YouTuber Shows Off His $3M Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector
Automotive enthusiast and YouTube personality Steve Hamilton is now the proud owner of one of the most extreme hypercars ever built in the U.S.—the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution. Priced at $3 million, the Texas-made beast delivers an eye-watering 1,817 horsepower from its twin-turbo 6.6-liter V8, positioning it among the most powerful production cars in the world.
Hamilton, the creator of The Hamilton Collection YouTube channel, took delivery of his high-performance machine and shared the moment with his audience. The Venom F5 Revolution is designed for extreme speed, theoretically capable of reaching 328 mph. Its aggressive aerodynamic package and track-focused tuning set it apart from the standard Venom F5, making it an even more intense driving experience.
Draped in an electrifying shade of green, the car makes a bold visual statement to match its raw performance. But its imposing looks aren't the only thing grabbing attention. The hypercar's thunderous exhaust note roars with unfiltered power, a fact not lost on Hamilton and his friends.
'It's growling. Your neighbors are going to love this one,' one friend quipped in the delivery video.
Beyond its sound and speed, the hypercar even has a distinct scent.
'It smells like America,' Hamilton declared, adding a patriotic touch to the occasion.
With its record-breaking capabilities and unmistakable presence, the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution is a testament to American engineering at its most extreme. For Hamilton, it's more than just a car—it's an adrenaline-fueled dream come true.

Jill Powell, of Lindale, bought a dozen tickets a few days before the event for the $5,000 spree donated by Susan Robinson Jewelry. 'I buy them every year for cancer.

You Can't Give Teslas Away These Days, but Tesla's Actually Trying To
Free car giveaways are typically associated with TV game shows, radio sweepstakes, or halftime contests, but right now there's one being hosted directly by an automaker. By participating in Tesla's 'TeslaVision' contest, you could score a brand-new Model Y and a private tour of the Texas Gigafactory. In 2017, Tesla held 'Project Loveday,' a video contest named after a 10-year-old fan of the brand who wrote a letter to CEO Elon Musk suggesting that customers submit promotional video clips to make up for the company's lack of traditional advertising. That contest received thousands of submissions and was eventually won by none other than YouTube superstar Marques Brownlee. The TeslaVision Contest Now, Tesla is holding the TeslaVision contest as a follow-up to Project Loveday. According to the company, it's here 'to commemorate launching deliveries of New Model Y in all continents where we operate.' That new Model Y is the so-called Juniper version, which arrived earlier this year sporting hardware updates, a remodeled interior, and a Cybertruck-esque headlight bar. So, the TeslaVision contest—it is, in Tesla's words, 'a global celebration and showcase of the owners and fans who have always recognized the true value and impact of our products.' To participate, submit a video no longer than 90 seconds 'showing how Tesla vehicles give you more in your life—more freedom, more safety, more fun, more convenience.' That video must then be posted to YouTube and shared on X and Instagram with Tesla's accounts tagged, and then those links uploaded in the contest submission form on Tesla's site. In addition to the Model Y winner, two runners-up will get an all-expenses-paid private tour of the Gigafactory outside of Austin, Texas, which produces some Model Ys and every Cybertruck. We Have Some Thoughts Acclaimed as America's best-selling EV, one might imagine that the Model Y is in such high demand that it wouldn't be so available as to be offered up as a giveaway. Evidently, however, Tesla has enough idle inventory to make one the grand prize in the TeslaVision contest. The EV innovator has faced harsh backlash due to CEO Musk's controversial involvement in Donald Trump's presidential administration. It's possible that the TeslaVision contest is being held to gather and then promote positive takes from Tesla fans who remain unbothered by Musk's drastic social impact, and are uninterested in the numerous other EVs from brands that don't have the contentious symbolism that Tesla now does, in addition to potentially longer range, faster charging, better quality, greater comfort, prettier styling, or higher performance. To wit, we question how a video could be created under Tesla's suggested parameters. Regarding 'freedom,' the advantage Tesla once held by keeping its widespread Supercharger network exclusive to its own cars is slipping away as other EVs gain access, allowing rivals to also enjoy road trip ease. Regarding safety, the 2025 Model Y scores the highest five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, as a plethora of other EVs do, but it no longer qualifies for IIHS Top Safety Pick as it did in years past. Furthermore, how Tesla's flagship Full Self-Driving (FSD) software has a propensity to make errors such as veering across a solid double yellow line into the oncoming lane of traffic makes safety seem tenuous at best. About fun, in our testing and assessments we've found Tesla vehicles don't have much to offer beyond the common EV attribute of quick straight-line acceleration, while rivals have superior chassis and handling refinement. To convenience, the spacious cabin, frunk and sub-trunk, and minimalistic layout found in Tesla vehicles contribute to that measure. However, the experience with MotorTrend 's 2023 Model Y long-term review car has often proved incredibly frustrating, such as the finicky flush-mounted exterior door handles, which often do nothing because the car doesn't recognize its smartphone app-based key, or how the cruise control can deactivate when using the windshield washers, or how, for now, using an adapter is necessary to charge on public Level 2 plugs. Hmm, maybe we wouldn't win this contest... positive thoughts! We should also point out the incongruity between asking fans and owners—many of whom likely already own a Model Y, given its ubiquity—to get excited about winning another one. If you're super excited about Tesla and want to show the company just how great you think it is and win a Model Y, you can submit your video clip to the TeslaVision contest website. Act soon, since the contest closes on July 17, 2025 or when 10,000 entries are received, whichever comes first.

Tariffs could hit bike shops hardest
(WHTM) — The latest tariffs on imported aluminum and steel are expected to impact one local business model more than any: bicycle shops. When it comes to imported metals, bikes just might top the list. Think aluminum frames and steel petals. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now 'The majority of the bikes we sell are gonna be made out of aluminum,' said Michael Haas, a bike shop manager. 'But anything we get in framewise is going to come from abroad.' The biggest brand his shop offers, Specialized, is headquarter in California but manufactured in Taiwan and other countries. That starts to add up with President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on imported metals. While bike shops say they started seeing the impact of thee tariffs about a month ago, most of the bikes consumers see in stock have been in the country for two, three or four months. So, tariffs may not have affected the prices of what's in store just yet. Haas recommends buying now before they do. 'It's definitely not fun for the customer when they see prices raised,' Haas said. 'So, we are doing as much as we can.' PA House passes bill requiring American-made steel in tax-payer funded projects Shops like his are trying to absorb the costs, but consumers will start to see prices rise starting this summer. E-bikes are especially hard hit. But just like with many things, bikes won't have tariffs if they are made in the United States with American steel. That could take a while to happen.
