I’m meeting a friend for coffee when I happen upon a herd of Porsches.
The car company that sparks exceptional performance, inspires innovative technology and continues to stir the automotive world’s collective soul with its iconic designs can add another advancement – the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera is now eco-friendly.
It took light emitting diodes to get automobile manufacturers in the mood – at least in the lighting department.
Dear Tom and Ray: I'm tired of waiting for the American auto industry to come up with an affordable all-electric car, so I'm looking seriously into buying a Chinese-made Flybo. I know it has
The Popular And Versatile Jeep CJ Series

This column might be called, “What it’s like on a bike.” That would be ambiguous, though, since “bike” can refer to both bicycles and motorcycles. Further, it would leave out the growing population of another two-wheeled group: motor scooters (laws now include them in the definition of motorcycles, but I’ve never heard them called bikes). Anyway, it’s the motorized versions of two-wheeled transport I’ll write of today.
This week we test drive Chevy’s sub compact 2009 Aveo LT sedan, a front-drive gas miser that fits nicely with its fellow Chevy lineup of cars. Aveo is a small 4-door sedan that will comfortably seat four adults and is easy to drive, especially in heavy city traffic.
Dear Mike: I have a 1990 Chevy S-10 pickup with a 2.8 liter engine that would not start. It would turn over and I saw the fuel going into the throttle body. There is spark at the plugs but still it will not start. Through process of elimination I discovered that the gas looked like lemonade, so I drained the tank and put fresh gas in. I got it to run but I can only go about a block or two before it shuts down like it is not getting fuel, and the fuel pump keeps running even after you shut the truck off. Do you have any ideas as to what I need to check? I am lost.
Why I love it: This all original 1975 title series 1 red Ferrari Dino 308GT4 was built in 1974. It is a limited 4-passenger European model that many claim to be the best version. This Dino is the lowest serial number European model Series 1 Dino 308GT4 of only 10 Series 1 European models known to be in the U.S. according to the Ferrari Dino Registry. The Maranello factory’s first mid-engine 2+2, the Dino 308GT4 was the design work of Bertone and built of fiberglass and aluminum. In 1975 the Dino was fitted with a 700 lb. steel body. It is powered by the first production engine built by the Ferrari factory and designed after those used in Ferrari Formula I racers. Although the wedge-shaped styling was controversial, the performance of the quad-cam three- liter V-8 certainly was not. The 255 horsepower V-8 proving sufficient to propel the Dino past 160 mph, with 60 mph in under four seconds.
