In terms of styling, it is not uncommon for most of today’s automakers to blur the lines. From crossover SUV’s to sporty sedans, driveways, highways and dealerships are rife with cars designed to be ‘a little of this’ and ‘a little of that’. Follow any line to the top, and you can expect to see […]

Time To Find Your Perfect Jeep
I think it’s fair to say that, at one point or another, most of us have considered looking into Jeeps For Sale. Our reasons may be personal, but here in New England, it’s fair easy to break this segment of our population down into a few different groups. First, of course, you have the off-road […]
Ford Trucks: Gotta Be Meme
I pose this question to any owners of Ford Trucks: what is your favorite Chevy meme? The laughing baby posing the question, “Did you know that Chevy is making a heated tailgate? So your hands won’t get cold when you push it during the winter?” Talk-show host Maury Povich stating, “You said your Chevy was […]
2017 Nissan Titan vs 2017 Toyota Tundra
Once calendars changed over to the new millennium, it was becoming progressively more clear that the American truck market was going through some changes. By this point the Toyota Tacoma was fairly well-established with five years under its belt, proving that you didn’t have to be Ford, Chevy or GM to churn out a truck […]
2017 Nissan Titan vs 2017 Ford F-150
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
When was the last time that you visited a Nissan Dealership? No, scratch that. When was the last time that you explored everything that Nissan had to offer? From vehicle selection and the wealth of online information, to dealer inventories and certified pre-owned programs, there is no shortage of reasons to get excited about Nissan. […]
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 […]
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. Perhaps the vehicle that you’ve been driving has met its demise. Whatever the reason, you are without a vehicle with an urgent […]
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 […]
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 […]
2017 Toyota Camry vs 2017 Honda Accord
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. If you’re expecting a close competition between the two, you won’t be disappointed. Ultimately, these have always been two very competitive vehicles, and any decision will rest in the […]
Buy a Car Online… and Don’t Get Screwed
Whether you buy a car online from a private seller or through the internet sales department of a franchised dealer, there is a chance you could get screwed. Is that really a surprise to anyone? Considering that claims of internet fraud are attached to everything from online dating to election tampering, why would car sales […]
Alfa Romeo Giulia & The 30 Year Itch
When I came across an advertisement listing an Alfa Romeo Giulia for sale, I have to admit that I had no idea Alfa Romeo had released a new Giulia in 2017. For anyone familiar with Alfa Romeo’s history, you know that there really have been limited Alfa offerings to the American car buyer across the […]
The Power & Burden of Selling Your Car
Here you are thinking, “I want to sell my car.” Great. Grand. Awesome. MORE POWER TO YOU In today’s online world, constant connectivity paves the way for an expectation of immediate results. We demand real-time updates in everything from weather forecasts and world events, to the minutia of our personal lives. But access to information […]
Managing Your Expectations of a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet
In the Chris Farley movie Tommy Boy, Brian Dennehy’s character was asked why there was no written guarantee on the boxes of brake pads manufactured by his company. While we’ll refrain from sharing his colorful response, you may remember his reply (or even better, Farley’s hilarious attempts to repeat it throughout the film). In case […]
