Loving life in a ragtop sports car: Mustang GT 5.0 convertible sports car

Gear heads have made this simple idea complicated. But you get it. Next time you’re at a car dealership and the salesman starts to toss around ‘torque and horsepower’ lingo, then pauses to mansplain what torque is, do this: “Hold on for just a minute while I engage my torque-driven touch-up.” via GIPHY Don’t Worry.

GMC Terrain Denali 2019 road trip

Costco isn’t just for buying in bulk. Even if you’re a Costco member, you might not know much about the Costco Auto program.

dodge challenger SRT hellcat

It’s Ok to Dream Big, Especially After You’ve Paid Your Dues.  I’d driven mom cars for years- a safe, nondescript family sedan, a minivan, and a full-size SUV.
