That’s right — there’s a new Chevy Camaro ZL1 in the works for 2017. That’s exciting stuff, especially since we can expect only greatness after the previous generation ZL1 stole our hearts. It had exceptional performance and smooth handling, and sales of the overall Camaro beat the Mustang this past September. But, what if I […]
For whatever reason, GM and Ford worked on a 10-speed automatic transmission together. With GM being the parent company of Chevy, and Chevy and Ford being bitter rivals in the truck and muscle car market, this is not only hard to believe — but also slightly confusing. Why would these two companies decide to put […]
When it comes to buying used cars in 2016, you have a few different options. You could buy from one of those online car websites, but why on earth would you buy a car without being able to inspect it first? Simply taking someone’s word for it is a bad idea, especially since you’ll likely […]
The new Maserati Levante is here, and it has truly captured the hearts and attention of people from all different walks of life. From the consumer who always dreamed about owning a high-end luxury SUV, to the veteran car reviewer who has test driven and written about more cars than he can count in his lifetime; […]
Obviously, there’s a heavy emphasis on taking care of your vehicle when it comes to maintenance and repairs. But, something many people don’t think about is taking care of the paint on their car. If you do — or have interest in starting, hence why you’re reading this — then good on you! After all, […]
Ah, yes. Maintenance records, a truly unsung hero in the used car market. These are one of the only things I know of that are able to provide you with cyclical value in the automotive world. If you do your due diligence before buying a car by gathering the maintenance records and checking them, it’s going to help […]
I’m sure every self-respecting redneck has already beat me to the punch when it comes to hearing about this truck. But just in case anyone out there missed it, here it is! General Motor Co.’s Chevy and the apparel maker Carhartt, Inc. have teamed up to produce a 2017 Silverado HD concept that has thus […]
While the SEMA show might not be open to the general public, it’s still fun to look at and fantasize about the different concept models featured there. With last year’s show drawing more than 60,000 consumers, it only makes sense that a lot of automakers want to get in on the action this year, and proudly display their […]
Over the years, trucks have changed in more ways than one. Some of them good, some of them bad. Perhaps one of the worst ways they’ve changed is the result of companies making the switch over to aluminum based frames. That’s right, I’m looking at you, Ford. The working men and women who need their […]
By now, many of you have probably seen John Oliver “exposing” how horrible buy here, pay here dealerships are on his talk show. In it, he provides a comical (and quite painful to sit through) explanation of BHPH dealerships, and how they are out to get the consumer. News flash — not all of them […]
Every generation born here in America faces a new set of standards we are expected to adhere to. Luckily for us Millennials, that bar is set comfortably low, allowing us to go about our daily lives as self-involved and entitled as we please. While the Baby Boomers and Generation Xers set their sights on the […]
The Off-Road Expo. Hosted every year at the Fairplex in Pomona, California. This is the place where the hottest Jeep parts for off-roading are displayed by hundreds of vendors, suppliers, and manufacturers. It’s been California’s biggest off-road exposition for years, and 2016 carried on that legacy. While there are too many to count, I’ve been able to […]
How many horror stories or bad dealer reviews have you read online about someone buying a used car, only to find out a week later that it’s a lemon? Or, have something happen they thought would be covered by a warranty, but really isn’t? Therefore, they end up having to pay for the repair themselves. […]
When I think Jeep, I think legacy more than innovation. Sure, the brand has created a considerable range of unique models since the advent of the Wrangler during World War II, but the utilitarian aspect of these vehicles calls to mind reliability, consistency, and an appreciation for the more bare bones beauty associated with the […]
If the internet is a cyber tree of knowledge, then why are people still getting screwed when it comes to buying new cars? There are articles EVERYWHERE advising consumers on how not to get messed with when purchasing a new car. Guess what? Here’s one more! Don’t Take Anyone’s Word for It — Check it Yourself I don’t care if Hagrid […]
With all the choices the automotive marketplace has to offer, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Let’s face it – expectations and technologies remain consistent for automakers and so it’s hard to know how to really differentiate one from another. Safety ratings are regulated, fuel economy is scrutinized and monitored by the EPA, so how do […]
So, the word on the street – or track – is that Hyundai is looking to up its performance game and is doing so by investing some serious time, attention, and bucks into its brand new “N” performance sub-brand. Behold! The RN30 concept vehicle, just a shade of what’s to come of Hyundai’s i30N production […]
Ever heard of getting nickel and dimed for auto repairs? Basically, the expression just means that you’re getting the screws put to you when it comes to paying for necessary automotive maintenance or repairs. We all know that automotive upkeep can be costly, but it shouldn’t be excessive, and certainly not unfounded by the mechanic […]
Moving to the big city usually means a serious downgrade with respect to living space. The concrete jungle – no matter where it’s located – is often characterized by tiny apartments, creative storage spaces, and narrow city streets. Fortunately, there is a wealth of used cars that are ideal for city living and routinely suggested […]
This month marks a very important birthday in the Volvo automobile legacy. Sixty years ago, on September 1, the Swedish automaker unveiled the Amazon, so named after the leggy female warriors first made famous by Greek myths. Despite its Greek name, the Amazon was rather cosmopolitan in that she represented a design blend inspired by […]
