Going After Some Big Names with a Little Car

10.21.16 - 2018 Audi TT RS

It’s not often that we look at a car that won’t even be around for the next model year and have the chance to discuss all the details, but the new Audi TT RS isn’t just any other car. The RS is built to be a model that you want to choose over other names on the market and with the price that’s expected to be around $60,000 those names include the Porsche 718 Cayman, BMW M2 and the Corvette Stingray which all have proven their mettle on the track and on the road to be the giants of the industry they deserve to be.

2017 BMW X4: Creating a New Class of Vehicle

09.01.16 - 2016 BMW X4

Leave it to BMW with all their many series of vehicles to create one that doesn’t fit anywhere. We have SUVs, but the X4 is not that, we have CUVs and it certainly isn’t that either. We even have SAVs with takes the utility out of the equation, but BMW is adamant the X4 is something else entirely. At BMW the X4 is called a Sport Activity Couple or SAC and it makes perfect sense. While the size of this vehicle is only slightly larger than a hatchback the style does invoke the feeling that it may just be a coupe that’s on a platform.

Turning Traffic Tickets into a Humanitarian Effort

07.16.16 - DoNotPay

Many times the most significant agencies that can help people who have been victimized by others are born from some of the simplest ideas and the desire to right what appears to be a wrong. Wouldn’t it be great to have a computerized system that can help us learn what our rights are regarding the simple issue of flight delay compensation but also be able to tackle more complex issues such as the rights of those who are HIV-positive and refugees who flee to a foreign land and need to understand the legal system of that country?

Which Car Would You Rather Have?

05.29.16 - 2016 Hyundai Azera

Sometimes when you compare two items it’s not clear which one is preferred as soon as you look at them. It’s not as if you had to choose between two types of fruit such as apples and oranges, but instead you have to choose the grade of the fruit and on the outside they look exactly the same. When this happens how do you make a choice between the two to make sure you have the better pick and the one that will be the most satisfying and free of any defects, the same is the case with cars that are extremely similar.

Tires; You Don’t Think About Them Until You Have To

05.17.16 - Tires

Most of us drive around on all season tires and are more than happy with the results we get. For the most part we don’t even think about the tires on our car until it’s time to check the pressure, which should be done at least once a month, they appear to be bald, or we experience a flat tire. On a performance car the thought process should be different. You need to think about your tires on a regular basis and if you don’t have an alternative set of summer tires you’re missing out. These tires are great for any cars, not just for the high performance models, but they aren’t cheap. Here are some of the best summer tires to give you the grip in the corners you want during the warmer days of the year.

2016 Chevrolet SS: The End of an Era

03.27.16 - 2016 Chevrolet SS

We have known for some time now that the SS would not be made after the 2016 model year as Chevrolet has pulled the plug on the Australian company Holden. That’s really too bad because this is one car that more of us should have bought and enjoyed driving but because it didn’t fit a specific mold it hasn’t been a vehicle that garnered a great deal of popularity over the years. With awesome power and the bones of the Holden Commodore this awesome car will bid us farewell at the end of this year as the performance sedan that is built to be awesome for the entire family.

The Sporty Ford Focus ST is Exciting and Interesting

2015 Sporty Ford Focus

The Ford Focus ST is the sporty hatchback version of the Focus that gives us an exciting drive.  With a sport tuned suspension and higher end engine the ST is attractive with a sport styling and a low roofline to be a hot hatch that looks like it should be a lot of fun to drive and can handle corners with quickness and agility that isn’t found in even some of the higher end sports cars.  One of the most interesting parts of the ST is the slight bit of history of its tire story and what is offered.
