The Decline of the 3-Seater Front Bench: Why Aren’t Cars Made This Way Anymore?
For those of you from the older generation who remember this—up until the 1980s, you could still get a front bench seat that fit three people comfortably, especially in full-size American cars. I guess that was the peak of American comfort and engineering. You could just sprawl out on those things and ride in style. But a few decades ago, they pretty much vanished. So… why did they go away? Let’s talk about it.

The Honda Turbo Lag: Why It Took So Long.
This is a question people bring up a lot: for the past few decades, Honda hasn't really seemed interested in building turbocharged engines—they've always preferred naturally aspirated setups. Just look at some of their cars, like Civics and Accords—turbochargers were either rare or nonexistent for a long time. Even their sports cars mostly avoided forced induction. The early S2000 and NSX, for example, came with high-revving NA engines and never had turbos, while other brands like Toyota or Mitsubishi slowly started embracing them. So it kind of makes you wonder—what's up with Honda?

Hertz Tesla Sell-Off: Can the Market Absorb 20,000 EVs?
Some time ago, we were all a bit surprised when Hertz decided to sell off at least 20,000 used Teslas. There’s no clear reason why they did it, but I think it might be because Hertz realized buying EVs wasn’t the best move for their business — or maybe they just found the cars weren’t as suitable for rental use as they thought. Rental fleets have to meet strict standards, so in that sense, their decision makes some sense. Hertz is definitely going to sell off some cars from time to time — that’s just part of staying in business and keeping the wheels turning.

Did the U.S. ever have a match for the Sierra Cosworth or Lotus Carlton in the '80s and '90s?
The idea of fast cars in America has pretty much always been the same: take the cheapest cars and stuff the biggest engines into them—that's the whole muscle car thing. Europe, on the other hand, leans more toward smaller cars with small engines and sharp handling. I guess that’s because the roads over there are a lot different than in the U.S.

Why Starting on a Smaller Motorcycle is Best for New Riders
Actually, this is another really common question for beginner riders. Sometimes we wonder if motorcycle licenses should be divided into different tiers based on engine size. As far as I know, in a lot of countries, beginner licenses are limited to 125cc bikes, and you move up based on your skills. The better you get, the higher the level you can ride.
