I think I have failed as a parent. My kids both prefer the three newest Star Wars films to the original trilogy. Then, when I showed my son the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R SportWagen and said I want one, he informed me I wouldn’t be picking him up from school in a car like that.…

I am often on the fence about the way new cars look until I see them in person. I had the chance a couple weeks back to get up close and personal with a new 2015 Mustang.…

You might recall that back in February Ferrari went official with its next supercar the 488 GTB. The car is dead sexy to look at and if you like to play with configurators, prepare to lose several hours of your day.…

It’s hard for the uninitiated to understand just what it feels like to be in a car driven at race speed on track. Track novices often think they drive really hard on the street and will dominate the track.…

I daily drove a 2013 MX-5 Club Sport for a long time and averaged about 28mpg on the highway. In mixed city use, it was around 24mpg.…

We all know that F1 drivers all have an expiration date. Driving cars with that kind of performance is a young man’s game and the drivers eventually lose enough steps that they can’t be competitive any longer.…

Subaru recently unveiled the 2016 WRX and STI. The cars were all new last year so there aren’t any major changes. However, the company has added some new safety and technology features to the 2016 model.…

Earlier this month, I mentioned that Volkswagen had confirmed that the Golf SportWagen Alltrack will be coming to the US. I have a Jones for that car, I really like the way it looks and wanting a VW isn’t something I would normally admit to.…

I love Amazon Prime, and I make it my goal each year to ensure that Amazon loses money on me when it comes to shipping. This year I stuck them with the shipping charge for a 400-pound wood lathe that was on Prime.…

Being a child of the ’80s, if you say “Lamborghini,” the car I immediately think of is the Countach. This is the car that got me into cars growing up after seeing it on screen in Cannonball Run and hearing that V12 wail.…

One of the things that makes the Camaro ZL1 such a beast on the track is the fancy magnetic suspension it offers. Those fancy dampers are able to change how firm they are in response to the corner and forces placed on the car to make it handle better.…

I am a big fan of the Fast & Furious movies, even if they are unrealistic and we all know that the cars we see on screen are just mules and lack the performance you see in the film.…

If you liked what you saw when the all-new 2016 Nissan Maxima debuted, you will be glad to hear this. Production of the 8th-generation Maxima has now kicked off at the company’s Smyrna, Tennessee factory.…

It’s hard to look at a car like the Ariel Atom with a small four banger out back and understand what you are in for when you get behind the wheel or into the passenger seat.…
