comments
I’m on the wrong side of history. Or at least the way history is trending. Vehicles are getting larger and larger. Look at 2019 where it’s estimated that 70% of new vehicle sales outside of trucks will be SUVs and CUVs. Me? As I get older I like smaller and lighter vehicles. As I write this…

comments
I was waiting for that first really cold day of the season. That cold day is easily identifiable by the glow of the “low tire pressure” light on one’s dashboard. But this year, unlike past years, I welcomed my little idiot light. That’s because I had a new product that I was just waiting to…

It’s a twofer today. We trekked to Napa to sample the all-new 2019 Audi A6 and the 2019 Audi A7. The luxury C-segment is an interesting space. Shoppers below it are pumped to enter the luxury car market, and those buying above are rewarding themselves for doing well financially. In the C-segment, you find people…

Hooniversal Opinion: 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show
/
/
comments
It seems that year after year the Los Angeles International Auto Show gets bigger and bigger. This coincides with the decline in interest in the Detroit Auto Show and the automakers embracing the buying power that is the Los Angeles automotive market. That plus the fact that SoCal is quite a bit nicer than winterized…

The new for 2019 Ram 1500 North Edition just premiered here in the Northeast and it seems to be the perfect vehicle for the…

Breaking Benz: It's not always a wrenching win
/

comments
Wrenchin’ ain’t easy. At least not for me. I find some victories but there’s certainly plenty of defeat as well. And today I’m sharing full-on lameness. I decided to replace the rheostat located on the back of the gauge cluster of my 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280 sedan. This did not go as planned. The W114 Benz…

A Cabin in the Woods: We drive the 2018 Suzuki Jimny

comments
All aboard the hype train! When the all-new, 2018 model year Suzuki Jimny was first teased online and later shown to the world in its entirety, it suddenly became a phenomenon of sorts. The boxy and retro, ladder-frame Jimny, usually seen in the Kinetic Yellow launch color, received near-universal awe and affection just because of…

The numbers are staggering. At the highest level of drag racing, the Funny Car and Top Fuel race sleds are propelled down the strip by 11,000 horsepower monster motors. In just 1,000 feet of tarmac, a Funny Car will reach 320 to 340 miles per hour and needs less than four seconds to do so.…
