Go speed racer, Go! We as humans love racecars. We put countless of hours designing, building, racing, and watching race cars speed across the asphalt, trying to prove their worth. We even make movies about race cars. This is not a just a recent phenomenon, though, as humans have been interested in race cars ever since automobiles could be cranked. Here, we have compiled a list of what could arguably be considered the top 5 US race cars of all time, in no particular order, all having proved them [...more]

No one can say what the ultimate road trip of all time is, as most people have a specific trip they took in mind if you were to ask them, and who can say that anyone’s taken them all? As many people there are who drive, there are at least as many favorite road trips! Some may say that it’s a road trip across the country, east to west, west to east, turning back time and jumping to the future as you cross over time zones. Others would say a natural destination trip, like going to the Grand Canyo [...more]

I welcome the questions on these subjects as I hope that my experience saves you the anxiety of being unprepared for a blizzard. One way to avoid this is to have a winter emergency kit in your car. Aside from the fact that I run three businesses out of my archa [...more]

There are roughly 260 million vehicles in the United States. A public with lots of vehicles unfortunately has a lot of vehicle accidents. These collisions disproportionately injure and kill teenagers. In response to a dire situation, Congress established the third week of October as National Teen Driver Safety Week. This year it takes place October 18th – 24th. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 14 – 18 year olds [...more]

Brand preference is hotly debated, so we’ll steer clear of that for now. Just know that what you plan to do with yo [...more]

Some groups use humor to try to get the point across, but the message is the same: don't do it! If you still think it's okay to leave them alone "just for a few minutes", take a look at how long a human can stand being in a car. The internal temperature of the car quickly goes from 75F (24C) to 104F (40C). Does it really need to be stated (again) that you shouldn't leave your pets alone in a hot car? It's the "hot" part of the equation that matters, not how many pets you leave. [...more]

Summer is here and it’s hot outside. Nowhere is this more obvious than on a large stretch of dark pavement. If you think it’s hot, your tires do too. When the pavement starts melting, the excessive heat can lead to premature tire failure. Here’s a few tips on how you can keep your tires in great shape, no matter what the thermometer reads. Know the Pressure Under-inflated tires deform the tread profile and drastically increase rolling resistance, friction, and heat. Proper air pressure is the si [...more]

The 20th century was filled with attempts to break the sound barrier. It wasn't until the end of the century, in 1997, that a car was able to fly past that milestone. The "barrier" refers to the effects on a vehicle (usually aircraft) as they approach supersonic speed, 767 mph (343 meters per second). For years it was believed that aircraft (and other vehicles) would not be able to surpass that barrier, and then they did. On October 15, 1997, the Thrust SSC or "Super Sonic Car" surpassed t [...more]
