If you’re like me and do your own wrenching, then one of your first stops before tackling any unfamiliar project is bound to be YouTube to see if there is a how-to video for the task at hand. As a new owner of an old Volvo (more on that another time) one of the best…

comments

You know C’était un Rendez-vous, right? The amazing French director, Claude Lelouch, strapped a camera onto the front of an unconfirmed car and drove through Paris like a hellhound was on his trail.

The North American press recently got their hands on the all-new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. It’s the C7 iteration and it’s a wonderful departure from the previous C6 car.
