I get spoiled by access to the latest and greatest tech in high-end trim levels of various trucks and SUVs that brands send me to review. Across all of these vehicles, there's one tech feature that I miss the most when I move back to my regular car and especially when driving my father-in-law's truck - a rear-view camera system. I didn't realize that you could actually purchase something like this after-market and doubly so I didn't realize that it could be packed with features like being able to record video while functioning as a front and rear dashcam too! 

While I love horsepower and off road capability, there's something to be said for a practical car that is affordable, handles well, and has an amazing fuel economy. While a hatchback hybrid like the Kia Niro certainly isn't the sexiest car I've driven recently it performed incredibly well. Considering that it got more miles per gallon than the three trucks I'd be driving later in the week COMBINED, that was pretty impressive! While I knew the Niro would be perfect around town... what about going over mountains with tight turns and steep grades?

Ok, so this is a bit silly perhaps but in an era - at least short term - where gas prices have been knocked back down, the argument for why you should invest in an electric vehicle is a bit tougher to make. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Bolt EV. It's a great car and electric vehicles are absolutely the future of personal transportation. However, in a time where eliminating touchpoints and reducing anxiety is more important than cost - here's one more reason I love EV's like the 2020 Chevy Bolt.

Don't worry... I still love my big burley trucks, but EVs fascinate me. They are, without a doubt, the future of personal transportation. However, the future is here already. While it can be challenging today while charging infrastructure catches up, even in a less than ideal environment, a weekend getaway in an EV is possible. To illustrate this, Nissan sent me a Leaf S Plus and we drove up to Oceanside, CA.

I love EVs. Electric vehicles are undoubtly the future and while there are some enormous obstacles that some say are unsurmountable, I am an optimist. Technology is advancing so fast that issues such as range anxiety and battery production will be resolved quickly. However, I'm also a realist and some issues such as needing more power generating ability to support the paradigm shift to an all-EV future will take longer. Regardless, while I try to be balanced in my views - many people only react to what they see from detractors who like to spread false and unflattering news about EVs. So, let's take a look at eight myths about EVs that too many people simply assume are true.

It's pretty exciting to visit factories and see how things are built. Today, industrial-tourism is a big business and that ranges from visiting auto manufacturing plants to breweries. However, what about visiting an RV or Campervan factory? That might be a perfect twist on your same ol' vacation that could turn it into a memorable experience where you might even learn something!

Motocross is not just a sport, but an experience, a feeling and a subtle description of adventure. But at the same time, it isn’t something that one can simply wake up to and go on for. Here are five tips for beginner motocross riders to get started right...

I like all things fast and while I've never had the chance to actually ride a motorcycle, there's a sense of extreme thrill that they embody and no bike manufacturer is as synonymous with elegance and refinement as Ducati. The level to which the engineers push both style and technology is simply incredible and now they've introduced the Superleggera V4, boasting 224 horsepower (street) and 234 (on track with racing kit) but weighs only 336 pounds. That is an insane seven horses per pound, even better than an F1 car. With a price tag of $100,000 and only 500 being made, I know what some of you are going to have on your letters to Santa this year!

If the thought of buying a motorcycle has ever crossed your mind, a Harley Davidson will have been on your shortlist. Quite frankly, a Harley hog is something every petrolhead should own at some stage. Many dream purchases in life turn out to be nothing short of a nightmare. However, a Harley Davidson will live up to your expectations and put you on the road to happiness. Here are just six reasons why!

You're not alone in yearning for a smoother, comfier ride. Part of the joy of a motorcycle road trip is that unlike cruising down the highway with glass and steel wrapped around you, on a bike - you are exposed to the elements and connected to the environment that you are passing through. Unfortunately, that can sometimes be far less comfortable that the ride on a luxury SUV. Revamping your motorcycle to make the ride more enjoyable doesn't need to break the bank though. With a few tweaks, you'll be cruising in style and comfort.

Last month, I flew to Minnesota with Indian Motorcycle for my first King of the Baggers race at Brainerd Raceway, excited to learn what exactly bagger racing was all about. On the surface, the concept seems a little crazy, taking big, heavy motorcycles and racing them like they are sportsbikes. But after you see one whiz by you at 180mph and lean 50º into a turn, you start to look at it differently. And just like that, you're totally hooked.

Riding the open road on the back of a motorcycle represents one thing above all others: freedom. That makes it the quintessential American ride, not to mention the most free-spirited way of life a man can achieve. In an era when your freedoms are being eroded in Washington, DC, bit by bit by bit, you can count on the motorcycle to take you away from the bonds that hold you down.

Women write me all the time asking for tips on what to buy for the men in their lives and honestly, I don't think we're that hard to shop for - but apparently, we are. Most guys I know love cars though. Even if they aren't a grease monkey who works on their car in the garage, most men enjoy thinking about, looking at, and comparing cars. This means that car-related gifts are among the easiest idea when shopping for a great gift for guys.

When you travel in the US, there are typically two options - hotels and camping. In other parts of the world, campervans are a popular option but until recently they haven't really been embraced in the United States. Luckily, that's changing as it offers a very cool alternative for those looking for a "back to nature" experience but still want to retain the warmth of comfort of a nice soft bed.

Nothing can make a driver’s stomach drop quite like zipping down the freeway and catching a glimpse of red and blue lights flashing in your rearview mirror. Unfortunately, male drivers (who lack the superpower of sweet-talking their way out of a speeding ticket anyhow) may be more prone to this unfortunate turn of events. This is especially true when driving flashy high-performance cars. According to recent studies, men are approximately 50 percent more likely to be pulled over than women, making them targets for higher insurance premiums and hefty fines. That means that even with your base model... there's still a lot for guys to learn when it comes to safety on the road.

Unfortunately, drunk driving accidents occur every single day. However, ther eare certain days of the year that are worse than others. These are holidays where drinking and revelry often coincide with challenging weather. However, even in perfect weather - drinking and driving don't mix. If you are planning to party then be responsible and use a designated driver or ride share services to help keep the roads safer. Even with these precautions though, it is essential that you be extra dilligent so you can lookout for signs that other drivers may be impaired.

If you've been injured in a car accident and the other driver is uninsured, you may be wondering what to do next. This can be a very frightening and confusing time, especially if you are dealing with serious injuries. In this blog post, we will discuss some of your options and help you navigate through this difficult situation.

A car accident has the potential to alter not only your life, but your body as well. Even a minor accident can result in tissue or joint injuries that develop into chronic arthritis problems. This is where chiropractic care comes into play. 

When vacationing in an RV, you don't have to worry about where you're going to stay and adding those costs into your trip. In many cases, if you plan on a mancation involving the great outdoors, you'll be able to stay closer to nature when you bring along an RV.
