Welcome to the Garage. This is our real family garage: a mix of daily drivers and old-school trucks that we maintain and repair ourselves. Every guide on this site comes from wrenching on vehicles like these, so you are getting what we have actually learned in our own driveway, mistakes included.
2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia
The newest member of the family and the one that turns the most heads in the driveway. It is proof that you can still handle plenty of your own maintenance on a modern European car. You just have to do your homework and take your time.
2013 Ford F-150 FX2
Our F-150 in the FX2 trim, Ford’s two-wheel-drive sport package. It is a do-everything truck for hauling and running errands, so it sees its fair share of routine maintenance.
2011 BMW 528i
An N52-era 5 Series with BMW’s inline-six. German cars have a reputation for being expensive to keep up, and a lot of that cost goes away when you learn to do the work yourself.
1991 Chevrolet Silverado
A classic early-’90s Chevy truck that we keep running ourselves. Simple, tough, and easy to work on, it is the kind of truck that teaches you how a vehicle really works.
1989 Dodge Ramcharger
The old-timer of the bunch, a classic full-size Dodge we keep on the road. The front shots show its LED headlight conversion, and yes, the ram’s-head hood ornament stays.
