08 Dodge Challenger »

The latest throwback muscle car is from Dodge and it wreaks of muscle, testosterone, and yes is another lady that makes my pants tight.  Dodge even managed to get the colors right and offer a selection to make anyone feel like a badass behind the wheel of the new 425 horsepower monster.  The new 08 [...]

Toyota Recall Corolla and Matrix »

Personally I’m starting to hate how recall’s are just an expected part of purchasing a new car.  It would seem no matter what manufacturer, you will have at least a few recalls.  Even after manufacturers spend millions of dollars on testing, research, and engineering they can still screw up and need to spend even more [...]

Cutting Cost of Hybrid Technology »

Honda has made a very bold statement and/or goal for their 2009 model Hybrid cars, stating that they plan to cut the technology in half.  This huge cost cut is directly related to what they think will be 50% of what is currently used on their Civic.
Tech-On reports on how Kondo create a much less [...]

Ford Posts Record Quarterly Loss »

It’s a big number and it’s shaking things up in regards to what Ford is planning on pushing off the assembly line.  Ford just announced that it took a quarterly loss of $8.7 billion, citing a big ass drop in truck sales and leases.

Therefore Ford is planning on ramping up production of it’s more fuel [...]

1970 Mustang A Collectors Piece »

Almost any 1970 Mustang can find a loving home nowadays.  These muscle cars were absolutely beautiful in their large lines and nasty power.  Furthermore 1970 Mustang’s were the year of the Boss 302 and Grabber Orange was the color of choice.  It is easy to see why the 1970 Mustang was so popular, even though [...]

New Porsche Cayenne »

Looks like AutoCar.co.uk has spied some pictures of the next generation Porsche SUV, the Cayenne.  I’m not sure if this would be the 2010 Porsche Cayenne or even possibly the 2011 Cayenne, but it looks sharp no matter what.
Maybe I need to move to the UK so I can finally get some first hand photo’s [...]

2009 Toyota Venza »

Earlier in the year Toyota announced the production of an all new Venza SUV.  Toyota was hoping they could bring enough change to the crossover market to make the Toyota Venza appealing, you be the judge.  Obviously this high priced SUV is marketed towards the ‘Boomers’ and well-to-do small families.  I think the new Venza [...]

Photo Keychain Gifts »

If you are like me then you struggle to come up with an idea to get the women in your life gifts.  Often times for me if I get flowers it looks like I’m up to something, so generally that’s a no go.  My wife and I had a daughter about 10 months ago and [...]
