Why Dash Cams Matter for Everyday Drivers

If you’ve been on the road long enough, you know that not everything goes as planned. Accidents happen, people cut lanes without warning, and sometimes the story of what really happened gets blurred.

The 1993 Mazda RX-7 Was a Beautifully Flawed Rotary Rocket

Well, folks, it finally happened. Ferrari caved. The last holdout of the “we’ll never build an SUV” club has gone and done exactly that.

A secret out in the open Back then in ...

Rivian R1T – An Excellent All-Round Electric Pickup

Marketing would tell us that each startup automaker is going to launch an excellent vehicle from the first try. In reality, that rarely happens, either due to the lack of resources, talent or just a streak of bad luck. History books are filled with expected game changers that ended up in the trash bin. Rivian R1T is not part of that history. In fact, it managed to build one of the most ...

11 Fun-To-Drive Electric Cars

When the first modern hybrid cars hit the market, there was a lot of resistance from the public, with very little early adopters willing to risk their cash on the new technology.

Then, as Tesla came along, bringing both a proper electric vehicle as well as a ...

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge – The Original American Muscle Car

2022 GMC Hummer EV Review: No More Gas Guzzler

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV. It sounds strange saying it. After all, who would’ve even remotely thought about associating the infamous Hummer gas guzzler with the idea of eco-friendly electric powertrains? And yet, GMC took the bold risky step towards electrifying one of its famous humongous SUVs. It is still big; it takes on off-road challenges and it is mighty expensive. Let’s have a look at ...

15 Cool High-Tech Features on New Cars

New cars have gotten expensive… really expensive. Even the sensible base Honda Accord has a $25,470 starting MSRP, making it relatively unaffordable for many younger buyers.

2022 Ford Bronco – The Legend is Back

It’s been 25 years since Ford put a halt in the production of the Bronco. Built between 1966 and 1996, the Ford Bronco was adored by the American public looking for a compact off-roader that could double as a sports utility vehicle.

Will Future Cars Become Boring as the World Shifts to Electric Cars?

The short answer is no but the long answer is… it depends. Electric cars are neither better nor worse than ICE cars, but they are different.

17 Most Dangerous Things to Ignore on Your Car

Ever pumped up the volume on your car’s audio system just so you won’t hear that annoying rumble, at least not until you get home after a tiring day at the office?

While in some cases, annoyances can be ...

The 2021 Bentley Flying Spur is Sophisticated British Luxury

Before the third-generation Bentley Flying Spur, we were presented with models that heavily relied on their VW DNA, hidden well beneath their luxury shells.

The 2021 Bentley Flying Spur is now sharing its platform with ...

Most Annoying Cost-Cutting Features On Cheap Cars

Manufacturers have done it for decades; purportedly punishing buyers of their economy, or base model cars.

Decide to opt for the small engine choice; you get an awkward single exit exhaust on a rear bumper designed for ...

Owning a million-dollar car – for some, it’s an achievement to show how far they got in life while for others is just another hobby, admittedly, an expensive one.

Muscle Car Spotlight: 1987 Buick Grand National GNX

Since the 215 Grand Nationals produced in 1982 to commemorate the success of reigning NASCAR Grand National series champion Darrell Waltrip, Buick made refinements to its last RWD body on frame coupe from an era that was rapidly fading into history.

2020 Kia Telluride Review: Kia Goes Big with Telluride

Bigger is better, right? From houses and cell phones, to American waistlines and consumer debt, everything keeps growing. So too does our everyday vehicle choice, with the midsize crossover reaching ever larger sizes. VW’s Atlas, Subaru’s Ascent, and now the Kia Telluride all tell the tale of limited success with limited size, therefore a larger size should lead to larger success, right? ...

Jeep Gladiator Review – Are You Not Entertained?!

Enter the 2020 Jeep Gladiator before a cheering crowd. Cue Russell Crowe screaming “Is this not why you are here?!” Er, sorry, we’ll lay off the Gladiator quotes (a bit).

After winners like the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart, the Fiat 500L that no one bought, and Alfa Romeos that ...

1970 Chevy Chevelle Ss 454 Muscle Car Review

1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Classic Muscle Car Review

As any muscle car enthusiast will tell you; 1970 was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.

Critical mass was reached by 1970 when insurance premiums brought too much pain to consumers’ ...

The Corvette C8 is Mid-Engine Masterpiece

Since 1953, Corvettes that have made it into production have been two things: Front engine-rear wheel drive, and relatively affordable. Since 1959, designers and engineers in the young program have flirted with the idea of sticking the motor behind the driver. Many design studies, from Chevrolet Experimental Research Vehicles (CERV), to open wheel racer development vehicles, the ‘Vette has ...

Best Cars That Need A Manual Transmission

Best Cars that Need a Stick

Since pretty much forever, vehicles in the US offered a manual transmission in every model built. It was so common, the manual trans was known as “standard” shift, since it was the default choice.

Everything from high-end sports cars to base model economy crapcans are doing away ...

Is the Range Rover Velar Style over Substance?

Porsche 911 GT3 RS Review: Little to Complain About

The other day, while working on a review of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, a couple of little guys came by the driveway and stared at it. After a time, the kids started running around yelling “VROOM!

Lincoln Navigator L Raises the Bar for Big Luxury SUVs

The other day, we had a chance to look closely at the 2019 Lincoln Navigator. It is one of the largest – if not biggest – full-sized SUVs on the road. Yes, the GMC Yukon and the Chevy Suburban and Ford Expedition are big SUVs, but the Navigator-L still stands out at the top of the ladder. There are two members of the Navigator family, the standard and the L, which stands for, as you might ...

Great Cars You Can Still Buy with a Manual Transmission

There’s a lot of doom and gloom in the automotive press about the end of the manual transmission. Automakers are obsessed with gas mileage, EVs, and autonomous vehicles, so there’s a certain sad logic to the stick shift eventually going away. Still, that kind of thinking ignores the great options available right now. While there are currently 40 new vehicles offering a manual in the US, ...

Why You Need an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

The first time you drive the DBS Superleggera it takes you by surprise. You expect it to be good, the DB11 has something of the feel of a well-tailored suit. The DBS is like finding out the suit is being worn by a heavyweight boxer. Use the 12 cylinders to their full potential and gearing up through the transmission with the wheel mounted paddles results in a crescendo of noise. And ...

The Marvelous 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63

Just one month after unveiling the 2019 G-Class, Mercedes dropped the first AMG iteration of the model during the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. However, if at the time the G 63 AMG was just sitting there to be admired, now it was time to actually see what the timeless design off roader is actually capable of.
