When something is needed to improve lives and give people new items that will help give them more time back, create a convenient way to perform tasks or to just be better than what is already in production, there needs to be someone willing to find a way to bring the item to the masses. Jeep is an American company that has a global reach with their off road read vehicles that are perfect for tackling nearly every terrain and many companies around the world have taken Jeep models and made something new out of them to fit the performance needs they have.

Sleeping Their Way to Success

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…)

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…)

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Rocks Star: a Marriage of Mopar Parts

We love the Wrangler. That statement is almost as short and to the point as a Jeep press release where they would rather see their Wrangler do the talking for itself rather than tell you all about it. The Rubicon model that made its way to Geneva recently gave Europeans a look at what we enjoy seeing on a daily basis as this Wrangler showed off with awesome Mopar Accessories to make it a Wrangler that is loaded up with goodies to enjoy and with the yellow paint that was chosen, the Jeep stole the show over many other off road competitors, even on a turntable platform.

Four A’s, One B Given to the Jeep Grand Cherokee Car Seat Assembly

SUVs are notorious for having less than stellar ratings for their infant seat compatibility. So much effort is put into designing for comfort that not enough attention is paid to the kids.
