Full disclosure, the car market has been insane this year, so it’s difficult to really embrace what defines a “bargain” these days. However, I’ve done my best to put together some of the best performance car bargains you can get in 2021. As always, this does not necessarily mean cheapest although some of these cars…

Can you hook up a OBD-II Scanner to a motorcycle?
There are many tools professional mechanics and hobbyists use to diagnose issue and maintain their vehicles but few can be as handful as an OBD-II Scanner.

You should own a dashcam
The other day I was driving my friend to pickup his car from the dealer and he was shocked to see I have a dashcam in every vehicle I own. I’m not surprised, I often do get the “is that really necessary” comment from folks and I always reply, “yes it absolutely is”. Dashcams have…

3 cheap sports cars that are money pits
You ever hear the saying, “fast, reliable, cheap, pick 2”? It couldn’t be truer with cars, especially sports cars. Seriously, we’ve all heard the tales of guys who’ve picked up something that looks decent or is fast, or even both and then they’ve dumped their life savings in keeping it running. Heck, some folks are…
How do I get a car home after buying it from a private seller?
So, you’ve done a ton of research, you’ve searched the web and found your car. Heck you even went and met with the private seller, check out a car, asked questions and you might have even had a pre-purchase inspection done on the vehicle.
