/
/
comments
The R-badged version of the Volkswagen Golf is turning 20 years old this year, which means they launched the Mk4 R32 way back in 2003! It was always a bit of an odd duck in the VW lineup sitting above the GTI and featuring a bigger engine and AWD. For the 2012 model year the…

/
/
comments
The 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is one of the most irresponsible vehicles on sale today, and that’s meant as a compliment. Nobody needs to transport themselves and five passengers at the rate this thing can, and the consequence of a wildly shouty 6.2-liter supercharged V8 making 710 horsepower in a vehicle that weighs 5,575…

There’s something comforting about an old favorite that’s familiar to us. It could be going to a local restaurant that hasn’t changed its menu in thirty years. It might be heading out on the same family vacation to the same spot you’ve gone to for twenty years. Good and simple things that make us happy…
