Sixteen rigs, a flood watch, and the roughest trail in Montana — a convoy push toward McElvy Lake that turned into a mud-soaked detour to Twin Lakes instead.

Trail access update: SGCRA installs a bypass on Main Boulder Road south of Big Timber, while Shoshone National Forest reopens all 21 switchbacks on Morrison Jeep Trail.

I gave this blue Caterham Seven 360 four sentences in my last recap. Here’s the full post it actually deserved, straight from Ressler Cars & Coffee.

A 63-horsepower Honda Beat parked itself among a Porsche colony, a Demon Slayer-liveried Subaru, and a blue Caterham Super Seven at Ressler Cars & Coffee — and still got upstaged by a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon named Boone. Here's how a kei car and a bird dog stole the whole show.

A 1971 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 in a color I'd never have picked off a swatch — Giugiaro's shape, a quadrifoglio on the C-pillar, and why the paint stopped mattering the second I got close.

Che vergogna — I gave this Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider one paragraph in the Cruisin' On Main recap. Here's the full confession: Nardi wood wheel, twin-cam bialbero, and why this is the exact car for the Amalfi Coast.

A "daily driver" show at Roly-Poly turned into a full-blown crush on somebody else's Alfa Romeo GTV — quad headlights, SPICA injection, and a wife who's already made peace with the blue project that isn't finished yet.

26 years of Main Street chrome, 230 classic cars, and $400k raised for charity. Here are the top highlights, rare Alfas, and the time my Honda Beat got out-sized by an actual racing go-kart at Cruisin' On Main 2026.

The Vigilante 77 Sunday dirt crew returned to Virginia City covered in dust and carrying plenty of stories. From air-cooled Porsches and oddball rally builds to Nick’s barbed-wire field repair, this is what the rally looked like when the dust settled.

Day 3 of the Vigilante 77 Rally sent the Sunday Dirt Crew charging across Montana’s fast dirt roads. A rally-prepped Porsche 944, a vintage Dodge on retired Crown Victoria cop-car bones, a yellow Land Rover Defender—and one big, fat, slow Lexus camera whale—made this the dusty finale we came for.

The Jackalope Drivers Club gathered at Roly-Poly Coffee Co. in Bozeman for the Vigilante 77 Rally send-off, where an eclectic mix of Porsches, rally builds, and muscle cars were unexpectedly upstaged by one tiny, bright-yellow Honda Beat.

The ultimate JDM maintenance cheat code. No brake lights, no cabin power, no horn—the Beat arrived looking like an absolute electrical ghost town. Here is how a quick-release steering wheel and a smartphone camera saved the day, and why I’m officially crossing my fingers that the fixes hold.

The wrap designs are officially on the table. A 1,600-pound JDM go-kart painted in Carnival Yellow demands a loud personality. From iconic blue-and-yellow Spoon Sports splits to aggressive Mugen geometry, here are the three racing liveries battling it out for the Beat—and I need your help picking the winner.

Think a Miata is small? Think again. When you park a 1991 Honda Beat next to a modern Fiat 124 Spider, the laws of automotive perspective completely break down. Here is a look at the hilarious reality of JDM kei car dimensions, and why scaling down means dialing the fun all the way up.

The ultimate anti-modern antidote has arrived. Forget heavy hybrid SUVs and numb touchscreens—this 1991 Honda Beat is a mid-engine, naturally aspirated, 8,500 rpm screaming JDM go-kart. Here is why Soichiro Honda’s final masterpiece is the most fun you can have on four wheels.

Forget the "hairdresser" stereotypes—this 1990s roadster has been resurrected for the apocalypse. Between the massive 32-inch mud terrains, the rugged external exoskeleton, and a custom flatbed that proudly bears the name "Booger Cookie," this NB Miata from Hell is built for pure chaos. It’s a Mad Max-inspired masterpiece that proves one thing: I bet this guy parties.

An old man’s take on why a 14-inch tablet and "stealthy" gray paint can’t replace the soul of a real truck. From Everest green to Underground gray, see why I’m sticking with my 80 Series while the rest of the world buys glorified calculators.

Experience the high-stakes theater of Hell’s Gate at Cruise Moab 2026. From the legendary "built not bought" 60 Series Land Cruiser of the Sons of Smokey crew to the absolute madman piloting a JDM Kei truck up the V-notch, the carspotting at the overlook proved that tire placement—and a little bit of guts—is everything.
