Things You Didn't Know About Buying A McLaren
The futuristic, obnoxiously loud machines known within the industry as "hypercars" have, in all intents and purposes, come a very long way. The McLaren P1 was introduced way back in 2012, but the company as a whole was first rendered into existence as of 1985, known then as McLaren Cars, and was formally founded in 2010 as McLaren Automotive. The rush and hiss of the nasty machines was first idolized by Bruce McLaren, who's time spent on his family's Auckland, New Zealand service station would give him the insight needed in drafting, designing, and inventing the McLaren F1, yet not before winning his first US Grand Prix at the age of 22 in 1958. Bruce McLaren made getting into Formula One look easy, if not child's play.
Gerald OppugnePublished 6 years ago in WheelYou Can Keep These Cars for 15 Years or Longer
I personally have experienced the truth that lies in the concept of keeping cars for 15 years or longer. My own parents bought their first brand new car together a little before I was born, and brought me home from the hospital in it. Then, 17 years later, when my senior year of high school came around and I first received my driver's license, guess what I drove to school every day? You guessed it, that's same old car.
Sherry CampbellPublished 6 years ago in WheelThe Ups and Downs of VW Ownership
If you've ever been car shopping and have asked a friend what type of car you should look for, you've probably got an answer like, "get a Honda or Toyota, and whatever you, do stay away from Volkswagen," or maybe you've just heard horror stories about European cars in general. Either way, I have some history and insight I'll throw out there.
Jon HarrisPublished 6 years ago in WheelBest Sports Cars Under $30,000 on the Market
It's not a secret that I'm a huge fan of sports cars, especially those that somehow manage to be affordable. I drive a sports car, and many people (including myself) have found that sports cars are the most reliable used cars on dealership lots.

Adrian ScottPublished 6 years ago in WheelBest Air Intake Systems You Need for Your Ride
Most people, or as I call them "casual drivers," are not really interested in their car's air intake. This makes sense, since most people are just interested in making sure their car gets from Point A to Point B without dying.
Buddy BrownPublished 6 years ago in WheelThe Worst Cars of 2017
There is nothing worse than having a troublesome vehicle, just ask those with unreliable cars. We rely on our cars to get us to school, to work, or to even go on vacation. For those of us out there who aren't grease monkeys, we are just looking to get where we are going with as little aggravation as possible—this list is for those people.
Best Fog Lights for Your Car
Many of us hate driving in the fog. It's not just because it makes driving to your destination a slower process from the traffic and just being cautious, but it's very difficult to see depending on the thickness of the fog. We even fear that we might drive into something...or someone. And to avoid hitting a pedestrian, we blast out headlights and sometimes, our car's headlights aren't enough to surpass the ghostly fog.
George NekilanPublished 6 years ago in WheelBest Radar Detectors to Help You Dodge a Ticket
They cost a fortune, add points to your driving record, significantly raise your insurance, and garner you with a bad reputation whenever you find yourself behind the wheel of a car: speeding tickets. They must be the bane of all automotive infractions, and can become an absolute burden if not immediately taken care of, or if you don't know how to handle a car accident properly. Though they may not have the most sophisticated or complex diagnostics in gadgetry, radar systems have grown in popularity over the past few years.
Best Products to Winterize Your Car
Winter is not a good time of year for your car's health. It's simply not. Snow and road salt can rust a car's underside or even eat away at a nice paint job. Severely cold weather can cause cars to stall, or even add to wear and tear on the motor.
