A Cool Part of Your Car

You might not think about the hood of your car much, especially if you drive around in one of the many commuter cars or SUVs that doesn’t require much style or added function of the hood to perform. What’s the purpose of a hood anyway?

Special Edition Models that Aren’t Special

There are times when the special edition model of a vehicle is exciting and makes us want to spend the extra money to be one of the few people who own one. These models are usually built as some form of celebration for the brand and for the model they’re attached to which makes them even more fun to buy. Unfortunately, there are some that leave us scratching our heads wondering what the designers were thinking and also asking who should be fired over such an obviously awful choice.

Faster Formula One Cars

When you see the new Formula One cars on the track this year you’ll see cars that look like they barely slow down in the corners. You couldn’t take your street car, even if it’s a sports car, and do what these cars are doing on the track.

Made for the Trails; Driving on the Roads

Why do we buy luxury SUVs? Is it so that we can have a higher class of vehicle to take on the trails and toss around out in the wilderness? If you’ve ever seen the repair bill for a luxury SUV after its been out on the paths without pavement you’d be shocked and never want to take it on the trails again.

Most of these vehicles are made for the off road adventures but will spend all their time driving on the roads, and that’s exactly where we love them. Here are some of the impressive luxury SUV that make you the soccer parent of your neighborhood. (more…)

Off Road Driving is the Way to Go

We’ve probably all dreamed about heading off the paved paths and checking out the trails and wilderness that’s a huge part of what this country still has to offer. Currently the total percentage of paved roads to land space is less than 0.1 percent which means there’s a large and a lot of country out there for you to explore if you have the right vehicle and the tools needed to do it.

Over the history of our country it’s been well-known those that make the most waves and challenge the way things are currently done end up being villains of the time but become heroes of the history books. Imagine the founding fathers of our country and the fact they were committing treason in the actions they took against the Crown at the time of the Revolutionary War. The idea to abolish slavery in the middle of the 1800s, the organization of labor forces in the early part of the 1900s and the addition of right for women to vote have all been fought for by fighting against the way things have been done in the past.
