Drive! Magazine - October 2025

In this issue

This month’s issue of Drive is stacked with heart, hustle, and horsepower. From hand-built classics to high-end customs, every page is a deep dive into the world of passion-fueled automotive storytelling. In “Bought Not Built,” we explore the blurred lines between buying and building, where passion counts just as much as wrench time. Then it’s all eyes on “IHATE PHIL,” a build where long-time dreams finally become reality, followed by “Swanky,” a high-caliber Ford that came together in just one month and didn’t miss a detail. Don’t miss “The Sleepy Banana,” a deceptively fast Hilux that might look tame, but packs a punch. We also resurrect a diamond in the rough in “Left for Dead,” proving that grit and vision can transform anything. Finally, “Black Reign” closes out the lineup with a moody, all-black build that never misses. Whether you're a builder, buyer, or just a gearhead looking for inspiration, this issue delivers. Let’s drive.
