Ah, the mid-life crisis. The perfect excuse to throw caution to the wind, and indulge yourself in frivolous expenses and the purple highlights you always wanted but didn’t think you could actually pull off. Well, here you are – fifty years old and proudly displaying your violet-tinged hair, and red-bottomed heels from behind the wheel of […]
With the idea of self-driving (autonomous) motor vehicles rapidly becoming more of a reality rather than just a dream — primarily thanks to Volvo — some of you are probably feeling apprehensive. Or, at least, curious to see how they’ll work. Well, there’s always a few people out there who want to take things to the […]
Regardless whether a new or used truck, size matters. No, I’m not talking about how big of a lift you put on your truck. What I’m talking about are the different sizes according to the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the truck. It splits into three classes based on the GVWR: class 1, class 2/2b, […]
The car market has never been so exciting to buy from as it is now in 2016. The used car market is booming and offers plenty of variety, while the new car market offers technology and safety that seems almost futuristic. As far as performance technology goes, that’s been evolving for years. For 2016 in particular, […]
DANGER! DANGER! DANGER! When you set out to buy used cars, you should approach it the same way you would an open lion enclosure at your local zoo – with a healthy level of caution, mixed with a small dose of curiosity. While your initial instinct might have you running for your life, the naturally […]
There is nothing sweeter than passing your first driver’s license test at the ripe age of sixteen, and being handed the keys to your very own car. Spoiled teen drivers from across the United States have been basking in their entitled glory for far too long, but Chevrolet is putting a limit on their madcap fun behind […]
Unless you have been living under a rock, or are otherwise uninterested in the automotive industry, chances are you have heard of the international SEMA Show that takes place in Las Vegas every November. Each and every year, big and small car brands come together, to present their newest and most unique concepts to the world. […]
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 […]
