It has always been true that Europe builds some of its coolest cars for the home market and refuses to import them to the U.S. So many great cars over the years have been excluded from our shores, and while the number seems to be a bit lower these days, there are still a few notable exceptions. Alpine A110, and particularly the 73 San Remo commemorative special edition, is my nomination for the best car we don’t get here in the U.S. – Bradley Brownell Read More

What Car Do You Love But Would Never Own?

As car enthusiasts, we have many automotive loves and only so much room in our garages (in my case, room on the street). That means we have to be a bit choosy about what we drive. Some stuff – even though we may love it – is just too flawed to justify owning. That’s what brings us to today’s question. – Andy Kalmowitz Read More

We asked earlier this week what are the worst things about driving in the winter. Unsurprisingly, no reader commented that it was their poor driving skills.

There are so many great cars not sold here in the U.S. market. For one reason or another, automakers don’t think that Americans will buy small cars, or cars with manual transmissions, or sports cars, or coupes, or wagons. Damn, all the wagons! Some of those reasons are regulatory, but some are just based on vibes. – Bradley Brownell Read More

These Are The Nastiest Messes You’ve Ever Cleaned Out Of A Car

Chores are a pain but putting them off just means even worse suffering down the road. Y’all have seen your fair share of devastatingly dirty cars. From the leavings of children (always the children!) to the crusty film left by folks in that #VapeLife. – Erin Marquis Read More

The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are dropping. Winter arriving means there will inevitably be a couple of massive snowstorms across North America over the next few months. Unless you’ve never left Florida or Southern California, you’ll deal with white stuff falling from the sky at some point and end up driving in less-than-ideal conditions behind the wheel of a vehicle that might not be up to the task. – Ryan Erik King Read More

Cars; some of us treat our autos like second homes and that’s not always a good thing. Playing a game of “hey, what’s that smell?” is at least a little easier inside a car. There’s only so many places grossness could hiding, but what lurks under car seats and inside of the center console could shake Marie Kondo to her very soul. – Erin Marquis Read More
