First Drive: 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S
Since its debut in 1963, the Porsche 911 has epitomized singularity in the sports-car world. From the ill-advised rear engine placement -- which still makes Newton roll over -- and the smooth, high-revving boxer motors, to the provocative Bauhaus styling with its roundish headlamps, humped front fenders, and horizontal taillamps, the 911 is an automotive freak. But it's a striking one that has sold 700,000 units worldwide, spawned more race victories than any other sports car, and served as the lustful fantasy of many a car enthusiast.
Husqvarna SM450R (2004-current)

2005 was the last year the UK importers officially brought in the Husqvarna SM450R. Which is a shame as it’s an unbelievably good bike, but it was felt that the 510SMR (road bike) and SM450RR (race bike) serviced all our needs between them. Slim, fast, agile and desirable the SM450R is very much the supermoto fantasy made metal.

	Arrival: 2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
Two years ago, we invited a charming young 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI into our garage and quickly fell in love with its cushy interior, ample torque, and near-endless range. Today, we say hello to our returning prodigal, but as with any child returning home from college, things have changed.
I don’t know about everyone else but if you just ask the kids they’ll tell you they’re all for electric vehicles. It doesn’t matter what kind either. Make all the vehicles electric! After all, electric vehicles are fascinating and easy to use not mention easy on the wallet when it comes to buying gas. Maybe it’s the fact that electric vehicles run in an amazing and mysterious silent way. That’s got the roaring, gut throbbing internal combustion noises beaten hands down. Silen...
Different states in the US follow different motorcycle helmet laws that cater to their own residents and constituents.

When it comes to RC cars, electricity saves you money, but gas makes it real. Gas powered RC cars go faster, sound more realistic and give you the thrill of the race in a way that their electrically controlled counterparts just can’t do. Of course, you have to understand that when you hear the term gas powered RC cars, you’re really not talking about gasoline. Gas powered RC cars are actually powered by a fuel combination more often referred to as nitro. But even if you do...
The wonders of modern technology; whether you love it or hate it, you have to admit it can be very convenient at times. Let’s take the mobile phone, for instance; it’s not so many years ago that they were the size of a brick and were seen as a ‘yuppie’ status symbol. How times have changed. Now, most of the adult population, and the younger generation too, have at least one mobile phone. One for business and one for personal calls. So, how does this help in a vehicl...

The Asphalt Jungle: Finding The Remote

Much hue and cry is dispensed over the fact that most American SUV owners never drive off-road, but, really, where are they going to go? Off-roading devotees know how to get dirty (the Rubicon, Moab, designated OHV trails), but the notion of being able to take your all-conquering, all-terrain rig "anywhere" is a fantasy. Try it-say, a spontaneous detour across an untrammeled expanse of river bed-and nine times out of 10 you'll quickly be stopped by a cop, a park ranger, or the barrel of a pump-action Mossberg.

New concept sport car from German car producer E-Wolf. E-Wolf unveils an EV supercar that’s so sporty. With a top speed of 155 miles per hour and a 0-60 acceleration that clocks in under four seconds, it has the performance to match its Italian playboy good looks, and its all-wheel drive, where each wheel is powered by an independent electric motor, should be able to keep all 2,000 pounds of it on the road. The Ford F650 is a super truck, appeared in 2000. The F650 is designed as a heavy hauler and is often used for towing or as a small dump truck. It is humongous!

When parts are tested they may be separated from the car structure or be on their place. These test also show what material is better to be used on this or those detail, how long will it serve and how it should be treated.
Kia Rio B-Spec First Drive
As I came up fast over the crest just before the sharp right-hander, I felt the race car begin to understeer away from me. "No worries," I thought, forgetting what exactly I was driving, "I'll just get on the power and get it straightened out." A tank-slapper later I was facing the other direction on the edge of the grass. I had just spun out on my first lap ever in a race car. A front-drive Kia Rio B-Spec race car, at that.
