Jinba Ittai to Itasha: JDM Lingo to Know
Anyone who has spent enough time around true gearheads knows that the automotive world has its fair share of jargon. From “hooning” around with friends to giving your ride a “dab of oppo,” modding the “end can” on your “tuner” to firing up the “four-banger” or switching out the” slushbox” on your “sleeper,” these slang […]

Chip Shortage Continues to Challenge GM
As you might already be aware, there’s a semiconductor microchip shortage (often simply called the “chip shortage”) going on right now.

However, with a lot […]
James Bond Just Designed A Car Based On James Bond
Outside of a few questionable vehicle choices in Pierce Brosnan flicks, James Bond has always and will always drive an Aston Martin (why on earth the producers decided to put Brosnan’s 007 into a German-built BMW is more than just a head-scratcher). Aston Martin and the British secret agent go together like cookies and milk. […]

Why the NEW KIA Telluride Steals the Spotlight
Considering the amount of time that we spend around here, sifting thanklessly through the latest and greatest in automotive news headlines, it would be dishonest if we acted like it wasn’t sort of a ‘mixed bag’. Walk through our offices, take a poll, establishing each employee’s automotive preferences and you’ll find little overlap. Collectively, we […]
C’mon ’21’! Waiting (Not-so-Patiently) for the TRX
When it comes to keeping an eye on current auto news, we all have our favorite headlines we look for and follow as they progress. For me, it’s no real surprise that my attention has stayed true to my MOPAR roots in 2018, focused primarily on Dodge’s intoxicating Hellcat, ground-shaking Redeye and (of course) RAM’s […]

Current Auto News – Automotive State of the Union
Keeping up with the onslaught of current auto news headlines can be daunting, especially when you consider that 2018 seems to be simultaneously straddling two conflicting paths. Of course, the industry is fulfilling the longstanding prediction of an inevitable decline in sales, and yet, it’s hard to argue the point that it also stands on […]
GM Defense Division Gains Traction
To the general population, General Motors is little more than an umbrella name under which some of the most recognizable domestic brands were formed, and gain continual momentum. But once we step outside the normalcy of encountering Chevy, GM, Buick, and Cadillac on our daily commutes (or finding ourselves behind the wheel of them), it’s […]
