2009 Lexus LS460 Review

2009 Lexus LS460 Review

To me, Lexus has always been for elitists – someone who cares way too much about what other people think. They are purchased by those who are willing to grossly overpay for a rebadged Toyota to impress his neighbors and coworkers.
But the Lexus LS460, which was redesigned two years ago, has received excellent reviews from [...]

Ferrari 288 GTOs Gather At Monterey

Ferrari 288 GTOs Gather At Monterey

Nasty. That’s the first word that springs to mind when I see mention of Ferrari’s 288 GTO. It was a car that grew out of the 300 “series” (the 308 of Magnum PI fame, the 328 & 348) and eventually lead to the wicked F40 …which begat the F50 … which lead to the [...]

GeigerCars Chevy Camaro SS Compressor

In general, American tuning companies stick to American cars (Saleen, Callaway,) Europeans stick to European cars (Hamann, Novitec, Edo,) and Asians stick to Asian cars (HKS, Strosek.)
GeigerCars, however, is a German tuning company that modifies mostly American cars. Once they’re out of the Geiger showroom, there is an obvious German touch to the project. The [...]

New Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Drum roll please. Here it is, the new, uber-Porsche, the track car that also poses as a street car on occasion, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Impressive, isn’t it? Well yeah, there’s those wheels – or actually the wheel color, but we can get beyond that (or get new wheels). 450 horsepower can [...]

Approved B20 Diesels Coming Next Spring From GM

Approved B20 Diesels Coming Next Spring From GM

There’s been an interesting trend concerning the use of bio-diesel in newer cars and trucks. It seems, mainly due to warranty concerns, that manufacturers that make diesels, don’t like you to use bio-D right out of the block. For example, in my hometown, one of the largest producers of bio-diesel will not fill up [...]

2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT RS V6 Review

Here it is, the one vehicle everyone has been waiting for: the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.
This single vehicle is not only the most important vehicle to come out of General Motors this year, but the most important vehicle to come from an American-based car company. Why? Because this is the car the entire country has been [...]
