While the Big 3 have certainly made their mark building outstanding pickups and full-size SUV’s, when it comes to the subcompact segment, the Detroit automakers have fallen fairly short. The first of the three to offer an impressive contribution to the segment in recent years was FoMoCo, with the launch of the Ford Fiesta. Chevy [...]

Whenever anyone thinks about America and the automobile industry, one of the first things that should pop-up into mind is the pickup truck: an automobile that is synonymously iconic to our culture like the small roadster is to Great Britain or the executive saloon is to Germany. And when anyone thinks of a pickup truck, [...]

Let’s take a quick trip back in time to the 1960s and early 1970s. A time when a gallon of regular hovered just around the 30-40-cent mark and its primary additive was tetra-ethyl lead. It was a time where conservation and efficiency were afterthoughts and a man’s wealth was determined by the size of their [...]

But over the last decade or so, the Ingolstadt brand has been making a huge statement for themselves. It’s one that tells the world that they’re not to be taken lightly and that other [...]

And I thought this while playing the juvenile game with a couple of friends and trying to mack it with the girl sitting next to me – I guess this reassures [...]

Having expectations for a Toyota Camry is like expecting a bowl of pudding to rock your world…it just really doesn’t happen. That’s because when car enthusiasts think of the Toyota Camry, they immediately default to “appliance, white good,” but most of all: boring. However, Toyota Camrys of the past have charmed in their own individual [...]

As the television blew up about the arrival of hurricane Irene, I sat there, staring into space, reminiscing about my past car ownership experiences.
