While most surveys will indicate that Colorado drivers tend to favor the likes of Subaru Outback, Toyota Camry, Chevy Silverado of Ford F-150 it’s hard to argue an inexplicable link between Jeep and the Colorado lifestyle. Considering the tendency of Coloradans to make the most of the natural wonders that surround them, it makes sense […]
Author: Jason Cook
Coming from a long line of mechanics and truck drivers, it was inevitable that Jason would find his own way into the auto industry. A childhood spent at car shows, teen years spent doing demolition derby, and a foray into drag racing would leave him with an enduring love of classic muscle cars that he’s never been able to shake off.
Why I Dig The Range Rover Velar
Let’s get this out of the way. I fully acknowledge that I’m among a minority of people who have never found themselves enamored with Land Rover offerings. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always respected the Range Rover and its ilk, as well as their fusion of versatility and luxury. Unfortunately, the overall styling has done […]
Back From the Abyss: Ford’s Resurgence as “One to Watch”
Whether you count yourself among tried the true Ford loyalists or are more of a casual car-buyer open to whatever offering catches your eye, it’s worth noting that Ford seems to be enjoying the early days of (for lack of a better word) a Renaissance.

The Real Reason You Won’t See Me in a Maserati
Those moments when I feel inclined to seek out Maserati for sale, four words come to mind: “Fat, underachieving, no frills…” No, these aren’t the words chosen by an ex-girlfriend to describe me (that I know of, anyway…). It is how WWE Superstar and charismatic pitch-man John Cena described his 2013 Maserati GranTurismo C-MC Stradale. […]
How to Get the Car You Want. Faster. Cheaper. Easier.
Somewhere in the U.S. (let’s say Columbus) someone’s looking to buy a car. They’re researching makes and models, dissecting their budget, and doing all the things that consumers do in order to feel empowered. The result? They decide to look into pre-owned cars, both in terms of better fitting their budget, but also because it’s […]

The Awesomeness of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
Damn you, Jeep. First, you build a legion of followers across generations of bare bones, no frills, down and dirty off-roaders. Then, you embrace the fact that you’ve built the perfect platform for aftermarket upgrades (making Wranglers the adult equivalent of a Transformer). All of this while you expand your offerings to include more accessible […]
The Best SUV (From an SUV-Hater)
On more than one occasion, I’ve been open about my general disdain for crossover and SUV styling. So, when asked for my thoughts on the Best SUV being offered up for the 2018 model year, I’ll be honest…my initial response would normally have been ‘meh’. At the end of the day, I’ll never be a […]

The Grand Perspective on Ford Focus

After all, when visiting a Ford Dealership, drivers might be quick to overlook the potential of a car like the Focus, […]
Is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Suffering from Identity Crisis?
Some cars seem to suffer from an identity crisis, unsure of what it’s supposed to be. Take the 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio – Albany, NY ’s favorite solution to the age-old question of how you turn a boring crossover into a conversation piece. All jokes aside, we’re not picking on Albany (it just happens to […]
Can the Acura NSX Change a Man?
As a kid, I was never really into traditional sports cars. While others were content to stare slack-jawed at posters of Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati, my tastes were a little more domestic. Less Italian passionate and more Detroit steel. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I didn’t have an appreciation for their precision craftsmanship […]
Chevy: Ideal for Dump Truck Upfitting?
The demands and expectations placed upon a dump truck are extreme, to say the least.

A Look at the Maserati Ghibli vs Audi A6
Like many ‘lines in the sand’, the division between coupe and sedan styling has become somewhat ‘dusted over’, as evidenced by many current offerings. One segment visibly influenced by this trend are midsize luxury sedans, with many upmarket automakers serving up a more progressive blend of sport and refinement. Two such examples can be found […]
Why the 2018 Sonata has us saying, “Well Played, Hyundai.”
As it edges nearer to the three-decade mark (in terms of its North American existence) the 2018 Hyundai Sonata carries very few reminders of the incarnation which first hit U.S. roads for the 1989 model year. But that’s not a bad thing, especially in light of the significant redesigns being enjoyed by both this year’s […]
