From cross-country adventures to exhilarating new exhibitions and youth-powered racing, the future is bright for America's Automotive Trust!

Plans are already underway for the return of The Drive Home, set for January 2026. This time, we’ll be cruising the legendary Route 66 from California to Illinois before heading to the Motor City for the Detroit Auto Show, all in honor of the 100th anniversary of America’s most iconic highway. Stay tuned to find out where you can catch us as we drive classic cars more than 2,000 miles across the nation.

In Tacoma, Rare & Luxurious: 100 Years of Exceptional Automobiles is now open at
LeMay – America’s Car Museum. This stunning new exhibit explores a century of style, performance, and prestige, featuring icons like the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, Lamborghini Miura, Duesenberg Model J, and Ford GT. This tribute to the art of the automobile is a can't miss!

On the
RPM Foundation front, the future is shifting into high gear. Preparations are underway for the 2025 Great Race X-Cup, happening next month, where student teams will showcase their skill on the open road. The RPM team is also kicking off filming for Endangered Skills, an all-new video series spotlighting the vanishing techniques that keep restoration traditions alive.

As we celebrate car culture past, present, and future, we wish everyone a joyful, thrilling, and safe car season. Stay tuned, stay engaged, and above all, keep driving what you love.
