It’s a car, it’s a boat, no it’s the Amphicar

The fastest car on the water and fastest boat on the road My regular blog followers already know this about me so for the first timers, I really like unusual cars. Maybe part of the reason I owned an AMC Pacer. Stop laughing, I really did. Maybe that's also why I like the Amphicar. So... Continue Reading →

2014 Audi Q5 TDI quattro

Audi Q5 blends luxury, utility with clean turbo diesel  Luxury sport-utility vehicles all pretty much look alike, and all are loaded with luxury and high-tech features, so it’s in the blending of all these features where excellence outs itself. Even in high-end utes it has been uncommon for me to be fully comfortable with the size,... Continue Reading →

2014 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Ltd. 4X4

Hefty Tundra ready to take on the Big 3's Big Boys Toyota needn’t worry about folks pooh-poohing their full-size (and then some) Tundra pickup as not manly enough, or strong enough to take on the Big 3’s big boys. Heck, the tested metallic black Tundra CrewMax Limited 4X4 is nothing if not big. First, it’s U.S.-built... Continue Reading →

2014 Nissan Versa Note SV

Versa is inexpensive, versatile, but extremely underpowered Rarely have I driven a car as underpowered as the Versa Note, Nissan’s new four-door hatchback version of the Versa, which debuted last year as a sedan. Naturally this is an economy model, but still, with a 1.6-liter, I4 that cranks only 109 horsepower the acceleration is lackluster,... Continue Reading →

2014 Ford Fiesta SE

Small cars can be fun to drive if spunky and good handling Driving small cars isn’t a turnoff to me. I enjoy their economy, their simplicity their easy handling and their low cost. But frugal needn’t mean blah, and Ford’s Fiesta has learned that lesson. It offers a spunky look and feel, good handling and an... Continue Reading →
