Fort Wayne Indiana Is A Great Guys Getaway Destination
Fort Wayne is a relatively hidden gem when it comes to destinations for a guys getaway. It is in a fantastic location - less than a 3-hour road trip from Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Indianapolis but it offers a diverse collection of activities and adventure for guys that love baseball, outdoor adventure, cars, trucks, and of course food, and craft beer. I've visited here a few times before to attend the Vera Bradley outlet sale and each time we visited I noticed "one more reason" to come back with a group of guys.

Tips for Renting a Car for a Road Trip
Renting a car for a road trip is something that some people do for family trips to see relatives when they want the extra space that a mini-van can offer, but even if it's a group of guys headed out on a guys trip to a neighboring city for a ball game - renting a car can be a great option. For a hassle-free road trip, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the rental company's policies—age limits, additional driver fees, insurance coverage, fuel policies, and mileage restrictions. Choose the right car for your needs considering passengers, luggage, fuel efficiency, terrain, and weather conditions. Understand the diverse insurance policies available and select what suits your trip best. Use fuel-saving strategies like proper route planning and tire inflation. Also, prepare for unexpected costs, like fluctuating gas prices and toll fees. As you explore further into these tips, you'd uncover more insights to support your adventure.

Pacific Coast Highway One Road Trip
One of the most iconic road trips in California... or indeed in the United States is California's Pacific Coast Highway, also known as Highway 1. Whether you rent a convertible or a campervan for the trip, it is sure to be a memorable one. We've driven this route several times and there are tons of great places for guys to visit. While this trip is a bit awkward now due to the road south of Big Sur being closed due to a slide (as of June 2024), that should be reopening soon so you can complete this legendary road trip the way generations of men have done since 1919.

imagine starting on a father-and-son adventure in the comfort of a camper van without needing to plan your route to the next hotel or worrying about rushing to catch flights.

Kumho AT52 Road Venture Review: A Safe Ride Starts With Good Tires
When you think of road safety we think of brakes and steering more than we do tires but to be fair - none of that matters if you don't have good traction or something hits the sidewall and causes a sudden loss of pressure. Trucks are interesting vehicles because they inherently have a lot of different considerations that passenger vehicles like my Kia Soul don't. For instance, with the 2004 Dodge Ram that I'm currently bringing back to life, it will be our vehicle to drive in snow, it might even pull a boat one day, and it's possible I might even get the chance to take it off roading at some point... or at least on dirt paths that the Soul wouldn't dare to tackle. This means that I need something beefier than merely a road tire. Luckily the folks at Kumho sent me a set of their Road Venture A/T 52 tires to check out and share my thoughts.

Protecting Your Truck from Salt Damage: How to Prevent Costly Repairs and Maintain Performance
It might be warm right now, but winter is around the corner. After living in southern California for the past decade, I'd sorta forgotten about the beating that cars up north take due to salt and other chemicals used to keep the roads safe to drive on during winter storms. As good as these are to get rid of ice... they are equally good at damaging trucks, SUVs, and cars. That means that you need to do something to shield your truck from the damaging effects of road salt corrosion. Sure, I'd already planned to wash my undercarriage regularly and I'd thought about applying protective coatings last winter but it seemed like overkill. Last week, though, I was talking with a friend who's lived in Ohio all his life, and he shared some efficient and effective ways that he uses to keep his truck going strong. Here's what he shared about maintaining a vehicle's body condition throughout the colder months and some mistakes he made that we can avoid!

Great Lakes Road Tripping With The 2024 Toyota Sequoia Platinum
As a fan of the Toyota brand, I've grown to trust and appreciate the conservative look and feel that the brand has always represented to me. As they continue to make generational leaps in technology, power, and comfort it can sometimes be a little bitter sweet. That's how I felt driving the new 2024 Toyota Sequoia Platinum on a road trip between Toledo, OH on the shores to Lake Erie to St, Joseph, MI on the shores of Lake Michigan... with a stop in one of my favorite cities for a guys trip - Fort Wayne, Indiana. Don't worry though, if you think maybe I didn't like it... you'd be wrong. Toyota did a great job with this vehicle. While I have the fond memories of road tripping in Florida, Texas, and California in the previous generation... I can't wait to do more with this new one!

Tips For Summer Road Trips In An Electric Vehicle
Chosing an electric vehicle for your summer road trip may not be the most obvious choice but I truly enjoy the sense of freedom from loud noises and vibration that an EV allows when cruising through national parks and other areas where I want to enjoy what's around me as much as I do what I'm inside of. Despite this, I'm not oblivious to the challenges that EV road trips present. While there have been massive improvements in battery technology in recent years, an EV is still best suited for short to medium trips under 200 miles at at time. Luckily, there are plenty of great summer excursions that are perfect for this. Let's take a look at how you can maximize your experience exploring America in an EV this summer.

Genesis GV80 Is The Luxury SUV That Every Guy Deserves To Have In His Garage
Genesis has been on a rocketship ride to the moon in the past few years... starting as a sports car sub brand of Hyundai and then proving what they could do with the Equus, Genesis is now solidly my favorite affordable luxury brand. If you are looking for an absolutely fantastic luxury SUV that looks, feels, handles, and quite frankly has better quality than almost anything else it competes with, look no further than the 2024 Genesis GV80.

Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid 2024
Simply put, the Grand Highlander takes everything we love about family haulers from Toyota and makes it .. well .. grand. More space, more power, more luxury, this is the vehicle that any Toyota family needs to consider upgrading to if they want something "more" but aren't quite ready to move into a fully luxury-focused vehicle.

Lexus TX 500h F-Sport: For Dads Who Refuse To Get A Family Car (but still need one)
At a certain point in any man's life you are faced with the challenge of needing something practical - a three-row SUV for hauling kids around and bringing supplies back from the big box stores, or getting something truly fun and exciting to drive that will make all the other guys envious. No matter what you get it will be a compromise and that's why I'm so excited to have had the opportunity to test drive both the 2024 Lexus TX 500h F-Sport and the Grand Highlander Platinum back to back this month.

Chasing The Eclipse In The Mazda CX-90
We tried the Mazda CX-90 PHEV last fall while moving in San Diego and fell in love with the vehicle. It was the first time that I began to consider the possibility of selecting a luxury 3-row crossover instead of a truck. However, to be completely honest... that rapid two-week whirlwind of packing and moving also wiped our mind clear of some of the specific details so when we got the opportunity to try it out again we jumped at the opportunity. Doubly so since we were going to be doing a bit of a road trip to Port Clinton, OH to watch the eclipse from near the center of the path of totality.

Things You Don't Think About When It Comes To Owning A Diesel Truck
