Are you sure I can’t keep this one? Every Wednesday, for the past three years, I have received a new car to test drive and review. If you’ve seen my social media feeds, you’ll notice my reviews run the gamut from cars, trucks and SUVs. Sometimes, when they come to take the test car away, I…
2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI: This Might Be the Best Car to Learn How to Drive a Manual
Learning to drive a stick shift… because I had to! Maybe your parents insisted you learn to drive a stick shift. Mine didn’t. Even with all the drivers in our household (I’m the oldest of 8), we didn’t have a manual vehicle other than a John Deere tractor on the farm until just before I…
