Contributor Steven Cole Smith, Editor-in-Chief for Car Coach Reports is next and shares his test-driving experience with the Ford F150 Lightning. It’s fast and can tow a good payload, with a 320-mile range, It’s a nice drive, however, the downfall is you always have to calculate the miles, to make sure you have a charging station to get to and of course the beautiful price sticker of 80k. Onto the motorsports world; the Miami Grand Prix is coming up, NHRA, NASCAR and Formula 1 are all out and about as everyone is on the tracks right now. Closing the show is Contributor George Kennedy III, Co-founder of Cartender.com, and the Vice President of the New England Motor Press Association. He contributes to U.S. News &amp; World Report, CarGurus, and Forbes Wheels. George test-drove the 2023 BMW M2. He said, “It’s a little awkward getting into the car, especially if you’re a ‘big’ guy.” The sides of the seat ‘box you in’ and the floor has a raised middle to which your legs fit snugly into. This helps eliminate movement when going around corners. Its power and lightning-quick response, make this coupe smooth and refined.
