Everyone knows that besides being a car nut, I’m also a huge geek. Knowing my love for Sci-Fi, comics and the like, every year in July I head down to San Diego for Comic-Con International.

At First Sight: 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
/
I’ve spent the fair majority of my motoring life loathing the Corvette. Maybe that’s unfair to the car. After all, GM’s darling has nearly always represented a down-right insane performance bargain, but to me, that was always overshadowed by the cars’ owners. I don’t need to pontificate on any stereotypes here, but I just couldn’t…

2010 Audi S5 Convertible
/
Click…thunk. Hummmmmmmmmmm. Tweet-tweet-tweet-tw-baROOOM. Opening the door on the 2010 Audi S5 convertible feels the same as doing so on the coupe.

Hooniverse Asks- Who Has Had The Most Disappointing Racing Turn?
/
Now that Danika Patrick has had a couple of turns of the wheel in NASCAR, where things generally haven’t been going her way, she’s gotten all pouty about the whole thing. But there have been other drivers who have made even less auspicious debuts, and we want some suggestions as to the one that was…

I Don't Think This is an April Fool's Joke
/
The Chrysler/Maserati TC has gone down in history as one of the more horrible offspring of two parents who may have imbibed too much chianti on the night of conception. That combination of Chrysler chassis and Maserati-modded motor lived up to neither the sporting pretensions of the Italians, nor the luxury pedigree of previous Chryslers.…
