A 0-60 mph time of six seconds is actually considered mediocre in 2017 since a lot of your top-notch performance cars hit 0-60 mph in under 5 (or even under 4) seconds. A 6-second quarter mile time though? You’d tell me that I’m just blowing smoke. Part of me wishes I was, because this is […]
Ever wonder how vehicles like the 2017 Honda Clarity fuel cell are fueled-up? Even if you aren’t interested in buying one, it’s still a pretty cool process to watch. Oh, you’re wondering what a fuel cell vehicle is? Thanks for asking! A fuel cell vehicle is a type of vehicle that runs on hydrogen, powered […]
A new 2017 Volvo V60 makes a nice car for many reasons, but here are the three that really stand out the most. First, the V60 has the practicality of a station wagon, but without the lackluster looks. Personally, I like station wagons. I find them useful. But, I know many people prefer a slick car over a practical one, […]
When shopping at a used car dealer, the threat of stumbling on a dealership that has a lemon car (or five) lurking in the shadows is real. What’s a lemon? For those who don’t know, a lemon is a car that can be new or used, and has a substantial defect that the manufacturer is […]
Bad credit? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one struggling. But you do have to decide between either pursuing a car loan or simply going to a buy here pay here dealer for in-house financing. Both sides have their ups and downs, but if your credit is bad, chances are you’ll have a hard time getting […]
Off-roading isn’t exclusively a Jeep thing — no matter what the fanboys will tell you. There are other SUVs on the market that can brave the rocks and woodland trails, and there are also trucks. Especially Rocky Ridge custom-built trucks, specifically, a Rocky Ridge Silverado model. Don’t know much about Rocky Ridge Trucks? Don’t worry, I’ll […]
If you’re a business owner, chances are you’re looking for commercial vehicles that are able to do a little bit of everything. Well, if you’re a landscaper, flower shop owner, or own a catering service, there’s nothing that a box truck can’t do to support those fields. Not to mention, there are three immediate benefits you’ll gain […]
Chevrolet has a new creation that’s sure to appease the Gods of Speed and Power: the all-new Camaro GT4.R This bad boy was developed by Pratt & Miller Engineering, the same group that helped the CTSCC Camaro race car smoke down the track. Of course, Chevrolet was there to provide some input as well since […]
Ah, Maserati. Many consider it the epitome of luxury and high-performance vehicles. Others think it is one of the worst companies, and produce the worst vehicles on the planet. But, the heated debate over the brand is pointless in what we’re about to talk about today. Sure, the Gran Turismo is a Maserati vehicle and the […]
Hyundai Motor Group has decided to hire Lee Jin-Woo, a former General Motors researcher, to help oversee its fully autonomous (self-driving) vehicle center. Why a former GM researcher? Well, the fact that he was a former GM researcher is irrelevant to Hyundai. Instead, the brand is interested in the fact that he led the autonomous driving technology development at GM […]
No, this isn’t the same as dumpster diving. For one, it’s legal. Secondly, you probably won’t find anything new in a junkyard, like you could in a dumpster. What will you find? A seemingly endless source of inexpensive car parts and unusual finds. Yes, it might look intimidating. Yes, it might require you to wear some dirtier clothes […]
You might have heard that Hyundai has released an Amazon style “Click to Buy” service over in the UK. Simply put, you go online, buy a car, and have it delivered to your door. There are no dealerships involved, and you don’t even see the car. That’s the basic understanding of it, and we’ll go more […]
Sure, the 2017 Jeep Patriot might saunter along unchanged for this upcoming year. But, it still deserves more credit than people are giving it. Time might not have been kind to the Patriot, considering it’s never received a full redesign since it debuted back in 2007 — 10 years ago. But, that doesn’t mean it’s […]
Some of you probably think using a commercial dump truck as daily driver is a stupid idea. Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t have a commercial-size dump truck then, isn’t it? Because, that would have been a whole lotta gas wasted. Technically, the used Dodge Ram 150 I used to drive was a dump truck because it […]
With 2017 finally here, it’s time to reflect. Not on the holiday season that was full of stress, joy, and mixed feelings about the well-being of any pain-in-the-ass relatives that came to visit. I’m talking about credit scores, and what the beginning of 2017 is going to look like for car buyers. With the year […]
Looking for used cars that last for 10 or more years? Well, I have some information for you, based on a study that iSeeCars did. They ended up throwing together a list of vehicles that most often stay with one owner for a decade or longer. Not only does this mean they are good cars […]
And just like that, Hyundai has a fully-fledged autonomous (self-driving) car. Seemingly overnight. At the Consumer Electronics Show, the place where automakers show off their latest and greatest gadgets (and of course, electronic cars), Hyundai debuted its autonomous version of the upcoming Ioniq. The brand claims its robot-car is going to be much more affordable. How? Because the company said […]
It’s officially happening. Hyundai is now working on the second generation of its Tucson fuel cell-powered SUV. The brand is looking to create an upgraded version of the fuel cell for 2018, and is promising to provide an even bigger range than the 265 miles that was found on the 2014 Hyundai Tucson on a full tank. In […]
2017 is off to another great start in the automotive world. Especially when compared to some of the other years we’ve seen. Gas prices are still stable, there are thousands of used cars coming off lease, and the new vehicles being debuted have some of the most advanced technology we’ve ever seen. Things are looking good, unless […]
In 2013, car buyers visited an average of five dealerships before buying a car. In 2016, that number has dropped to 1.6. Does that mean interest in buying from car dealerships is declining? Perhaps, but I don’t think so. Sure, the presence of online car-buying websites has increased. But, so has the availability of dealership […]
