Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here. We haven’t been on an Auto Adventure in a while, but I figured this one would be to the theaters! No, I’m not talking about The Dark Knight (though the Batmobile and Bat Bike were featured on Top gear and are actually one-off, fully functioning cars built from the ground up- badass) no, I’m talking about another re-make, and its going to rock no matter how crappy it is according to the critics. Make way for…. Read the rest of this entry »
The all new 2009 BMW 7 Series features a variety of upgrades from the previous series. The exterior appears smoother and more refined than the previous model, which to some might seem boring, but to others classy. The 750i and extended wheelbase 750Li will both be fitted with a 400hp 4.4L Twin Turbo V8 with 450 ft-lbs of torque.

Even back in 2005, the SUV has been experiencing significant drops in sales. Trucks are feeling the heat too. The famed Ford F-150 is no longer America’s best- selling vehicle.

Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here with your weekly Foreign Fridays! This week we’re going to talk about one of the things I’ve been trying to accomplish for a long time; and that a well known celebrity is getting to experience half a world away. Think of it as the ultimate road trip, the one you’ve always dreamed of. Hit the Jump to read about “The Long Way Down”.
I know that last week I finished my blog on the Ford Torino CJ with a hint that this week’s installment would feature a car with the monstrous Hemi, and I will not disappoint. However this week’s car is more than just another Hemi car, for when it was introduced, the muscle car market received a shakeup that made those who thought they were untouchable feel a very real sense of fear that their days controlling the market were numbered.
It is no doubt that Pontiac stole the muscle car market in 1964 by catching everyone off guard when they introduced the GTO, and it would take some time before any car manufacturer challenged the presence of the first muscle car. However, in 1968 the gloves came off and Plymouth delivered a staunch blow to the belly of the once undisputed majority shareholder of the muscle car market.
