Why I'm no longer a car journalist, summed up in one Facebook post. Read more

your friends are dumb. Buy some heap of shit that's 250-500cc on Craigslist, just make sure it runs and has all its paperwork. Abuse the shit out of that while you learn to ride, drop it, break it, forget to service it, then buy a new bike when you're done making those mistakes. Read more

I want 4WD, not AWD. Read more

I live right smack in the middle of Los Angeles and go camping all over the south west. It's bumper to bumper for 100 miles in any direction, then open highway. For the vast majority of my uses, a 30mpg+ car that is easy to park on the street is ideal. For my camping trips, I just need decent ability off-road and… Read more

I'd kill for one of these. A genuinely capable off-road vehicle that makes just as much sense in the city. Read more
