Like most drivers, I don't think much about how my car gets me from point A to point B. The idea of fiddling with my Nissan Sentra's engine, brakes or suspension is as appealing as being stuck in traffic. About the only thing I can do to my car is fill it with gas.

Now reports say that General Motors will push back the ...
Blackfriars, shadowed London, ON, October 2009 I took this photo tonight, as I slowly cycled my way home from an appearance on Rogers Television's Newsmakers Live . I was part of a panel of unbelievably cool people - a London Police Sergeant, a noted driving instructor, a Rogers product expert and, of course, host Bob Smith - discussing the new handsfree law (aka Bill 118) that went into effect in...
I’m all for people having life mottos but I think you need to be careful about how to advertise/spread that life motto. For instance the side of your lime green Nissan Sentra that’s rolling on dubs 15’s probably isn’t the best place for “Get Money Fuck Bitches”. I mean the platform that you’re using to [...] People Of Walmart Pirate Law Top 10 Drunken Pass...
Shelling out for a navigation system in a new car can be a seriously painful experience. Often thrown into a tech package -- a sort of automotive catchall for an assortment of expensive gadgets and gizmos -- speccing your car...
Shot in 2000 or 2001, here I am piloting a 1979 Civic 1200 through snowbanks in Menomonie, WI, home of the University of Wisconsin - Stout, where I attended college. See, back in 2000, my roommate Scott and I bought this '79 Civic for $350 off of a dude in Eau Claire, WI. We got it solely as a winter beater—and it was awesome. It had 145/80/12 tires, a two-speed Hondamatic transmission, and 1980s...
Filed under: Performance , Europe , Hatchback , Volkswagen , First Drive 2010 Volkswagen GTI - Click above for high-res gallery Performance Icon. That two-word phrase is bandied about so often there's hardly any meaning left in its 15 letters. After all, if a Porsche 911 is rightly referred to as a performance icon, can we call a Honda Civic Si the same? And are we talking any old 911/Civic Si, or...
I know about how statistics can lie, but it seems that numbers can mislead just as badly. The government, when it released its numbers on the Cash for Clunkers program, kept touting the top 10 vehicles being sold. Too bad they didn't emphasize they were splitting up the two-wheel or four-wheel drive models. To be fair, the lists released did have FWD on them, but it's still misleading. The choice they...
The Beverly MA bookmobile is out of commission, but its librarian is not. The deteriorating vehicle failed inspection two weeks ago, and Linda Caravaggio has been making the rounds in her silver Nissan Sentra, delivering books from her back seat. "She's hauling bags around and doing her best," Library Director Pat Cirone said. "She's a tremendous librarian who goes above and beyond."...
Mechanical: The 2011 Nissan Sentra will remain front-wheel drive and be powered by four-cylinder engines. If Nissan doesn’t slice and dice the lineup, the 2011 Sentra would repeat its 2.0 base model and step-up 2.0 S, 2.0 SR, and 2.0 SL models. They use a 2.0-liter engine rated at 140 horsepower. The entry-level 2.0 model would again offer a choice of a six-speed manual transmission or a continuously...
We were a bit shorthanded at LeMons HQ at Carolina Motorsports Park last weekend, so I wasn't able to do the usual Index Of Effluency winner post. Check out the Rusty Bolt Racing E12! Yes, it's a 1975 BMW 530i done up in Jägermeister Gruppe 5 flares, orange paint, and antlers. Rusty Bolt Racing managed to beat out a pretty tough IOE field, including a Fiat 124 Spider, a Plymouth Acclaim, and...
