I say this every year because it’s true, 2018 was the biggest year at Right Foot Down ever. We saw unprecedented site traffic and our YouTube page has been blowing up as well with unique content you won’t find anywhere else. 2018 saw a ton of feature reviews, special thinks to Jacob Auernheimer who cranked out a crazy amount of reviews on everything from a Lexus RC to an Amphicar. Thanks to newcomer Joel Patel who contributed some awesome new car reviews as well. We’re looking to continue the momentum into 2019 and we’re always looking for new contributors so please reach out if you are interested.
And as always thanks for visiting RFD! On to the reviews!
