Does Ford Need Suggestions for the New Bronco?

We have heard the announcement that a new Bronco to start the sixth-generation of the awesome SUV will begin by the year 2020, but Ford has yet to give us any idea of what this new vehicle will look like. With this ever so slight hesitation in Ford the folks at Bronco6G.com have come up with several different looks they think will make a huge difference and be the Bronco we all want to see on the road. From what I can see they certainly aren’t far off at all, let’s take a look at their idea of what this new version of one of our old favorites will be. (more…)

Sleeping Their Way to Success

What is a “sleeper”? In most cases this is a person or a product that ends up giving a performance that greatly outdoes the expectations of the market or industry. In the automotive industry there are many sleepers that look like they might do well, but little is actually expected of them. What happens when these sleepers start to become the leaders in sales and on the market, the manufacturer has to scramble to keep up with the demand, but certainly is able to be giddy about the unexpected success of one of their products. Here are some cars that were deemed sleepers over the past several years. (more…)

The F-150 Black Ops; The Baddest Truck on the Road or Off

We all have already admired the newest F-150. Taking a lighter design build and making a rugged and tough truck was no easy task, but what they churned out has been something amazing for us to admire and enjoy. This new F-150 has taken a beating and has kept on coming, surpassed the off road and work truck expectations and even shown that it can be transformed and featured in a variety of ways not unlike the Mustang which is one of the most often altered cars each year; surpassed the off road and work truck expectations and even shown that it can be transformed and featured in a variety of ways not unlike the Mustang which is one of the most often altered cars each year.

Will it be or Won’t it be?

Whether that’s a mock of Shakespeare’s famous quote or simply a happy accident is hard for me to determine but the subject today is whether or not a car will become a classic in several years. Typically a classic car has to be at least 25 years old, but for the interest of a real classic it also has be to be one that is desirable and brings a bit of charm form the era it was made in. With cars these days made almost to be disposable after a few years it’s interesting to discuss whether or not some are meant to become classics. Someday our future generations will be able to say “they sure don’t make them like they did in 2015 anymore”; let’s look at some vehicle they might be talking about. (more…)

Sometimes You have a Piece of History

In today’s world we have the ability to look up and verify nearly everything in history as long as it has been subjected to being entered into the Internet somehow, which is one massive data bank. How many remember encyclopedias? That was the Internet for my generation, but I digress. This verification of historical data applies to nearly everything from genealogy to automobiles as long as you know what to look for and can find the documentation to back it up. This was certainly the case with an original from the past that had a bit of an unexpected history. (more…)

When You still Want to Shift

For many years the idea of driving a sports car with an automatic transmission was laughable. These transmissions were capable of taking the shifting off our plates but couldn’t give us the fuel mileage we would get from a manual and certainly couldn’t give us the performance we desired. That has all changed and now more cars are fitted with automatics than ever before because they are now made to deliver better fuel mileage and certainly can shift faster and smoother than we can ourselves. Even with that thought, if you want to enjoy a manual transmission and handle the shifting duties yourself, here are twenty cars that still allow you to do so. (more…)
