However, the Swiss have some great roads and a fantastic heritage and passion for driving too.

  • BOSSing the Snow Around With Chevy Trucks

    We came, we learned, we plowed. That was pretty much the order of events when Chevrolet teamed up with Boss Snowplow and hosted us for a truck-n-plow event on the very frozen tundra of Marquette, MI at Marquette County’s (MI) Sawyer International Airport. Chevrolet brought a small fleet of 2020 Silverado HD 6.6-liter Duramax diesels in LTZ trim and several of their new Alaskan trimmed models.

  • What Type of Truck Bed Cover Is Right For Your Truck

    Here in the United States, trucks are one of the most popular choices for vehicles. What is not to love about these cars? The bed itself is already a great addition because of the various ways one can use it. You can put stuff inside and travel along with all of it. It can also be an extension so that more people can ride.

  • Jaguar Sets Guinness Record Plus Unveils Engineering Scholarships

    When you’re at the Chicago Auto Show there are plenty of distractions to catch your eye, but we’re suckers for a sweet convertible. At the show, Jaguar held the North American reveal of their new 2021 Jaguar F-TYPE.

  • How To Plan A Perfect Romantic Getaway Road Trip

    Sure, you can fly to a faraway exotic destination but I firmly believe that the journey is often more important than the destination. Certainly, that is true when traveling with good friends and loved ones. That's why I love to take romantic getaway road trips with Heather whenever we get a chance. While not every trip we take is explicitly about romance, some destinations like Beverly Hills just lend themselves to it. Let's take a look at how you can plan the perfect romantic getaway road trip for your partner this year!

  • 2020 Chicago Auto Show Keeps On Trucking

    It’s auto show season so, we checked out the latest wheels at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show.

  • Ford Mustang Mach-E First Ride Preview at Chicago Auto Show

    Ok guys, so there's been a lot of debate about "is this a Mustang" and so when I saw the opportunity to do a quick ride along at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show yesterday I literally jumped at the chance. I waited in line with other media who were similarly excited to take a ride in what is undoubtedly one of the most hotly anticipated new car releases. On the outside though, Mustang fans, EV enthusiasts, and even some Chevy and Dodge performance devotes have all been hotly debating the merits of an all-electric vehicle that bears such an iconic badge. Is it worthy? Is it a Mustang? Here's my thoughts.

  • Updated 2020 Ford GT: More Power, Less Weight, New Options

    Last night we were on hand for a special unveiling of the updated Ford GT supercar for 2020, including increased engine power to 660 horsepower and improved cooling. To say that it was beautiful would be an understatement. This is the pinnacle of supercar design and it frankly feels wonderful to have it coming from an iconic American brand like Ford. 

  • Hummer Returns: Might Just Be The Ultimate Off Road Machine

    When I think of a zero-emissions electric vehicle, HUMMER is not at the top of that list. However, I have to admit that the idea of a big beefy GMC truck with 1,000 hp, 11,500 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 time of just 3 seconds sounds F'ing awesome. So... I guess we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Interested in learning more? Check out the commercial teaser debuting during the Super Bowl later today!

  • Tips For Parents Of teens To Help New Drivers Start Off Right

    Getting a driver's license is one of the first rights of passage for American teenagers and frankly those from around the world as well.

  • Road Tripping in the Florida Keys With A Lexus RX450 Hybrid

    I've quite literally been all over America on road trips but the last remaining corner of this great country left unexplored with South Florida - until now. Last month, Lexus let me borrow their RX450 Hyrbid for a road trip from Miami to Key West and back. This roughly 350-mile road trip passed through some of Florida's most beautiful landscape and I wanted a vehicle that looked elegant when it pulled up to fancy hotels, fun to drive, had plenty of space for a weekend getaway. Plus, and perhaps most important, it needed to be comfortable even after hours sitting in the seats. Thankfully I was pretty satisfied with all of these after spending five days in and out of the RX450 Hyrbrid!

  • Must Have Safety Features On Modern Cars

    Cars are an interesting part of our lives. They are simultaneously one of the most fun, most useful, and most deadly machines that most of us will ever interact with. Everyone has them and we work to match them to our personalities. Below the surface though, when it comes time to buy a new automobile features like color, number of speakers, and even the brand name begin to fade away as we consider safety features. 

  • What Wine Would You Pair With a Maserati?

    Pairing wine with food is something that most people think about when the subject of how to best enjoy wine comes up. Really though, the spectrum is much wider than that. Last week, I got invited to a Maserati and wine tasting event and so I started thinking about what wines pair well with which cars. After all, we tend to refer to both wines and cars in terms of personality. So it got me thinking, which wines would I pair with which Maserati cars? 

  • Ford Introduces Baja-Ready Bronco R Race Prototype

    Hinting at upcoming Bronco production model, Ford’s Bronco R race prototype debuts in the desert to celebrate 50th anniversary of Rod Hall’s historic Baja 1000 win, an overall victory in a 4x4 that’s never been duplicated in 50 years.

  • Shelby GT500 First Drive - Most Powerful Street-Legal Ford Ever

    Last week I got invited to join Ford for the launch of their all-new Shelby GT500 Mustang, the most powerful street-legal Ford ever made. It's a beast that is trying to be more than just a drag strip king. Ford has worked hard to make this a vehicle that will perform equally well on the street, track, and drag strip. Did they succeed?

  • The Ford Raptor Is Way More Than Just a Super Truck

    All too often vehicles get distilled down to just one aspect of their personalities. A Bugatti Veyron is fast, a Maybach is luxurious, and a Raptor is just badass. While those are true - at least in the case of the 2019 Ford Raptor, it doesn't tell a complete story of why this is possibly the best truck on the market today. While previous generations of the truck were 100% focused on off-road ability, the current iteration is equally adept on the pavement, including twisty mountain roads as it is flying over the desert at high speeds.
