The new Land Rover Defender is a great machine. It's priced well, can go anywhere, and manages to blend its heritage appeal with modern styling and interior tech. I truly enjoy the time I've spend driving one and have honestly played the money game in my head to figure out ...

Some guy I know... let's call him Geoff. Let's say he allegedly got a ticket for rolling through a red light while making a right turn. The ticket for doing that is likely expensive and adds points to a driving record. That means a potential rise in car insurance prices ...

Son of a bitch, they did it! That was my first thought when the Twittersphere launched word that Lexus has stuffed a 5.0L V8 into the Lexus IS. You'll notice immediately that this is not a new IS F, but it does have the same naturally aspirated V8 that you'll ...

The Red Pig is one of my favorite cars. Full stop. It's a racing Mercedes-Benz sedan that managed to snag 2nd place overall (1st in class) at the 24-hour of Spa back in 1971 and helped kickstart the AMG brand. The Mercedes Classic Center built a recreation of that car, ...
