My Volvo 850R: Break the bank or DIY?
/
My 1997 Volvo 850R wagon is going to be due for some major service in the near future. I’d like it to not eat my entire savings account. I could get it done myself and save some money, but I don’t want to get in over my head, because what’s coming up isn’t your average…

/
Our man Ross is in the middle of telling us the story about his summer of regret. It started when he sold his Subaru WRX to buy a Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport. A Centennial Edition Grand Sport nonetheless. But that car brought Ross on a journey that lasted 100 days and ended in misery. Part…

Last Call: Ist das Deutsch der Sextüste?
/
While discussing today’s post about the CLK500 around the mahogany conference table in the Hooniverse editorial suite, fellow staffer Robby DeGraff declared the C215 Mercedes CL500/600 to be “hands-down one of the sexiest looking cars ever made.” I’m not sure I agree, but this photo he presented as evidence definitely presents a strong argument. And…

Talk about a bad day. Not only does the 1997 Toyota 4Runner that you’ve owned for 20 years end up getting wrecked, but it’s your brother-in-law behind the wheel at the time of the accident.
