Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid Race Car is the First Hybrid I Would Own
 |
If you walk up to a bunch of automotive enthusiasts and start talking about the virtues of a hybrid we might listen if only because we need someone to buy the Prius and Focus Hybrids, so the V8′s we really like can continue on thanks to CAFE. You won’t catch… |

Where We’re Going, We Need Loads…

If Doc Brown even needed to travel to another time with extra clothes and flux capacitors in tow, this is the DeLorean he would use. The DeLorean was the stuff of car lust for me before I discovered Cannonball Run… and the Lamborghini in my youth. In fact, there was |

addOn: OnStar Coming to Every Vehicle

How smart is your car stereo? I’m happy that my stereo can interface with my iPhone and let me sort through my music efficiently. However, if you want something that does more than just play music and display the time, you might want to have a gander at what Parrot… |
