The Russian SHERP ATV
That is it. I am selling the Prius. The Russian’s have figured out what my next car is going to look like. It is going to look like the SHERP ATV. Mainly because it is going to be a SHERP ATV. The Russian SHERP looks like a lot of fun. Forget about the fact that […]
Legacy Jeep Scrambler
Remember when Jeeps weren’t family cars with plush interiors and 10 cup-holders? You know, the old 1980’s CJ-8 for example. The folks at Legacy Classic Trucks are pimping out an old Jeep Scrambler. The Legacy Jeep Scrambler ($110K) starts off the restoration with an aluminum 6.2L V8 engine that cranks out 430-horsepower. And then they […]
Carrand 94005AS AutoSpa Bagless Car Vacuum
Getting inside of a clean car always makes me happy. The opposite is true of a filthy car. Sometimes the interior just needs a quick vacuuming but that isn’t always convenient. Especially when you need to lug out the large household vacuum cleaner. Not only that, the attachments for the home vacuum aren’t particularly useful […]
Best UTV Skid Plates For The Money
If you were lucky enough to get a new UTV or Side-by-side for Christmas this year, congrats. I got a self balancing scooter. You know the “hoverboard” gadget that sends old men, like me, to the hospital. I’m not complaining. Thanks Uncle Vinnie. But… it isn’t a Kawasaki Teryx or a RZR XP 1000. I’m […]
Disney VertiGo Wall Climbing Robot Car
Disney Research (I didn’t even know they had such a thing) in collaboration with ETH Zurich has created a little robot car. A robot car that can climb walls. The Disney Robot Car, VertiGo, uses two tilting propellers that are used to move the car and also help it cling to surfaces. Cool right? The […]
JET-HOT 1932 Ford Roadster
Ouch. My heart hurts after watching the video of this JET-HOT 1932 Ford Double Down Fuller. It is a thing of beauty. At first glance it looks like pure simplicity. An old car with a big motor and big sticky tires. Look gain. It doesn’t take long to notice that the attention to detail and […]
Satechi Ventie Adjustable Vent Mount
These days I tend to rely on my iPhone for GPS directions when driving. I have a built-in GPS system in my car but like to see live traffic, red light camera data, etc… So who makes the best car smartphone mount? In my opinion, the best option today is the Satechi Ventie ($19.99). The […]

Don’t Complain About Your Commute
Don’t complain about your daily commute. At least not until you have watched this insane traffic jam outside of Beijing, China. First of all, I have never seen a road with hat many lanes of cars. Holy cow. Then in typical road planning madness they have to go through a checkpoint then merge down to […]
All-New 2016 Chevrolet Volt
It seems, to me, that most people are in the hybrid/electric camp, or they’re not. There are people who cringe at the thought of having to drive a Prius, Volt, or Leaf. And, while none of them are perfect… they are damn close (except the Leaf). I am not going to go into the details […]
