First Aid Kit
Hold them at race tracks. Allow for test drives around the track (assuming you have a license and insurance). Bring out a couple of the brands racers and have ride-alongs. Have an area with food trucks that actually have something better than the usual convention center crap. Maybe even a go-cart area for the…
Well, my 2013 Ram 2500 Mega Cab Laramie let me down (Cummins, 6MT). Had the wipers quit on me (2nd time) while driving in a rainstorm. At the same time, half the right front turn signal LEDs quit, and an ABS sensor quit (which also disabled cruise control). On the way to get all that fixed, the power steering system…
Excited? How about intrigued? I’m interested to see what the Toyota Crown we’ll be getting in the US will be like once I can see it up close and personal like.

It’s great to see someone actually using their antique, even if it is only…
Weather Tech floor mats. Keeps all the crud and grime out of the floor. Take them out, spray down with tire cleaner, hose off, dry, and they’re back to looking like new in about 5 minutes of work. No damp carpeting in the vehicle, no mold, no mildew. Yes, they cost a bit more, but totally worth it.
Pick a cookie-cutter SUV/CUV, any one. They are all so cut from the same mold as to be impossible to distinguish from the side profile. They are the very definition of “meh”. The people who drive them go 90 on the straight, then slow to 35 in a turn because the thing leans and terrifies them. They sit in the left lane…
Came here for this, was not disappointed.
You’re all wrong. The correct answer is the brain of the driver. The problem is that with all of the electronic nannies in cars today, the generation of drivers coming in today have no idea what to do in an emergency because they believe the electronic driver aids like traction control, anti-lock braking and whatnot…
