May 20, 2008 at 12:04 pm by Derek

Ok, so I’m no fan of Saturn vehicles. Here’s an example of a totally lame commercial they came out with:

and here’s the version that would have been a real attention grabber:

Using credit cards to ease the pain and save some money

April 26, 2008 at 5:00 pm by Derek

I have a good handle on my personal finances, and have no problem using credit cards and paying them off each month. In fact, it can be beneficial to do so. Those who are carrying a balance on their cards or are prone to overspending shouldn’t follow my lead, but here are two [...]

Fraternity of STI

I don’t have an STI, but my WRX is the SportWagon style that inspired the current generation hatchback STI. And my drive home everyday does go something like this:

Pontiac made a commercial for the new G8 based on the old Spy Hunter game, one of my all time favorites. Nice!

Eclipse gets tweaked, looses ghetto booty

February 2, 2008 at 9:33 pm by Derek

Autoblog has a preview of the 2009 Eclipse refresh. Finally gone is the big, monochrome ass that was resurrected with the 4G, which I thought was the biggest styling flaw of the current generation Eclipse.

Keep right, part 2

Bad driving is no mystery

Recently, a study was published by some mathematicians using some fancy mathematical models that showed bad drivers cause traffic jams. To this I say, “Duh!” Either you were already aware of this fact, or you are, perhaps unknowingly, one of the bad drivers.
To be fair, the study was a bit more in depth. [...]

Challenger loses some of it’s cool

January 13, 2008 at 4:59 pm by Derek

Autoblog has a photo of what’s believed to be a preproduction Dodge Challenger:

For me, the taillight bar across the back was one of the things that made the Challenger concept so damn cool. If it loses that, it loses some of it’s luster. Of course, the car manufacturers have to design these components [...]
