Six Tuners We Want Back

Six Tuners We Want Back

Gas prices are steadily going up, and the government is not only making stricter emission standards but also making the manufacturers meet tougher average mpg figures for their lineup of cars to meet.

IndyCar – A Motorsport Overlooked

Are you into racing?  The majority of the people you ask this to, whether it’s co-workers, friends, or a new acquaintance will say “Not really.”, or “I’m into ball sports more.”  Of the very few that are racing fans, it’s usually NASCAR. At least for Americans. Then even a smaller few enjoy open wheel racing, and usually they [...]

Style to Move Jeep Forward

Style to Move Jeep Forward

If Sergio Marchionne were taking time out from running an automobile empire to record a rap tune, he might begin with the phrase “haters gonna hate”.

Three Flavors of Italian – The Three Sportiest Fiat 500s Driven

  Since its introduction 5 years ago, the Fiat 500 has surpassed one million vehicles sold worldwide.  It’s going into its second year in the US and sales here are just a fraction of that.  Fiat is hoping to change that by expanding our 500 line-up.  In 2012, they introduced the Abarth, which sold out [...]

Beware: Performance Police Cars Roam the Streets

Attention all youths driving civic hatchbacks with loud exhaust!  Your days of front wheel drive burnouts and general ricing about may soon be over.  The Police are slowly waving goodbye to Crown Victoria Interceptors, which compared to these new tuned models was rather boat-like.  Not to strike too much fear into the hearts of the [...]
