The Genesis G80 sedan is undergoing a refresh, and a stealthy individual managed to capture a development vehicle at night. The extensive camouflage obscures much of the car’s appearance, but the photographer was able to get up close and document details such as the interior.
Similar to previous spy images, the refreshed G80 is wrapped in a fabric covering with panels underneath for added secrecy. The exterior features the signature split headlights and taillights that are characteristic of the brand. The shield-shaped grille remains a prominent element of the front end, sporting a mesh design.
If you enjoy taking on difficult challenges, the latest restoration video from YouTube channel Live with Creativity is perfect for you. This time, the project is a 1970s Honda C70 that has been pulled from the scrap heap. It’s a bike that is mostly rust with very little solid metal left. While some people may find beauty in this worn-out condition, it’s not ideal for a vintage bike.
As the video begins, anyone watching might question whether this project is beyond hope. But, for the creator of the channel, nothing is impossible. He is determined to restore this bike even though it seems like a lost cause. The restoration process involves taking the bike apart, cleaning, repairing, and protecting each component. It’s not as simple as it sounds, especially when dealing with a bike in such bad shape.
Surprisingly, the engine and even the carburetor are in decent condition considering their age. However, the rest of the bike is heavily rusted, bent, broken, or damaged in some way. Despite these challenges, the creator manages to salvage most of the bike by welding solid metal pieces into the areas previously occupied by the rusted parts.
Some parts, like the leg shields, require extensive hammering to restore them to their original shape. The entire restoration process is captured in a 41-minute video. It’s a labor-intensive project but watching the creator’s determination and progress can be highly inspiring for DIY enthusiasts.
If you’re feeling discouraged about your own projects, this video can serve as a source of motivation. Bookmark it for those moments when you need a boost to keep going.
Scratches on your car can be frustrating, whether they’re caused by someone in a parking lot, a zipper scraping against the door, or tight driving on a narrow road. But you don’t have to rush to a body shop for repairs. There are plenty of products available that you can use at home to remove scratches effectively.
In this article, we’ll be looking at the best car scratch removers on the market. Some are specifically designed to remove scratches, while others are polishes that also claim to remove scratches. We tested these products on various types of scratches, from small and barely noticeable ones to larger and deeper ones caused by a tree branch. We evaluated how well they performed and considered price as a factor.
BEST BUY: Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound Color & Clarity Restorer
Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound is actually a polish, but it does an excellent job of removing scratches, swirls, and blemishes. It managed to almost completely remove a noticeable scratch caused by a tree branch. It also worked very well on smaller and medium scratches. In terms of price, it falls in the middle range, making it great value for money. This versatile and useful product is not just a scratch remover but also a great polish. It’s easy to apply, gives a lovely finish when buffed, and lasts for a few weeks.
The AutoGlym Scratch Removal Complete Kit includes everything you need to remove scratches without having to buy any additional products. The kit contains a 100ml Scratch Remover, 100ml Super Resin Polish, a Hi-Tech finishing cloth, and a scratch removal applicator. This kit would make a good present for friends or family, although they might not appreciate the sentiment behind it. We found that it helped reduce the visibility of larger scuffs, but due to the size of the products, it may not be suitable for massive scratches. However, it worked very well for spot-treating smaller scratches. For a great shine, finish off with the Super Resin Polish.

A Honda Juno M80 scooter from 1962 is currently available for sale in Yonkers, New York. The Honda Juno M80 and M85 were boxer-engined scooters introduced by Honda in the early 1960s. These models were only sold in Japan and were not very popular, resulting in a short production period. However, these scooters have gained interest and curiosity over the years, especially among collectors. This particular 1962 Honda Juno M80 has a Vermont registration, showcasing its rarity in the United States.
The scooter is in running order and has approximately 9,000 kilometers on the clock. The previous owner repainted it, giving it a white and green two-tone color scheme with chrome accents. The black split saddle is also in good condition considering its age. What makes this scooter even more special is the inclusion of the factory tool kit, which is often hard to find with older bikes sold secondhand.
Under the hood, the 1962 Honda Juno M80 is powered by its original 124cc four-stroke, air-cooled boxer engine, producing 11 horsepower. It features an electric starter that works well and has an automatic clutch and chain final drive. The scooter comes with multi-piece, 10-inch steel wheels fitted with Pirelli rubber and brakes on both ends.
The current bid for the scooter is $2,750 as of July 21, 2023, and the auction is set to end on July 22, 2023, at 2:25 p.m. Eastern Time.
If you enjoy unboxing videos, you’ll definitely want to check out this one. It features the unboxing of a new 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 R, a special edition bike developed by Ducati for the World SuperBike Championship.
The Panigale V4 R is the most extreme variation in the Panigale V4 lineup and is designed for racing. It boasts up to 240.5 horsepower in its racing configuration, but for EURO 5 compliance, the power is limited to 218 horsepower. With a racing exhaust, it can reach up to 237 horsepower.

The Panigale V4 R features various engine enhancements, including new camshafts, pistons with DLC coating, and new connecting rods. It also comes with lightweight titanium and carbon parts. Unlike the standard Panigale, the V4 R is a limited-production model designed for homologation purposes.
The unboxing process is relatively simple, with the front wheel attached during shipping and the rear securely fastened with brackets, a bolt, and a rod. Only 500 units of this special edition Panigale were produced.
If you’re someone who loves to tackle hands-on projects, then you’re probably familiar with what I call “project brain.” It’s when you become so focused on achieving a specific goal that you throw caution to the wind. Did you end up spending more money than you planned on? Maybe. But you’re determined to get the job done. That’s what matters.
In a new video series from the YouTube channel Donut, motorcycle enthusiast Jeremiah Burton has taken on a new project: transforming a Coleman Powersports minibike from Wal-Mart into a 100mph speed demon. Can he do it? Even if he doesn’t, at least they’ll have an entertaining video series to show for it.
Before reaching his goal, Jeremiah needs to understand what he’s working with. After spending some time on the dyno, he discovers that the stock bike only produces 3.47 horsepower. To hit 100mph, he estimates that he’ll need to increase the power output to around 28 horsepower. It won’t be easy, but Jeremiah is determined to prove the naysayers wrong.
With a mountain of upgraded parts, Jeremiah sets to work on the bike’s engine. He replaces the connecting rod, flywheel, side cover, cylinder head, and carburetor, among other things. The only original component he keeps is the engine case itself.
When you combine the motivation to prove doubters wrong with project brain, it’s easy to stay focused on the goal. The video series has two more parts remaining, and glimpses of the future suggest that the bike becomes significantly faster and more powerful. Will it ultimately reach 100mph? Only time will tell.
German Manuel Lettenbichler won his second Red Bull Erzbergrodeo in a row on Sunday, making him the seventh person in 27 editions of the race to become a multiple winner. The 25-year-old trailed Great Britain’s Billy Bolt for much of the race, before a decisive pass in the latter stages sealed victory with Canadian Trystan Hart third for the second successive year. Here is all you need to know:
Manuel Lettenbichler racing through the prologue course at Erzberg rodeo on 10th June, 2023 // Sam Strauss / Red Bull Content Pool
– Reigning FIM Hard Enduro world champion Lettenbichler overcame 500 competitors and a mountain referred to as the ‘Iron Giant’ to win Austria’s iconic race in two hours and 31 minutes. Once in the lead, Lettenbichler put on a masterclass to beat his closest challenger Bolt by 11 minutes. Of 500 starters, 16 managed to finish the course containing 27 checkpoints across varied terrain within the four-hour race time limit.
– Held in the Austrian mining town of Eisenerz and first launched in 1995, the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo is the most revered race in the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship. It takes place around the gravity defying Erzberg mountain, a functioning mine producing more than three million tons of iron ore per year. At each edition of the race, a mix of professionals and amateurs take part.
– Lettenbichler paced himself early in the race, trailing eventual third-place finisher Hart before taking the lead. Soon after he conceded first to a hard-charging Bolt, who had crashed at the beginning of the race and was on a mission to try and win the famed event for the first time.
– After one hour and 17 minutes chasing Bolt, Lettenbichler snatched the lead back at checkpoint 22 of 27. From there he rode off into the distance to not only win the race for a second time, but also secure wins at the first two stops of the 2023 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship.
– Lettenbichler said: “I’m speechless that I had such a big gap at the end. I don’t really believe it. I had a really good start and then Billy caught and passed me, and I tried to stay with him, but I couldn’t. He pulled a gap, so I tried to save some energy. When I could see him again, I decided to push and I would say he was pretty tired. Then I just rode a really good line to pass him. This race is such a crazy motorbike festival and everyone in the world just comes and wants to do this challenge and finish this race. It’s super unique. It feels amazing to win a second time in a row.”
– Despite seeing victory dissipate before his eyes, Briton Bolt managed to record his best finish at Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, despite a litany of drama which only became apparent after the race.
– Bolt, 25, said: “That was my worst ever start and then the next 10 minutes was a blur, and I knew I needed to pass as many people as possible before the course got technical. I bent the front disc on my bike in the crash. I also dented my exhaust pretty badly. I’ve had a fair bit of drama, all self-induced. When Mani passed me, I thought I would struggle to keep up with him. I didn’t take it easy, I just made sure I could get home in second. But all things considered, I am very, very happy.”
– Hart, who has two podiums in three attempts, said: “Back-to-back podiums, lots of people would be happy but, to be honest, I’m not super happy. I put myself in a really good position, I was leading, which I didn’t really expect and then I just got tight and made a lot of mistakes in the first hour. To get the holeshot and then make a lot of mistakes like that is kind of heartbreaking. I was right where I needed to be with Billy and Mani, and then kind of threw it all away.”
– Red Bull Erzbergrodeo marked round two of the 2023 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship, however, only a small portion were elite professionals chasing the title, the rest being amateurs. The prologue narrowed 1,300 entrants to 500 qualifiers for the start of Sunday’s main race, and the predictably brutal course was mastered by just 16 riders.
– The best placed local was Austrian Michael Walkner, cousin of 2018 Dakar Rally champion Matthias Walkner, who finished seventh. Compatriot Marcel Hirscher – a multiple times gold medallist at the Olympics and World Championships in Alpine Skiing made his second start. The skier turned motorcycle racer managed to make it to checkpoint 19, an improvement on 2022 when his race ended at checkpoint 17.
