The Malibu let the Accord in and the Rest is History

The mid 1970s was a time of transition for the American automobile market. For years the cars built by our domestic brands were large and imposing, giving us vehicles that offered massive size and weight but did very little to adhere to the new emissions and fuel regulations.

Chevrolet had Two Recent Champions in Homestead

The Homestead-Miami Speedway is the home to the final weekend of racing for the NASCAR series each year and is where the champions are born. This year, a likely and long-time champion was crowned once again, but in a fashion that he hadn’t experienced in the past. Jimmie Johnson, driver of the number 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet SS won the Sprint Cup Series but under different rules he had dealt with in the past. As a six-time previous champion, the changes that NASCAR has made, have made it more competitive to the end and no longer just a matter of amassing points or position. (more…)

The Off-Road Enthusiast 4×4

We’ve talked often about driving purists and how much they tend to hate the automation of everything, even so much as to want the manual transmission to live on much longer.

Their complaints are more about terrain assistance technology which makes it so their vehicles do a vast majority of the work in an off road setting, taking the control virtually out of their hands.

Any Sign of Weakness can Cause and Attack

Watch the nature shows on TV and you will see exactly what happens when an animal is targeted a prey and shows a sign of weakness. As soon as its back is turned or its defenses are down the predator strikes and strikes hard causing severe injuries to the victim which often results in the death of the prey. This is the natural order of things in the wild regardless of how gruesome it may seem and is even an example of what can happen in the business world when one competitor falls from their platform.
