I love to learn how specific cars were named. Back in the good ol’ days we actually got to have badass names for our rides, like Mustang, Cougar, Thunderbird, Camaro, and, uh, Accord. Okay, so they weren’t all badass. But at least they were names. Today we’re drowning in letters and numbers. Who could ever […]

There are families out there – yours may be one – that longs for an SUV with three rows of seats. Yeah, there’s a market for it, but it’s funny (to me, anyway) that car makers are forcing a third row into mid-size vehicles. Hey, if you need a bus, buy a big SUV, I […]

Some people long for a smooth luxury car, filled with high-quality materials and plush comfort. Others clamor for a beast on the road, something that will satisfy their animal urge for power. Marry the two and you find yourself behind the wheel of the Lexus GS F. Power and class combined. The Basics The GS […]

In Colorado we don’t officially have a “State Car,” but it might come down to a battle between Jeep and the Subaru Outback. Having said that, however, Subaru has another candidate that might just elbow its way into the debate. The Forester shows off its newly-redesigned style and pizzazz for 2019 with cargo space for […]

This is perhaps one of the shortest books I’ve ever featured in my book club, and I love that. Maybe you’re like me and you’ve read 375-page non-fiction books that could’ve easily been condensed into 150 pages. Or less. William McRaven is a former Navy Seal who addressed the graduating class of the University of […]

Sure, the old adage about “ain’t broke/don’t fix it” can apply to car design, but Volkswagen apparently feels strongly about it. While other car manufacturers are only too happy to roll out full redesigns of their models every few years, VW has decided that the Passat is just fine as it is, thank you. And […]

Buick has been dogged by controversy over its Envision since its American debut in 2016, which must be frustrating for the car maker since none of it has anything to do with the quality of the vehicle. First came the announcement that GM would be producing the Envision in China, which sparked an angry cry […]

  By Samantha Silva   This month, millions of Americans will either: See a stage presentation of A Christmas Carol Watch one of the movie versions – or Scrooged Read the book by Charles Dickens For Dom’s Book Club in December I thought it would be fun to feature a novel about the writing of […]

If you’ve ever wondered about your family’s lineage, there are genealogy services that will pretty much lay out where your ancestors came from. Oh, you didn’t know you had ties to Lithuania? I find it entertaining to trace the lineage of certain cars, trucks, and SUVs. We think they spring from nothing but the mind […]

Subcompact crossover vehicles are becoming quite the rage, because they offer the kind of utility/cargo space that on-the-go urbanites are looking for, without the gargantuan size. Basically, they’ll dart around town and they’re easy to park. The Toyota C-HR was originally going to be produced under the Scion brand until that division was shut down. […]
