One of the reasons some people look to purchase the Tesla models is the fact that the company has offered free supercharging for the life of the vehicle as a part of the purchase price. For the Model S and Model X you can simply call this an included benefit, but when it comes to the new Model 3 this won’t be offered at all. There has been a widespread issue with these supercharging stations around the country and this has led to the change in thought process by Elon Musk and the entire Tesla team.

In the automotive world we typically see vehicles that are part of the same class and level of build as those that are pitted against each other. It seems obvious to do this in order to learn more about what might make the better vehicle to drive, even if that difference is only a small one. Sometimes all that separates a pair of vehicles is a small amount of horsepower and a feature or two that makes for a difference in the drive when they are in the exact same category and class, but what about two cars that are built differently and don’t even cross paths much at all.

The Mazda MX-5 Miata is known to be the car that is fun to drive and fills up the posters that carry the “zoom zoom” mantra underneath. This is a car that offers only two seats and an active engine and suspension in a lightweight build that makes it tossable around any curve and a car that you can have fun with on the track. It may not be a serious speed machine with only 155 horses prancing under the hood, but the Miata is certainly a car we can love on any road or track for the dynamic performance it offers.

The singular look that McLaren vehicles bring to the market gives us something to admire that we have never seen before. As a newcomer to the exotics McLaren has been in the racing market for many years and built their reputation on offering the market some of the most perfect cars on the road. The 650S is a model that we have enjoyed for several years already in the Coupe and Spider versions that is now paired up with the 675LT that is track ready model that has all the performance on the track that we want to see with the added power and the lower weight. Is this the high class exotic sports car for you, let’s take a look and find out.

As a country that stretches from the Pacific to the Atlantic we have always been fascinated with the ability to cross this great nation in many different ways. Today many people achieve this accomplishment annually by crossing parts of the US either West to East or North to South to enjoy a great journey either by car, on a motorcycle, by foot or even on a bicycle. With our improved infrastructure of highways its relatively safe and uneventful to accomplish this feat of distance travel, but there was a time just over a century ago when this wasn’t the case.

When you think of the name of Ferrari most of the time you only think of two-seater sports cars that are at the pinnacle of the automotive world. Not very offer do you think of an extra pair of seats and a cargo hold that will carry a few items for you, but the Ferrari FF does offer these items with the wagon-like rear end. Of course you won’t mistake the Ferrari FF with your average sedan or wagon, but it’s certainly nice to know there are some wonderful features on this car that aren’t just for two, but for four people to enjoy.

It’s no secret that many automakers are working toward deleting manual transmissions from their lineup because of the dwindling demand for these transmissions. In some cases even the past couple years cars that have been offered with the manual transmission have seen a demand that has dropped to nonexistent and for good reason. With that in mind let’s look at what vehicles are phasing out the manual transmission and why it might not be a popular choice for some vehicles that are going to change to be automatic only in their offering.

Chevrolet has always tried to give us small cars that are meant to be a great car for commuting and even for some family driving tasks. The Cavalier was a popular choice in the 1980s and 1990s, the Cobalt was the predecessor to the Cruze and since 2010 we have had the Cruze. The Cruze has been a car that is a vast improvement over the other models and for 2016 it is receiving some additional changes to make it even better, but will these changes be enough to make the car one that is enjoyable by a larger audience and make us want to come back for more?

One of the items children will bring into your car that can ruin the upholstery is a box of crayons. While you might appreciate the effort and artistic attempt at a picture colored or drawn in a variety of ways that is certainly worthy of time on your refrigerator, you certainly don’t want to have crayons melted or used on the fabric or leather of your vehicle. Just because you have children doesn’t mean your car needs to look like you have kids when they aren’t present, which brings us to the topic of how to remove crayon from your car.

Every month thousands of cars are sold all over this great country of ours. Some go at great prices for the car that is purchased and others seem to be a bit of an overpriced nightmare for the customers. How do you know when you are getting a great deal? The best way to know is to do some research, but another way to have the information you want is to follow the market trends in your area. If you live in an area that is typically mired by snow and foul weather it’s no secret that SUV and truck prices will go up as the winter months approach. Timing can be important, let’s look at some vehicles that found the right timing last month.
