor – Electric Boogaloo

I THOUGHT YOU WHERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME FEEL NUMB! I had this Swedish-Chinese chimera in sedan form for a week in Norway. So, not only did I get to fuck around with a Polestar 2, but it was a nifty little trial run for the “EV Lyfe”. And what better place to try all…
