Honest car reviews both big and small
A model car kit that grew up As a kid, I must have built dozens of plastic model car kits, and if you're into cars like I am, you probably did the same. The kits, made mostly of plastic, came in boxes that would have easily been mailed or nicely fit under the Christmas tree.... Continue Reading →
Called the best electric car of the 20th century If you were buying a car in 1996, we bought two that year: a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Ford Taurus wagon; there were plenty of options available.

Of the 1.9 billion cars in the world, this one is the most valuable! I am constantly amazed at the car people, buddy Darrel Burnett is connected to.
