I find your comment gross yet relatable at the same time.

What happens if I have anything larger than a backpack as a carry-on and/or travel companions?  I can’t imagine the GT3 is very entertaining at the sub-20 mph speeds on tarmac access ways.

This was back in the late nineties and before the FnF craze and to be honest, the Starion wasn’t even on my radar until my friend showed up in his. Back then, we were obsessed with Lancer Evos and WRXs courtesy of Gran Turismo and of course all the great somewhat affordable sports cars from the 80's and early 90's…

Those are all good points.  Fallout remover is certainly not something I would want to sit on my car for longer than what is recommended by the manufacturer since it can damage the finish.

Anyone who has ever dabbled in DIY car detailing would know that metal fallout is a common issue and affects all cars although it is not as apparent on painted/clear coated vehicles. Metal fallout is small particles of metal from lots of sources (industrial plants, brake dust, trains, etc.) that are carried through…

I know it is not the point of the article, but the Mirai is a great looking car with elegant, sporty proportions and if you swap out the hydrogen powerplant for Toyota’s i-force turbo-4 or TTV6, it would make a great Lexus GS. It is a shame that people only buy SUVs and lifted wagons/hatches nowadays because the…

By and large, Jeep customers are very laid back and fun to deal with

Yeah, I’m thinking the same thing. And in real world use, similar powertrains do not usually get the desired fuel economy for heavier vehicles like this one. It is a shame that diesels are going the way of the dinosaur because a 6-cylinder turbodiesel would be the perfect fit for a heavy, aerodynamically-compromised…

A friend of mine when I used to lifeguard at a summer camp was a car guy with a car guy dad and the two of them built a Starion with over 350 hp at the crank.  It looked awesome with the staggered wheels and widebody kit.  If only one could be had for a decent price today...

Wow, Penn State certainly knows how to pick employees (cough, cough Sandusky and Paterno).

I couldn’t agree more. I managed to replace most of the windows in my house and two furnaces at 0% interest so why not!

This x 1000! Outside of my core group of friends and family who tend to be more modest and conservative with their spending, I see so many people trading in their cars with $300-$400/month payments for ones that cost twice as much. And everyone is always driving around in brand new luxury vehicles!

When I was a kid, my dad took me to the Dodge Motor Coach (it was also the premier Lambo and Lotus dealer in town) near the barbershop where we got our hair cut to go look at Lamborghinis. I asked if we could buy a Diablo or LM002 and my dad told me we could but would first have to sell the house. I then spent the…

Does the TX feel like a true luxury car or just a slightly more upmarket version of the Grand Highlander?

I took the entire center console and lower part of the infotainment system apart in my E39 M5 to replace the coin tray and trim and of course a few months after putting everything back together, one of my cupholders got stuck in the “out” position. Instead of taking everything apart again, I realized that if I apply a…

I finally came to that revelation last summer, when my regular commuter (A7 PHEV) was in the shop for repairs for a long duration in time and I spent a few days a week commuting in an M5 with heavy traffic. My typical commute includes driving to and from Secaucus Junction, the last NJ train station outside of NYC and…

The Buick Avista was eventually made... by Volvo when it became the Polestar 1.

I’m with team BMW. My first one was an X5 diesel and it sits across the carport from a 2002 M5. I can’t bring myself to replace X5 because even though it is 10 years old and has 140K miles on the clock, it has been fairly reliable, easy to maintain, has a modern interior with fully working electronics, and is…

Part of me wonders how someone could be so stupid to plough into the back of a trailer. But another part of me is livid at how brazen landscaping crews are about leaving their vehicles parked in the middle of driving lanes with a few cones haphazardly displayed at the rear. It is especially infuriating in my…
