Dream Cars With Stupid Prices
We all have dreams. We dream about the perfect fantasy house. We dream about cars we picture ourselves driving. We dream about the future. Sometimes, the dreams of others make us cringe. When it comes to dream cars, there is a list that makes me cringe.
Jason Ray MortonPublished about a month ago in WheelThe Best Electric Cars on the Market for 2022
With surging fuel prices and an overall increase in taxes for highly polluting big engine cars, the global demand for electric vehicles has understandably grown to unprecedented levels.

A Labor of Love
We met one sunny spring afternoon. I had stopped off at a colleague’s new house to help him move when I first laid eyes on her. The previous owners had abandoned her in a field behind the house. Tall grass hid the multicolored exterior, flat tires, and cracked and torn interior. I found a weathered top along with both side curtains tossed haphazardly in the trunk. For me, it was love at first sight.

I Hate Left Turns
Monday. Halloween 2016. It was a really basic day, which is why we didn’t see it coming. I had on my favorite jeans, my favorite earrings. I got out of class at 11:15 and called my “friend” to let him know I was ready for our lunch “date.” (He was essentially my boyfriend, but we were on a “break” that didn’t extend past this day.)

Electric Cars Will Only Get Worse.
I’m a self-recognised awful Futurologist - not only do I enjoy actual engines, but I adore the simplicity of a diesel engine (which is, of course, The Worst Type of Engine). As the UK government works to ban the sale of diesel and petrol vehicles by 2030, the EV really has become the face of future transport.
Three Affordable Electric Cars That Won’t Cost The Earth
Electric cars are the future of green travel. But many of the most popular electric cars currently on the market are, let’s face it, a little on the pricey side, with an average cost of £44,000.

Classic 50s Cars - The tailfin and swivel seat
As a lover of old cars I find it fascinating to look back at vintage advertisements, which are enlightening. The 1959 model year featured gas guzzlers, mostly with V-8 engines. Case in point the Pontiac Tempest 420E where the ad touts the fact that it gets better gas mileage than "economy engines." The front profile is also very stylish with the dual grills featuring two lights on each side, almost like a pair of snake eyes.

2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing: The Best Argument Against A BMW M3
The 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is a better driver-focused sports sedan than the BMW M3. That's a statement sure to ruffle more than a few feathers, as the German automaker has all but dominated the segment since the late 1980s. Still, after seat time in both, it's evident that a bona fide driving enthusiast — those chasing engagement — will favor the Cadillac over the BMW.

Porsche Taycan Turbo S review, Price, Engine, Interior, Taycan Turbo S
Outline The 2022 Porsche Taycan car isn’t the ideal electric vehicle, yet its blend of driving verve and execution endurance make it the most captivating one. It’s additionally on our 2022 Editors’ Choice rundown. With a striking appearance as well as a profoundly adaptable and super-advanced inside, Porsche’s electric four-entryway satisfies its superior valuing. The Taycan additionally makes a wonderful showing of reminding the pilot they’re driving a Porsche on account of its energetic controlling, indifferent poise and refined ride. Stepping the gas pedal resembles terminating a rocket, except it very well may be done over and over. While its brakes are perfect at corralling that snappiness, they miss the mark on regenerative properties of conventional EVs and the pedal has an aloof vibe. There will constantly be correlations with the Tesla Model S, particularly with the Porsche’s similarly short assessed range, yet the 2022 Taycan is verifiably the really exciting other option.

Is The Future Of Supercars Electric?
Supercars, and their even more extreme hypercar successors, are the pinnacle of what internal combustion can deliver. Vehicles like the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron, as well as competitors from Swedish Koenigsegg and American SSC, have traded blows over the last couple of decades as the fastest production cars in the world. But they are being eclipsed by a new genre of supercars: electric ones.

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning: World’s Best-Selling Vehicle Goes Electric
If you’re waiting for a sign confirming electric vehicles have gone mainstream, the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning ends the wait. The F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle on the planet for over four decades, and when Ford opened the order banks for the all-electric Lightning version last year the automaker had to stop taking orders after 200,000 people signed up. So the electric vehicle revolution is no longer coming soon — it’s here.The enthusiastic response to the F-150 Lightning isn’t surprising when you consider how much it costs and the compelling specs for this new electric truck. The base F-150 Lightning Pro SR (standard range) offers 452 horsepower, 775 pound-feet of torque and 230 miles of range for $41,669, including a $1,695 destination charge. The mid-grade F-150 Lightning XLT ER (extended range) offers 580 hp, 775 lb-ft of torque and up to 320 miles of range for $54,669, including destination charge. Both prices do not include the $7,500 federal tax rebate or any state rebates (i.e. $2,500 in California).
