Drove an RX-8 through college. First off, let me say I went to LSU and south Louisiana winters are pretty much just a stiff cool breeze and everything green is dead.

This is interesting. I know in all Hyundai commercials here in America it's pronounced "hyun-deh" as you say, but when I was vacationing in London a couple months ago I saw a few Hyundai spots there and they all pronounced it "hi-YUN-die". Does Hyundai approve of their name spoken differently even between…

Audi called, they want their trapezoidal grill back.

That they do. Mainly just speaking to the fact that the engine bay of a truck is, well, large.

I was merely speaking to the space available under the hood - so I suppose not 100% meeting the qualifications of the story. The 4.8L had plenty of power, no complaints with that.

I used to drive a 2003 Silverado with the 4.8L V8. Probably just chalk it up to being a truck, but you could have fit 3 of those engines in the engine bay.

It's a font called Klavika. Fun trivia, it's one of the couple fonts ESPN uses for all of their graphics, it's also the font used by Chevy for all their marketing a couple years ago.

As someone who works in an auto ad agency that does only Tier II and Tier III work with a sizeable number of our clients in Texas, I can say that Texas has the most stringent automotive laws of any state we work with (we're in 12 states, all southern) or have worked with.

We get winter gas here in south Louisiana, it just doesn't arrive until...around now. I'm betting you probably get it in Texas, as well.

Here in southern Louisiana, it doesn't get very cold here, either. It was over 80º today. But, I noticed this week gas went from 3.17 to 3.05 in a matter of a day or two all across the city. Methinks we just got switched over to the butane-infused variety.

I work for an ad agency that does a lot of regional automotive ad work - while we don't need to shut down roads for what we do (rolling footage through cities/towns usually just requires a lead vehicle with a camera out the the back, plus city traffic adds to the shot), we also have that barebones $1m policy. I don't…

I can attest to brake repairs..especially if you own an import (notably from Germany) and are wary. Local Audi dealership quoted me $525 for a front brake job (pads & rotors) for my 2007 A4. A quick trip online netted me OEM pads & rotors for $175 with shipping. Add in a long Sunday afternoon with a buddy and I came…

The marketing actually helped me. My wife likes Chris Hemsworth (attractive tall male with English accent who knew women liked those) so she wanted to go see it.

State regs already exist in some cases (if not all, not versed on the rest of this fine country), in Louisiana headlights can't be any higher than 5.5 ft. off the ground. Thus why some of the ridiculously high lifted trucks down here have separate headlights mounted down on the suspension (it looks every bit as…

My old man bought a 1979 Corvette back in the late nineties. We got it home and found this odd little rocker switch coming out of the battery compartment. One quick flick and – pink neon cloud. Not only did it have neon underbody lights, they were pink. Bright. Pink.

My wife bought these for her car. I drive her car when we go out. I told her if she ever wanted me to drive us around in her car those would never go on it. They're still sitting in a box.

Most streets in uptown New Orleans. Not only are there potholes every 6 inches, they seem to hide from you. You'll be driving along, then BOOM. HEY GUY HOPE YOU DIDN'T WANT THAT CONTROL ARM ANYMORE.

I can't go outside of my office in south Louisiana without seeing nineteen of these. I'm generally a fan of large SUVs, but these are huge, bloated, and unattractive in my opinion. They are like a plague in these parts. I think it's the #1 seller actually at the local Infiniti dealer.

From what Nissan would like us to believe, the Altima Coupe will not be missed. It’s done after 2013, likely because no one bought it. Which is odd, because I keep seeing them everywhere.

I guess it's not really the upcoming 2014 Corolla if it's already on dealer lots? Because it is. Woohoo for soft launches.
