The Corvette E-Ray Redefines What We Expect From a Hybrid
I remember well the rise of electric cars and hybrids in the early 2000s. While electric vehicles of some sort have been around for over a century (the first, created in 1889, was essentially an electrified wagon), quite a few manufacturers tried to make them more mainstream around the turn of the millennium. They promised […]
How Does the Nissan Z Compare to the Camaro?
Full disclosure: I was very tempted to name this piece, “Nissan Z and Chevy Camaro, How Do They Compar-o?” but sense and reason won out in the end. Now that’s out of the way, let’s talk about sports cars because it’s one area in which the auto industry is always pushing the envelope and creating […]
Is the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse Better Than the 2023 Mustang Mach 1?
The Mustang is a performance car that’s been around for quite some time.

Toyota Is Turning Heads With Its Sports Car
Stepping into a sleek sports car feels great, and driving it feels even better. The way it leans into a curve and pushes you into your seat as you depress the gas pedal makes you feel united to the car. The 2023 Toyota GR Supra is one such sports car. The GR Supra has been […]
Why The 2024 Chevy E-Ray Might Be The Perfect Corvette
When you were a little kid and tried to imagine the cars of the future, you might have pictured something like the Chevy E-Ray. Even today, it almost looks too modern to be real.

Gliding Through the History of the Corvette Stingray
Commonly referred to as “America’s Sports Car,” the Corvette ranks somewhere between baseball and apple pie in the eyes of V8-loving patriots. The Corvette isn’t just an American icon—it’s also the only two-seat sports car still produced in the good old U-S-of-A, delivering true American muscle to thrill-seeking drivers. Built exclusively in Bowling Green, Kentucky—also […]
Could the E-Ray be the True Purist Corvette?
It was a damp and dreary January day at the Milford Proving Grounds in southeast Michigan, where automotive journalists of every stripe were greeted for a first ride in the latest Corvette model.

Most Entertaining Car in the World?
“Miata,” from an Old High German word for “reward,” was Mazda’s answer to the question, “What if we had our engineering teams dogfight each other to develop a car?” That’s a hot take, I know, and more than a bit of a stretch–far from being its inception, that gritty chapter is actually the climax of […]
The Inspirational 2023 Chevy Corvette Stingray
In 1953 the world was a very different place. Khrushchev and Tito rose to power in eastern Europe at the same time that an armistice was signed in Korea. For the first time humans stood atop Mount Everest, and evidence linking lung cancer to smoking was discovered. Color TVs were introduced to the market, costing […]
How the “Father of the Corvette” Created an American Icon
Generally speaking, making a new vehicle is a team effort.

What’s in a Name? Why the Shelby GT500 Is So Very Cool
Truth be told, you probably don’t need to know who Carroll Shelby was in order to appreciate the Shelby GT500. You don’t necessarily have to know the backstory of how Shelby and Ford came together in order to search for a Shelby GT500 for sale. You don’t even need to know about the Ford racing […]
From Sales Flop to Modern Marvel: The Extraordinary Corvette Stingray
Nationwide, every Chevrolet dealer heard only crickets in 1953 when the Corvette debuted, failing to impress drivers as Chevrolet envisioned. The automaker had a lot riding on the Corvette, hoping it would pull the company out of a sales slump. However, the first-generation model was a massive flop, with Chevy selling only 183 models. So, […]
The Fast Side of Ford
Some of the most glorious models in the history of automobile manufacturing have been Fords.

As a car “for […]
A Look at the Chevy Camaro’s History and Possible Future
Although you’ll find a lot of different models at your local Chevy dealer, nothing else has the legacy of power and style that the Camaro does. The Camaro has been around for more than 50 years now, with only a short break, but it would seem that it won’t make it to its 60th anniversary. […]
Mercedes-AMG ONE: Victorious Against All Odds
“The Green Hell,” as Sir Jackie Stewart named it, may be the most demanding track on Earth. There are those which are older, more renowned, or drive faster, but no permanent circuit is longer nor features more varied topography. The Nurburgring is one of the most dangerous tracks in the world, so long and winding […]
Ferrari F50 – the Fine Wine Supercar
Last month, I wrote about a car that was being sold at auction on November 5th, 2022: a 2003 Enzo Ferrari. The car is one of the most special members of a now-dissolved club called the Gran Turismo Collection by RM Sotheby’s. This is a relatively small collection composed of 18 of the rarest and […]
