Mystery Car

Hello Mystery Car fans! It’s been a while. Basically, there hasn’t been a Mystery Car post since the Rob left us last summer. That is a damn shame.

Review: 2018 MINI Cooper Countryman All4
/
My favorite small crossover is the Mazda CX-5. Or at least it was until I drove this new MINI Cooper Countryman, which honestly is more the size of the CX-3, but the point stands. This thing is simply just zoom-zoomier and more fun. And it’s not even the S version – this is the basic…

It’s nearly midnight on a Friday in the UK, and high time to let the watery moonlight of curiosity illuminate the creased pages of the past, as we once more peer at the forgotten relics of a time long since gone. Last week we spent a bit of time with the late ’70s Honda Accord,…

/
Your news boy is on a super serious business trip doing business stuff with business people. None of the other hoons had interest in making a news post on my behalf. I guess we might as well have your news fill this time slot instead, huh? You know the drills: if you saw anything, fixed something, broke…

The 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler: What's old is new and it's better than ever
/
Jeep could not afford to mess up the launch of its new JL Wrangler. The good news here is that it didn’t. The 2018 Jeep Wrangler is the best Jeep ever made, in fact. A touch of improved styling, more engine options, a fully refined interior space, and greatly improved on-road dynamics leave us in…

Let's look at the 2018 Chevy Silverado right before the 2019 arrives
/
Chevrolet is prepping its 2019 Silverado for market. The fresh version of the mainstay in the Bow Tie pickup lineup looks sharp with its new sheet metal. Additionally, the new 3.0-liter diesel option should prove to be an intriguing option in the full-size 1/2-ton market. But the 2019 isn’t quite here yet. So that’s why I’m…

Whenever I travel to Colorado, renting a car is always a gamble. Yes, there are mountains out here and yes it snows, but each time I decline that additional insurance at the rental car company’s check-in desk, the clerk behind the counter starts some persuasive monologue in an attempt to sway me out of my…
