You might recall that earlier this week I wrote about my life-affirming adventure of taking the cheapest EV in the world to the racetrack. You also may recall that the cheapest EV in the world, the Changli, can only go about 28 miles per charge and tops out at under 25 MPH. This means to get to the track within a…

Dominic has a 2008 Kia Rondo that has treated him well. But now it’s time for something a bit more recent, a car with some modern safety tech so that he can feel more comfortable with his teenage daughter at the wheel. It also needs to be comfortable for taller people but manageable for a new driver. What car should…

A tipster emailed us a photo of a bunch of parked Uber cars in Pittsburgh last week, raising some degree of alarm that perhaps Uber had scuttled its program for autonomous vehicle operation. This was an exciting possibility for a short while, at least until Uber said it definitely was not shutting down the program.

I somehow managed to get my 250,000 mile Chrysler Voyager diesel through Germany’s rigorous TÜV inspection, but that didn’t mean the van was ready for a long European road trip. I still had a serpentine belt to swap, and I wanted to install a new water pump just to be safe. This should have been easy, but instead, it…

It comes as no surprise that a Ford dealer is marking up a Mustang GT500. This happens every time similar cars come onto the market. But what is almost impressive is how exactly they describe their online price.

Colgate fluoride toothpaste, digital games and subscriptions, and Halloween face masks lead Thursday’s best deals.

Hoo boy, day three and we’re already into the dumbest, most annoying kind of question, the one that really doesn’t have an answer. But, here we go: What’s an SUV, as opposed to a crossover? It came up today for the 754th time in my career when Norman asked where I’d classify the new MDX. I said crossover. It’s unibody…

Trump had big plans to boost up the auto industry and it’s gotten the Big Three nowhere. But don’t worry, it’s also come at the expense of American workers, too! All that and more in The Morning Shift for October 15, 2020.

“I told you, my car is green. Green like a scarab. Green like jade, like the jadest jade you’ve ever seen, like a jade egg you might choose to enjoy erotically. Green like emerald.

Today’s Nice Price or No Dice Cadillac is almost a century old, and the seller claims that through all those years it has not been restored, only maintained. Let’s see if this classic’s price will restore your faith in the Cadillac brand.

It’s time to do my monthly check-in on Bollinger, the electric truck startup that I really hope can pull this off. Bollinger so far has forged a path of sensible progress, as opposed to—to use two recent examples—Lordstown Motors and Nikola. Founder Robert Bollinger said this week its slow and steady strategy wasn’t…

When I’m not riding motorcycles, I’m usually thinking about motorcycles, which in our modern buy-it-now instant gratification society usually means trying to find my next motorcycle. The old axiom contends that the correct number of motorcycles to own is X+1, where X is the number of motorcycles you currently own.…

Going by what I know from Hollywood, the bomb-disposal community has a firm definition for the strategic technique of blowing up a bomb you can’t defuse: a controlled explosion. A Polish bomb squad just demonstrated what an uncontrolled explosion looks like, but thanks to them, nobody was hurt.
