“Green light, and right away my tach surges towards the redline. I keep my foot planted, sending me a fair amount over the speed limit before I even make it off the on-ramp. Smooth sailing for another 100 yards or so...

Getting Intimate With the 2007 Audi A8
Despite their willingness and generosity, borrowing my parents’ Audi A8 is always a little harrowing. It’s hard not to feel a little panicked when driving a car that costs about double one’s income (before taxes) and is kept in mint (I mean, mint) condition by one’s dad.

REWIND. First the Americans resurrected one-time classics by introducing modernized versions that maintained the integrity of the original muscle (Chevy Camaro, Dodge Charger, Ford Mustang). Now, the Germans are following suit with a revival of the iconic Mercedes 300SL. The new edition will be crafted by Arturo Alonso and his company, Gullwing America. The design...

Holy Return of the Land Rover Defender!
The Land Rover Defender is reprising its role as my favorite rustic automobile! Just 850 of the limited edition Fire and Ice Defenders will be manufactured and they will sell for about $95,000 a piece. This is no spartan Defender, though. In a marketplace where the Mercedes Geländewagen and the Hummer H2 are the competition, Land Rover has packed its new issue Defender...
