Most of the time I am a genial fellow. Laidback. Not particularly quick to anger. Polite towards my fellow man.
Except, on occasion, when behind the wheel.

Start-up EV automaker Rivian has been accused by a former employee of having a “boys club” atmosphere while she worked there.
Laura Schwab, who was in charge of sales and marketing, claims the company has a “toxic bro culture” that led to mistakes being made, and when she pointed it out, she was fired.
The 2022 Volkswagen Golf R remains a potent backroad weapon – almost too potent. I came to this conclusion while driving part of North Carolina’s famed Rattler highway. The Golf R, one of the hottest of hot hatches, was making me feel a bit like a superhero thanks to stout brakes, the ability to […]
I’ve long struggled to understand the existence of four-door hatchbacks that are called “coupes” (to me, a coupe has two, not four, doors), have sloping rooflines, and are typically sold by import luxury brands. I struggle a lot less when one is hopped up on the vehicular version of steroids.
Kia’s current tagline is “movement that inspires” and while I am not sure if the 2023 Kia Sportage will be inspiring, exactly, it will catch your attention.
“You don’t need it, but you’ll want it.” It’s a common refrain when discussing bonkers performance vehicles, particularly ones that are based on family haulers. I’ve said a version of that a time or two in reviews I’ve written here and elsewhere. But some cliches are cliches because they’re true. On the other hand, […]
The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is here.
And on paper, it appears to be bad-ass in ways worthy of the Z06 designation.
Ford and General Motors are both slated to show their third-quarter earnings reports on Thursday.
Reports suggest that despite the negative impacts of the global semiconductor chip shortage, there may be positives for the companies, as well.
The same forum that told us to anticipate the order bank opening for the 2022 Ford Lightning next week is now saying “not so fast, my friend” (apologies to Lee Corso).
We are constantly making decisions as we all hurtle through this life toward a destination unknown.
Sometimes these decisions turn out to be the “correct” decision, however “correct” is defined within the relevant context. Sometimes it’s the opposite.
The problem is that while the outcome of our decisions is sometimes obvious – I know when I order that one more beer that I’m kicking a payment of minor pain down the road to tomorrow – sometimes, the outcome isn’t foreseeable. Especially when you’re making a decision that feels correct at the moment (and defensible in hindsight), and yet a nasty surprise is just seconds away from smacking you in the face.
In other words, sometimes you make a decision that seems correct, seems low risk, one that others would agree with – and it still all goes to hell.
When I wrote my 2022 Ford Maverick review a month or so ago, I didn’t know the mpg of the hybrid version.
No one did. Because it wasn’t finalized yet.
Now, it has been.
A report from one of our corporate parent’s forums suggests that orders for the Ford Lightning may open up next week, on October 26.
That’s based on a message left to a forum user by a Ford salesperson.
Minivans are rarely sexy, but that won’t stop companies from trying to make them attractive, with varying degrees of success. The gang in Auburn Hills decided that eye-pleasing design might help the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid capture sales. With that whole “hybrid” thing thrown in for a good measure of green cred. The approach mostly […]
The next Honda Civic Si is here, and on paper, it seems to keep the flame going nicely.
Not just in terms of performance specs, but also in terms of how the Si tends to differentiate itself from other Civics. This Si appears to be similar to the previous-gen car in terms of how it’s set apart from the lineup.
