It’s hard to believe that we just celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first Ford truck to roll off the assembly line. While the Model TT may not have been the first “truck” per se, it was the first time that one had been built, as opposed to resulting from the modification of an existing […]

2018 Toyota Avalon
The Toyota Avalon is a bit like the easily-overlooked, underachieving younger sibling with a weight problem. Wait. What? Okay, hear me out. First, understand that (i) I too was the easily-overlooked, underachieving younger sibling with a weight problem, and (ii) I’m awesome. Well, the 2018 Toyota Avalon is pretty awesome too. Unfortunately, it’s easily overlooked […]
Your Nissan Dealership Has a Surprise For You

2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Ford Fusion
Something feels unbalanced about the comparing the 2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Ford Fusion. With a 30 year difference between the two offerings, I’m not sure whether I feel like I’m challenging a 70-year old man to a race, or being challenged to a race by a 10-year old boy. Either way, the expectations of […]
Oops!…You Did It Again
Look, it happens to the best, richest and Britney-est of all of us… you spend, spend, overspend then you realize, Oops! … I did it again! You’ve overdrafted your bank account and now your credit is in the tank and you’re thinking “OMG! I’ll never get a car because the dealership is going to hold […]
Why Your Honda Dealership May Be Nothing Like You Remember
When you walk onto the lot of your local Honda dealership, what do you expect to find? Quite possibly, your expectations are limited. Lack of familiarity with today’s Honda may leave you with little else but a faded memory of some older, tired models. And when you walk onto the lot of your local Honda dealership, […]
2017 Toyota Highlander vs 2017 Chevy Traverse
Of all vehicle comparison pieces, crossover SUV offerings remain among the hardest to do. While the primary blame falls upon the level of inundation from every vehicle supplier, creating an over-saturation of the market, it’s not helped by the level of redundancy. And by redundancy, I refer to the relative lack of distinctive innovation, resulting […]
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly of Buy Here Pay Here
The situation is hardly an enviable one. Imagine that you are in need of a vehicle. Maybe this is your first car purchase, or possibly the first one you’ve purchased in a while.

A Look Back at Truck Bed Liners
Whether your truck is a show piece, a work horse (or a combination of the two), there is little debate as to the importance of a truck bed liner. Aside from the level of protection that it will offer to ensure a longer life for your truck, few would argue the level at which it […]
MLB All-Star Game MVPs Have Taken Home Impressive Chevys
Chevy’s relationship with Major League Baseball has been ongoing since 2005. The car brand ultimately developed the Chevrolet Youth Baseball program, and the company has donated more than 135,000 equipment kits, revamped more than 9,000 parks, and impacted 6.7 million children since its inception. Of course, one of the brand’s other requirements is to award […]
Why Ford Has “The Edge” Over Other Crossovers
At first glance, there wasn’t much about the Ford Edge that grabbed my attention or yanked me around to take a closer look. In all fairness, that’s not really a criticism of the Edge itself, but more so of what the over-saturated crossover / SUV marketplace has become. Varying levels of “boxy” designs, contoured to […]
To Lift…or Not To Lift
“That is the question…” Okay, it’s hardly Shakespeare but, then again, it’s hardly a question. Few Jeep drivers (if any) have not considered modifying their Jeep with a raised suspension or oversized tires. A common consideration for many off-road vehicles, it’s sort of an inevitability when you’re talking about a Jeep. Whether the lift is […]
Used Car Dealers Unload Inventory with New Technology
We all remember the used car dealers of the past—lots of aging vehicles in the lot, large “For Sale” signs on the hoods, brightly colored flags blowing in the wind to get your attention, and some shifty looking men who wanted to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn. It often wasn’t a business that you […]
This is Why a Fleet Vehicle Might be Your Next Used Car
Here’s a quick question—where is the first place you look to buy pre-owned cars for sale? More than likely it is a local dealership or perhaps through an ad online. But we’re going to suggest that you look at an unconventional place for cars for sale—that would be a rental car business or a corporation […]

In casting a wide-enough net, any well-thought search for a midsize sedan should include a comparison of the 2017 Toyota Camry vs the 2017 Honda Accord.

Pick Up Your Date in an Alfa Romeo Giulia
So you’ve gone on Tinder and swiped right. Or you’ve finally given in and have allowed yourself to be set up with your grandmother’s best friend’s granddaughter.
