"No real Porsche fans like the Targa," says everyone on the Internet. Good thing I'm not some hung up Porsche fan then, I guess. I've never drooled over or dreamed of owning a Porsche 911. They're wonderful cars, but I typically have visions filled with lumpy V8s. Still, I could ...

Aging is a funny thing, once you're old enough to afford certain things or experiences, you're often too old to enjoy them. Of course age is only a number, and that's a good thing for the 2020 Toyota Tundra. I've reviewed several trim levels of the most recent Tundra over ...

Two friends, their dogs, and a wet lakebed... It was the fourth time the truck fishtailed. The wheel was cranked hard to the left. I was certain the wheels were almost perpendicular to the frame. Yet we moved forward. Until the fishtail pushed the front end left, and the back ...

Just gonna cut to the chase here, I have never seen so many consistently dirt cheap cars online (outside of craigslist) before I looked at used Mercury Cougars. The last generation of this car is just... Well, take a look. Those aren't even the cheapest ones. That six hundred dollar ...

My knowledge of two-wheeled legends is extremely limited compared to what I know about those who pilot four-wheeled things. I'm aware that Valentino Rossi is amazing. I have a t-shirt with Joey Dunlop's face on it, after my brief time at the Isle of Man. He's a hero and a ...

In my next place, I want to have a room that serves as my office/video game-a-torium. Our current condo is a bit too small to deliver such a space. So when I do get that space, I want to decorate it the room to suit my own tastes. This will include ...
