I bought a 69 Camaro from a guy in Texas with an old Chevy crate engine in it called an LS7 Big Block. He installed the LS7 in the car in the late 1980's and the number stamped on the block is TL02XCH09488093.
I regularly receive reader concerns over the inadequacy of certain Spokane freeway interchanges. Indeed, some of the entrance and exit ramps to and from Interstate 90 here lack safe and efficient flow. Those design shortcomings may be partially blamed on delays and objections taking place…
Hyundai was one of three companies whose U.S. market share grew during the recession. Its fortunes have faltered since, however. Its failing? Too many cars, not enough crossovers. The compact crossover is the industry’s hot number. Segment sales are up 19 percent — mostly at…
This week, we’re driving the 2015 Nissan Juke SL AWD that is classified by the EPA as a small station wagon. Although Nissan originally built the Juke to attract a younger demographic, an expanding number of baby boomers are driving Jukes, and Nissan expects this trend to continue.
My grandfather had a 1952 Lincoln that came with the first ever overhead valve V8 in the Lincoln line. Can you tell me more about this car?
Hot hatches are happening. Little sedans, not so much. So Scion is confident it will sell more copies of its new iM hatchback than of its also-new sibling, the iA sedan.

A couple of months ago, I wrote of the “touchy coexistence” between two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. The motorized two-wheelers, motorcycles and scooters, sometimes suffer the effects of size-disparity among four-wheeled cars and trucks. More vulnerable, however, are the bicyclists, who have a disadvantage of size…
"I came across your article on “Rare Comet Cyclone GT” recently and noticed that you had seen Dyno Don Nicholson at Atco Dragway in Berlin, New Jersey, in the summer of 1966. I was there also."
This week, we’re driving the 2015 Nissan Murano, featuring a new exterior design, way more interior room and the trusty mechanicals that have made it one of Nissan’s most popular vehicles.
An email from a city bus driver informed me that people in automobiles display some crazy behavior around busses. At the time, he did not specify those antics, but his topic encouraged me to speculate about some of those behaviors in last week’s column. Now,…
The pint-sized, four-passenger HR-V packages traditional Honda virtues -- rock-solid body structure; firm-but-compliant ride; quiet, comfortable cabin — into a small, efficient footprint.
This week, we’re behind the wheel of the 2015 Subaru Crosstrek, one of the newer all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicles that have helped make Subaru a household name. Introduced in 2013 and built to compete with the overabundance of small crossover utility vehicles that are popping up everywhere, XV Crosstrek is actually an alteration of the popular Imprez
I recently purchased a 1964 Avanti with a 429 V8 Cadillac engine. The exterior color is gold and it has gold Recaro seats. I am led to believe it was owned by Joe Granatelli and am in the process of restoring the car.
An email from a city bus driver indicated that drivers do “stupid stuff” around busses. G.F. claimed he will compile some of those episodes and eventually forward them to me. He hasn’t sent them yet, but in the meantime, I can speculate on a few.…
I don’t know about you, but I’d love to drop a few pounds and gain three new gears. I’m pretty sure I’d be nimbler and feel more energetic. I’d be quicker and more efficient. I’d be just as comfortable and no less luxurious. And so...
There’s a new kid in town in the compact Crossover class, namely the 2016 Honda HR-V. Built smack in the middle of siblings sub-compact Fit and ultra-popular CR-V, this new effort from Honda is sure to be a crowd leaser, especially considering its attractive entry price of just $19,995.
