For true car lovers, the road trip isn’t just about getting somewhere — it’s the drive, the scenery, the history, and the roads that beg you to downshift and enjoy the ride. From coastal highways to desert stretches and racing landmarks, these are the best road trips for automotive enthusiasts in 2026 .

Meet Pancho & Cisco: The Nosy Miniature Mascots of Hot Rod Donkey Ranch At Hot Rod Donkey Ranch, we don’t just build custom hot rods and transform race machines into street-legal beasts — we also share the property with two of the most unexpected shop supervisors you’ll ever meet. Pancho and Cisco, our resident miniature donkeys, came with the ranch long before we ever turned a wrench on this land. They’re about six years old, stubborn in all the right ways, and living proof that sometimes you don’t own a donkey — the donkey owns you. But honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.
