I liked the looks a lot too and even put a deposit down on the Polestar C30 in late 2012. After test driving the standard C30 in the rain, I realized the FWD C30 R-Design wasn’t going to handle any better and I longed for an AWD that I test drove earlier. I test drove the 2013 VW Golf R and bought it instead, for…

I can’t believe there is one solid piece for the door handles, watch the guy reach to open the door over and over again and you will realize he is performing two motions. It makes it seem like there is a button on the back of the door handle that he presses first, then pulls the door open. If it were capacative like…

I like minivans too... and as a matter of fact, I like wagons too. There I said it. I bought a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder for my wife when she had to forge West Michigan winters because nurses don’t miss work because of bad weather.

This is a good idea for families that have kids that don’t each have their own phones or tablets, probably not childless couples, and most likely not singles.

At the time Mercedes cars were considered part of “the family” and at some Chrysler facilities could take advantage of the closer parking, until they split, then anyone that had a Mercedes were relegated to the back lots. Before Daimler it was true…

My brother wanted a higher RPM engine with a flat torque curve for his rock crawling Suzuki Samurai, so he put a rotary engine from a 1987 Mazda RX7 in it.

What about the train that flung a piece of metal and sliced Stifler’s head off?

You can build a 2016 Ford Focus right now with a 1.0 Liter EcoBoost 3-cylinder. I think the Ford Focus is at least a little larger than an office copy machine... if only just.

In 2012, I considered buying a VW diesel Golf, but opted for the Golf R instead. Now it looks like I am the environmentally responsible one.
