It appears that the minivan is once again making itself relevant, though families of five or more will tell you that these vehicles known for space and functionality never really went away. Chrysler’s Town and Country is producing some beautiful sales numbers in 2012; the elegant space-eater has contributed to a 20% increase in overall minivan sales compared to 2011, so far.

Best Vehicles for Tailgating
True story: My friends and I once tailgated without a car. We simply integrated ourselves into the mix with dual 18 packs of Coors Light. It helped that it was a Wazzu Cougars game, whose fans have been known to enjoy an adult beverage or two.

2013 Ram 1500 Preview
I can’t help thinking that Ram sees their trucks as that overlooked Olympic athlete who trains all offseason while the reigning champ parties. Come competition time, that second place finisher with something to prove tends to make things interesting. To be fair, both Ford and Ram have gotten golden tans from all the limelight, and with GMC and Chevy thrown in the mix, America’s heavy duty pickup segment doesn’t really need to prove anything. But there’s always room for improvement. Continue reading

Porsche Cayman – Perfect Balance
In a world full of firsts, it’s easy to overlook the ones that come in second, regardless of how impressive their feats may be. Take the Olympics, for example.

This may not bother 99.8% of the US population, but it’s all I can think about, at least for the next two hours or so.
