The United States Army continues to show interest in electric vehicles and this time they’re enlisting a specially developed Canoo Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV).

Set to be used for demonstration and analysis purposes, the Canoo LTV looks similar to the company’s upcoming Pickup but it features a single cab configuration as well as a raised suspension and 32-inch all-terrain tires. The truck also comes equipped with a proprietary all-wheel drive system that develops up to 600 hp (447 kW / 608 PS), which is more than the standard model that is targeted to have 500+ hp (373 kW / 507 PS).

Those aren’t the only changes as the LTV as a new front bumper with apparent D-ring mounts. We can also see a modified rear body and bed.

• You will need a jack, lug wrench, and spare tire to change a flat.
• Changing a flat tire only takes a few steps and can be done in minutes.
• Always change a tire in a safe, flat area away from traffic.

The last thing anybody wants to do is pull over to the side of a busy road and change a tire. However, knowing how to replace a tire is essential if you get a flat and can no longer drive safely. While roadside services can come in handy and will get you out of many situations, it’s always best to prepare for the worst as a driver. A dead phone battery or poor signal can prevent you from getting the help you need and leave you stranded on the side of the road.

It’s not fun, but all drivers should learn how to change a flat tire properly. Keep …

Unlike some, I didn’t have a strong connection with Honda’s last Civic Type R hatch, or even a desire to ever drive one, primarily because of the outrageously-styled body kit that inflicted it with an overtly cartoonish profile.

That was early 2018, before I ended up in the driver’s seat of a Championship White FK8 Type R and proceeded to systematically take apart a number of the more challenging sections in the Victorian high country in less than ideal conditions – it was a bit damp and a bit sketchy.

Just to make sure we didn’t drink too much of Honda’s Kool-Aid, we brought along two of its toughest rivals; the Ford Focus RS and Renault Megane R.S.

The Focus was my preordained favourite for its added poke and all-wheel drive stickiness on damp surfaces, while the Megane wasn’t far behind in the power stakes but also gained all-wheel steer, …

The traditional model of car ownership is undergoing a transformation. With the rise of mobility services, many consumers are shifting their focus from owning vehicles to accessing them as part of an on-demand service. The automotive industry is evolving rapidly, with manufacturers developing new cars tailored for mobility services rather than individual ownership. This shift is reshaping how we think about transportation, urban mobility, and the role of vehicles in society.

What is Mobility as a Service (MaaS)?

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) refers to a digital ecosystem where consumers can access multiple transportation modes — cars, bikes, scooters, and public transport — through a single platform. MaaS integrates ride-hailing services, car-sharing programs, and even long-term leasing solutions into one comprehensive system. Instead of owning a car, consumers can use an app to access a vehicle when they need it, paying only for the time or distance traveled.

1. Who Are Automotive Addicts?

More Than Just Car Lovers

Automotive addicts are far more than casual car owners. They live and breathe everything related to automobiles. This group is composed of a diverse set of individuals: from gearheads who meticulously work on their engines in their garages to weekend racers, and even those who admire the aesthetic beauty of classic and exotic cars.

For many, this passion stems from early childhood experiences, often sparked by …
