Going Automatic: The Increasing Decline of Manual Transmissions in the U.S.
It would have been early August, and I’m guessing somewhere around 1991. My family was on a camping trip in Richmond NH, and my father and I broke away to a dirt backroad where he would let me practice driving. I wouldn’t be eligible for my license for another two-and-a-half years, but our family had […]

Selling Used Cars, One Step at a Time
When you’re selling your old car it can often be difficult to decide on a price. Of course, you want to make as much as you can, but it’s a delicate balance. You can’t charge too much, or you’ll never find a buyer. You don’t want to charge too little either, or you could end […]

Does the GMC Sierra 2500HD Beat Out the Ford F-250?
As of late, it feels like most of the discussions regarding one truck’s offering versus another’s dances around (the ever one-upping relationship between) Chevy’s Silverado 1500 and Ford’s F-150.

Dump Trucks and Cool Construction Vehicles (6 Great Examples)
It’s probably fair to say that most people don’t have much experience with construction vehicles beyond their childhood toys.

Revisiting the KIA Stinger (Is it as Exciting as We’d Hoped?)
Admittedly, I’d have spent most of my adult life laughing if you told me that I’d be interested in getting behind the wheel of KIA.
