Subaru and the Ladies Who Love Them: A History

This is the story of how a struggling Japanese car brand broke into the U.S. market… a story of all-wheel-drive wagons and the ladies who love them. After all, every carmaker has that stereotypical driver: And for Subies? Those are the cars for ladies who like ladies. This is the

What Are Tesla Whompy Wheels? Pictures and Analysis of Tesla Wheels Falling Off

Whompy wheels. Funny name, serious problem. Tesla vehicles that have whompy wheels have an alarming tendency to throw their wheels off, often while in motion, supposedly due to suspension failures. When that happens, you get a car that’s not so much driving as it is dragging itself across the pavement.

Early Driver Reviews: 2025 Dodge Charger Scatpack EV

When Dodge announced in 2023 that they were discontinuing the gas-powered Charger, enthusiasts were devastated. The Charger has always been a brute-force muscle car with an unapologetic attitude, and replacing it with an EV felt like corporate insanity.

Insurer Study: Waymo is 12.5 Times Safer Than Human Drivers

The data coming out from an independent study of Waymo autonomous vehicles is, frankly, amazing.

Review: 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road (The Off-Roader That Angels Envy)

So, as I’m sure any of my readers can tell you, I’m a Taco fan. What I wear in my secret heart: I love my Tacoma SR5, but I always wonder… what if I’d ponied up for the Off-Road instead? Truth is, I’ve talked with folks who’ve driven them, and

How many Chinese EV clones of the Mini Cooper are there? At least 3!

Since the first Mini Cooper rolled off the factory line in 1959 in Oxford, it was an instant classic. Affordable, stylish, and teeny-tiny for city driving, the British Motor Corporation probably didn’t realize what a hit they had on their hands. The Mini has gone through many iterations, including its
