Never Stop Driving: A Better Life Behind the Wheel (2019)

“Jump in the car and drive away stress and distractions”

Tech television shows, newspapers, even car magazines all talk about it. Today’s teenager and young adult isn’t interested in cars. Why? Maybe the smart phone and video game addiction? Or could it be its just a few years until we will be riding in autonomous, electric pods and they don’t even want to bother with an old mundane activity such as driving. This book brilliantly puts the future as bleak as it may be for a car aficionado on hold and takes us back to a simpler time, when our cars represented freedom, adventure and fun. When we would go to the garage and simply sit in the car and dream of driving to some exciting place or wanting to improve our driving abilities on a racetrack. Read more →

Mercedes-Benz successfully created the four-door coupe segment with their 1st generation CLS and now in its 3rd generation, the 2019 version refines it even more.

BMW M850i xDrive (2019)

Dramatic, smooth, powerful and effortless. These are just some of the words that begin to describe the all new, 2019 BMW M850i. This is BMW’s modern interpretation of a luxury Grand Tourer and they have done a great job with it in almost every aspect.

Buick Envision AWD Premium II (2019)

I had not driven a Buick in quite a while and all I kept wondering was if the ubiquitous claims that GM makes about the re-invented brand are true. As it turns out, their claims are remarkably accurate with the restyled 2019 Envision. Read more →

VW cars have stood for being good value, featuring well thought of German engineering. The latest generation of the Jetta offers all of this and more by packaging a nice array of standard features, safety and comfort that many competitors don’t offer or only offer as options. Read more →

Recently, I was asked to review a new powebank and jump start battery and I liked the idea. As an auto enthusiast and owning a small, classic car collection, this was something that could prove to be useful for collectors or for anyone that tends to keep a car for more than three years. Why three years? From experience and living in Florida a lot of car batteries “give up the ghost” after three years. Lucky if you get five! Read more →

BMW M5 Sedan (2018)

Car companies are like people, there are times we simply aren’t as laser focused as we should be and after a while, those that know you, will notice. Take the M5 for example, during the first two generations, this mid-sized sedan, wrote the book on what an uber-sedan should be. Agile, sharp, direct, incredibly capable, yet mature and elegant. Regrettably, the last couple of iterations, not so much, as BMW seems to have been enamored with the idea of bigger is better. The BMW faithful moaned and complained and guess what, Munich listened and they delivered. Enter the 2018 M5 and finally, the focus and the execution is laser-like once again. Welcome back BMW, we’ve missed you. Read more →
