North Korea ordered 1,000 cars - then never paid for them
North Korea has the lowest rate of car ownership in the world, yet somehow its streets are filled with Mercedes-Benz sedans, imported luxury SUVs, and even decades-old Volvos that were never paid for. In this episode, we uncover the bizarre and often unbelievable history of automobiles in one of the world's most isolated countries. From Soviet-inspired factories and homemade Mercedes clones to international sanctions, black market smuggling networks, and the largest automotive theft in history, this is the story of how North Korea built its car culture despite being largely cut off from the global automotive industry. We'll explore the country's philosophy of self-reliance, the rise and fall of its domestic car manufacturers, the infamous Volvo deal that remains unpaid more than 50 years later, and the elaborate schemes used to bring luxury vehicles into the country. Along the way, we'll examine what cars reveal about power, status, and everyday life inside North Korea, where even a simple drive can represent a rare taste of personal freedom.

Cheap Jaguar XKR becomes a manual monster
DriveTribe finally road tests its manual converted Jaguar XKR after turning a cheap Japanese import into a 420 HP supercharged V8 coupe.

The result feels sharper, louder, and much more like the Jaguar sports car that should have existed from the factory. But the first drive also reveals problems, including a very hot cabin, an aggressive clutch, and awkward driving ergonomics. It is exciting, flawed, and full of character.

A famous movie car became evidence in the scandal that changed GTR imports
The video revisits the rise and collapse of Motorex, the company that helped bring the Nissan Skyline GT-R into American car culture before everything fell apart. What began as a bold attempt to make forbidden Japanese performance cars legal in the United States soon became tied to Hollywood, including GT-Rs linked to the early Fast and Furious films. As demand grew, the business struggled under legal requirements, high costs, missed promises, and the erratic behavior of its founder. The story escalated into investigations, alleged assaults, stolen cars, federal scrutiny, and the end of a once-promising import operation. At the center of it all was a yellow movie-linked GT-R whose destruction symbolized the end of one of America’s most dramatic import car scandals.
