A Hyundai Santa Cruz With a Lift Kit
Lifted 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz: Is The Santa Cruz Better With A Lift?
A Hyundai Santa Cruz with beefy off road tires and a two inch lift is something I didn’t think I’d ever see. But Ben Hardy went to check one out at Murdock Hyundai of Lindon, Utah. It’s a unique build done up by the dealer. Unfortunately it’ll cost whoever is going to buy it. The dealer started with a Santa Cruz SEL Premium with the turbo engine, which stickers for $39,290. But with the add-ons, the dealer is expecting someone to drop $42,579 for it. A lot of money for not quite a lot of “truck.”

Battery Powered Steering and Five Radiators | 900hp Electric Escape Project
For the last few months, Aging Wheels has been working on a project that is pretty bonkers. He’s taken a first generation Ford Escape and is converting it into an EV with 900 horsepower. This latest upload shows him performing random installation of parts. It was supposed to be about him installing the batteries but they hadn’t come in yet. It should be a hell of a build when it’s finished.
A Reminder of How Scary Some Car Repairs Are
