I just purchased a used BMW 3 series. When I looked at the dealer website, the car looked clean, really nice and ready to roll. However when I got there, the insides were filthy. I mean like someone covered themselves in grease, rolled in the dirt and then ground that into the leather. I thought for a second it was a…

Years ago I had a Hummer H1, which is really quite rare to see on the roads. But at a gas pump, holy crap. Pictures, videos, etc. I got so sick and tired of the old Hummer joke ("how many gallons per mile do you get with that thing?"), that I would cut off the questions with if you can't afford the gas (or diesel in…

It's not fair, one is an airplane that was used to win wars and proved itself in battle. The other is a car that only exists on paper, no one owns one yet and it doesn't have it's battle scars. We should wait a few years and see the wins chalked up by the SRT Hellcat. For all we know, the SRT Hellcat could end up…

Jezzer seems to to do just fine with just a hammer.

I kind of feel sorry for the handful of people who did the pay the full $75k for the car. The depreciation on that car is going to be pretty big now.

A few years ago I bought a new Dodge Challenger and while the performance of the car was phenomenal, the radio wasn't. The radio would "lock up" and stop working, displaying random vertical lines that looks like the touch screen unit had just burned out. It took a total of 5 trips back to the dealer where they kept…

I was recently at my local MV Agusta dealer, just outside Boston, to admire (and ogle) over the beauty of the MV Agusta bikes. There sure know how to make a mechanical piece of sculpture. I'd rather stare at one of their bikes than ride it :)

I lusted for a Triumph GT6, same tiny sports car body but with an inline 6. The only problem is I am convinced that they came pre-rusted hulks or in hundred of pieces for the owner to put together. I have yet to see one all put together with my own eyes.

What about the little British sports cars? The MGB, the triump spitfire, tr7, etc. those are all fun cars to own and drive, until they break down.

It's not just you, it's the fact that most dealers are stupid, plain and simple. Here is a case in point. I am extremely successful and currently own 5 cars and a motorcycle. I just went to look at a Viper GTS at a Chrysler dealer near me (thinking maybe I could trade in one of my vettes, a '13 grand sport…

I'm also a gearhead, a woman and a mechanical engineer, and not really much of an environmentalist. I'm on a life mission to drive as many cars as possible and I am succeeding. Over the last 10 years I have upped my personal mpg footprint because more money in my pocket is more shopping money, it's as simple as that.…

You should also legally change their name to Nancy too so we will all know who they are :)

Massachusetts has unbelievably strict laws regarding emissions, and yet for the life of me I cannot understand how the yankee rednecks up here keep getting inspection stickers every year. There are sites and youtube videos dedicated to removing the exhaust and all emission controls from a diesel truck to put in a…

I'm starting to wonder if some people are using the concept of a recall in order to get free vehicle repairs. Seriously if you live in the north and drive a truck and you know there will be salt on the road, then why not climb under the truck from time to time to see if everything is okay? I had a Hummer that was…

What if like me, I have both a convertible vette, a coupe vette AND a BMW. What does that make me? Confused? Greedy?

I just think it's hilarious when I drive to work in the morning and watch the people in "hybrid" cars going anywhere between 90-100 mph on the highway, passing cars left and right. That ticket is going to hurt. I had a guy try in a Ford fusion trying to goad me into racing me in the C7 a few weeks ago. Since I drive…

Yes this is all fine, BUT, is it really going to be able to effectively use all of the horsepower? Or is it just a straight line only go like hell muscle car? I think it's an awesome time we live in when it's possible to own a 200mph muscle car that can be bought from a local car dealer. There's going to be a lot of…

I've seen that car before on Route 91 near New Haven. It was moving along at a nice rate of speed but not recklessly. I guess there luck just ran out. I am pretty sure that this car may have also been featured in a Discovery TV show that aired a few years ago called "The Secret Club of Speed" about a group of CT…

Lancia would be my pick. The funny thing about Toyota racing is that they race, race, race and what does the public get in return? A gas sipping smug-mobile (the Prius)? I don't understand the purpose of Toyota racing. They make the largest array of ordinary, plain old cars. There getting to be as ordinary as…

It might be more fun to drive around, but the people I know, the people I work with, who drive exotics do not own vipers. The question I always would like to know is why? What is it about that one car that turns people away and into other brands.
