Tony Borroz grew up in a sportscar oriented family, but sadly, it was British cars. His knuckles still show the marks of slipped Whitworth sockets, strains to reach upper rear shock bushings on Triumphs, and slight burn marks from dealing with Lucas Electric “systems.” He has written for a variety of car magazines and websites, Automoblog chief among them. Tony has worked on popular driving games as a content expert, in addition to working for aerospace companies, software giants, and as a movie stuntman. He lives in the northeast corner of the northwestern most part of the Pacific Northwest.

Eight hours ago, I was airlifted into Mexico to start my long-running relationship with Forza Horizon 5. I already have two C8 Corvettes, a McLaren Senna, and, worst of all, a BAC Mono. Handing me a Mono is like giving Bernie Madoff a checking account. But this is the moment we’ve all...

Well, here it is, the moment all us gearheads have been waiting for: the unveiling of the Z06 version of the mid-engined C8 Corvette. And the results are, surprisingly, not as “out there” as I had expected. Sort of. All About Those Rear Tires In the past, the track-focused Z06...

This is an excellent book. Formula 1: Car by Car 1950 – 59 is not only a handy resource that every gearhead curious about racing history should own; it’s also well-written and entertaining. Posing as a reference book, which it sort of is, it really works as an early history of the...

The only real...

When I was a kid, I’d often look at Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars or the LEGO creations I’d make and think, “It’d be SO cool to crawl inside there and drive away!” Obviously, I wasn’t the only one to think that cause it’s pretty obvious that a bunch of people had...
