Yeah, I have a subscription to consumer reports and I did see that. Probably like a lot of car people, my first reaction was to smile. CR definitely has it's pluses and minuses. Luxury brands tend to be at the top of that list each year so it's probably not a stretch to assume there's a...
My "garage queen" is a Chevrolet SS which is really just a rebadged Holden Commodore imported from Australia. These are great cars that few know about, especially with the manual transmission. Even though GM shut Holden down only 6+ years ago in 2017, some parts for these cars are already...
Interesting comments from the readers in that article. The Supra appearance seems to be a car some of us really like, and others really hate. My only concern in buying one would be the BMW reliability.
I had a new vehicle ceramic coated (ceramic pro) in 2017. It was the first time I've done it. I don't think I'd ever buy another new car and not have it done. It holds up well, gives the car a better shine, and dirt basically sprays off with a hose. Highly recommend it.
The main thing I worry about with the Panthers is the ownership. There haven't been a lot of great decisions since Tepper bought the team. I grew-up a Browns fan and withdrew my loyalty when they moved the team to Baltimore. Tepper's tenure so far reminds me a little bit of the current Browns...
How was REO? Thinking about seeing them this year. Over the past couple months we've seen Santana, Journey/Toto and Pat Benitar. We see Robert Plant/Alison Krauss in a couple weeks. You mentioned Rush in a previous post. I've been to a lot of concerts but that is still the loudest concert I've...
Thanks for sharing your journey. We're all car lovers here so it's always interesting to see what people have driven/loved in the past and how they came to their decision on what to purchase. I opened a new bank account two years ago and deposited $25k to start funding a surprise Z for my wife...
You have to wonder how long the SUV market will be the "growth hot spot" for manufacturers. It's been humorous to watch all the high end manufacturers get into this space. I've seen a couple Lamborghini Uros' in Charlotte and definitely nothing I'd ever want to own (or could afford, lol).
It looks like the rumor of Chevy turning the Corvette into a brand rather than just a vehicle in their lineup is coming soon.

I switched to mechanics that specialize in branded vehicle and am much happier with better results. I have a local mechanic that specializes in Mini's/BMW's for my wife's Cooper S and my Honda Odyssey is currently at a mechanic that specializes in Honda/Acura's.
I'm currently looking at an...
I was in Gatlinburg, TN a couple weeks ago and found out there was a big Mustang show while I was in town. I've had a couple GT's in the past. I walked the large outdoor lot in ~ 10 minutes. Two things stood out. #1) a lot of the same thing, just different colors, and they all started to look...
I love the humor in the Throttle House video's and they nailed it when they discuss the appearance of the car. I love the previous M2's but this is an ugly and heavy car.
IMO, the Chevrolet SS and Pontiac G8 markets are solid predicters of longer term used car prices for manual vs automatic cars, especially as we're pushed to EV's.
Not IMO simply because there's really not many differences between the Proto and the standard Z. The only thing that would appeal to me about the Proto would be if I wanted a yellow car.
I followed this on BAT and the person that bought it, bought it for his father so there was also an emotional component to his bidding. The prices on BAT seem to be dropping a little bit but there's still a long way to go to get back to "sanity".
It's a simple 5.5 x 10' flat bed. I have it parked in my driveway. I made the mistake of getting a license plate for it because I occasionally use it to haul materials from Lowes. The state must have notified the county so I received a request for the sales receipt so the county could assess a...
