    Track Sculpture Review

    This is a product review we just did, and in all honesty found the company great to work with. I always thought these were neat, but pricey.. Either way, I wanted to show them up close with some detailed shots and video, just in case somebody was interested but on the fence. Very cool stuff...

    Husky Shield Paint Protection

    Just installed a Husky Shield paint protection system the other day. Not sure if they offer them on Sonics, but it is a pretty clever kit you can do at your own house. Basically a clear bra, felt like I was installing a massive screen protector. Husky Liners Husky Shield Hoagies Garage

    Nelson Ledges Road Course Track Day

    Anybody out there track their Sonic? I've seen them at the track before, but not very often. Nelson Ledges is a fun track that is a great deal. I spent the day in a Z06 there, and figured I'd offer up my commentary on the vehicle and the day. Hope you enjoy and maybe we'll see you out there...

    32 Hours 7 Minutes

    If anybody is a fan of record, high speed runs on the highway, this film is pretty solid. We had a chance to watch 32 Hours 7 Minutes and wrote our take on it. Anytime I'm doing that drive time calculation for a vacation or anything, I always wonder what would happen if there was no speed...

    Latest car in our garage was the '15 Buick Regal GS AWD. I wasn't too excited about driving a Buick, but after spending time in this vehicle, we became believers in what Buick has become. Hope you enjoy the story! This is not the Grand National ? Hoagies Garage

    Mazda MX-5 Miata

    We have our Sonic LTZ Long Term Tester in the garage, but in the meantime got to drive the MX-5. Not gonna lie, expected a lot more out of this thing. I feel like a slightly modded RS would easily run with this guy. Thoughts on the MX-5 and our story? Thanks! Hoagies Garage

    Lower Grille

    I have an LTZ with the front plate mount installed from the factory. What does it take to remove the lower grille section? I can see the plate mount is riveted in, but I was wondering if it would be simple just to buy a new/unriveted lower grille and simply replace the one I have now. No...
