Even Ford had its very own hemi V8, namely the 429 cubic-inch big block found in the Boss 429. But there were also many non-American engines with hemi heads, such as the ones we'll discuss here.

5 Countries Where Manual Transmissions Still Rule The Roads
It wasn't too long ago in the rearview mirror of time that manual transmissions were ubiquitous on road networks. In fact, Motor1 says that in 2001, 91% of car registrations in major Western European markets featured stick shifts. 25 years later, that dominance has flipped on its head. In the United States, only about 4% of registered cars are manuals — and that transmission type made up less than 1% of the market share of new cars in 2021, according to The Drive. The European outlook is a bit less apocalyptic; 2024's numbers for the UK from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show a 22% slice of the cake (via AutoExpress).

This 2026 Corvette ZR1 Was The Cheapest Sold On Bring A Trailer - Here's What It Cost
SlashGear's first drive of the Corvette ZR1 had us wondering whether it was too much for the road, but buyers weren't intimidated by the Corvette's supercar-killing 1,064-horsepower engine. Chevrolet auctioned off the first production unit for $3.7 million in January 2025 to benefit the Red Cross, and the market has been hot ever since. Classic.com reports 8 sales of secondhand C8-generation ZR1s at an average price of $273,375; that's more than $45,000 above the dealership cost of a new 2026 convertible in 3LZ trim (the most expensive variant).

If you want to go longer between fill-ups, you might be tempted to squeeze every bit of gas you can into your tank.

That car is the 1-of-1, 2,031-horsepower Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution LF, which its maker claims is the "most expensive, complex, and highest spec Hennessey hypercar ever." Our first drive of the Venom F5 found it to be 3 million dollars' worth of pure adrenaline.

The next level up would be harsh shifts, culminating in no power being given to the wheels at all. Transmission repair bills are among the highest on cars, and for older vehicles, the cost of a transmission repair can exceed the value of the car (or truck) itself.

As soon as you see the telltale signs that your tires need replacement, panic might set in as you contemplate purchasing new ones. Not only is tire replacement expensive (the average cost for new tires can range from $50 to over $1,000 per tire), but it's also an unavoidable car expense. After all, driving with bad tires is quite dangerous, accounting for almost 11,000 road accidents and more than 60 deaths annually, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

5 Cars That Outlived Their Replacements
Typically, when manufacturers introduce a particular vehicle, they do it with a certain context in mind. A time, region, target audience, and so on — cars are made, first and foremost, to sell. Sometimes they sell a little too well for their own good, growing from humble singular models to juggernauts spanning multiple decades; it's cars like these which, as we'll see, hold no equal, not even among their successors.

5 Cheaper Toyota Alternatives To Lexus Cars
Being the luxury variant of Toyota, the Lexus brand generally shares its lineup with its more mainstream sibling. This can either be a direct rip from the Toyota lineup, as seen throughout certain models' histories (Lexus LX and Toyota Land Cruiser, for example), or two vehicles sharing the same platform and role but with more distinct architectures, like the Lexus RX and Toyota RAV4. We'll take a look at all of these and more; both companies have dozens of models across multiple powertrain styles, from basic sedans to fancy hybrid SUVs and everything in between.

5 Old Honda Models From The '70s We Could Never Forget
It's hard to understate just how important the decade of the 1970s was for the Japanese auto industry, both domestically and in terms of its larger global presence. As the 1970s began, Japan's carmakers were still getting their footing after a long period of post-World War II rebuilding. Just 10 years later, as the 1980s rolled around, the Japanese auto industry was entering its era of global dominance.

When winter weather strikes, many of us have no choice but to get into our cars and head off to work, school, or even the grocery store if we forgot to stock up on snowstorm staples like milk and bread.

Basic Tracking versus Next Generation Fleet Technology
For nearly two decades, telematics data has given fleet managers visibility that helps them fine-tune maintenance, promote safety, and manage their fleets more efficiently by tracking vehicles and assets. Even the most basic fleet tracking software or telematics platform can transform the way a fleet is managed: It can turn a pen-and-paper operation into one that makes decisions based on facts and data instead of intuition.

This news comes after a large number of Wrangler 4xes and Grand Cherokee 4xes, over 320,000, were recalled back in November for fire risks.

Likewise, some high-end tires that cost a lot to buy don't actually offer significantly improved performance compared to cheaper alternatives. When you're picking out new tires, some brands have a better reputation overall than others, with Michelin and Toyo both being highly reputable names in the industry.

This Honda Model Is The Safest Subcompact SUV, According To iSeeCars
Seat belts weren't even mandatory in U.S.-market vehicles until the late '60s, but cars have gotten a lot safer and more advanced since then. Although modern active safety systems might seem intrusive at at times, the numbers speak for themselves. According to the National Safety Council, the rate of motor vehicle deaths per 100,000 people was reduced by more than half between 1972 and 2023. If you're considering buying one of the best small SUVs to haul your family around, safety is undoubtedly a very high priority.

5 Surprising Substances That Could Actually Power A Car
Sometimes, things are designed a certain way because they have to be. A shoe is shaped to fit the foot, and the shape of an airplane's wing is dictated by the laws of physics to generate lift. There's only so much fiddling you can do to either without losing what makes them a shoe or a wing. Other times, things go down one path when they could have gone down another. The automobile engine falls into the latter camp.

Mislabeled Gas Pumps Leave Drivers Needing Thousands In Repairs
Have you ever gone to a gas station and been presented with multiple pumps, each one a different color? It's a fairly ubiquitous design template, common to almost any station that sells both gasoline and diesel. One way people can tell the difference between the two fuel types is by the color of the pump: gas pumps are often black, while diesel pumps are typically green. Unfortunately for some drivers who stopped at a Metro Gas station in Southington, Connecticut, a regular fuel stop became very expensive after the fuel delivery company in charge of refueling the pumps mistakenly put diesel in the gas tank and gas in the diesel tank.

Do Diesel Pickups Burn Through Tires Faster Than Gas Trucks?
There are many differences between gasoline and diesel-powered trucks beyond the fuel they use. Diesel engines tend to be larger with a longer stroke (the distance the pistons travel within each cylinder), thicker blocks, and heavier internals to handle higher compression ratios. Thanks to diesel's higher energy density, those engines typically produce more torque and weigh more than their gasoline equivalents. There are some myths about tires that might mislead you, but the added torque and weight of diesel trucks means their tires will wear out faster than the ones on gas-fueled trucks. Tire wear is dependent on a few key factors: the tire's composition and geometry, road surface conditions, and vehicle physics.

Looking For A Luxury Car? Consumer Reports Says Skip The European Brands
Whether you have a million dollars in the bank or lead a modest lifestyle, luxury cars have a certain appeal that's hard to deny. They turn heads in parking lots and on roads, are associated with celebrities and the ultra-rich, and allow drivers — and passengers, for that matter — to ride in style and utter comfort. Of course, there's a range of price points for luxury automobiles, with some brands like Acura offering great value, while others like Rolls-Royce ask sky-high prices justified by steep brand cachet. But cost-prohibitive cars aren't always a guarantee for better user experiences.

This model was only available to lease and was powered by 27 lead acid (and later nickel metal hydride) batteries. The range was somewhere around 70 miles, which is paltry today compared to a car like the GMC Sierra EV that can get over 400 miles of range without much issue.

Whether you're a professional shop mechanic or just changing your own oil at home, a trustworthy floor jack is a must-have tool. Harbor Freight has lots of useful items for working on cars, including Daytona floor jacks. Some Daytona floor jacks have a feature called 'Rapid Pump,' which helps these models lift a vehicle quicker than a one without the feature. Rapid pump relies on a hydraulic system with two pistons instead of one; this helps raise the saddle much faster when not under load.

These Two GM Engines Are Within A Cubic-Inch Of Each Other, But Still So Different
How big is one cubic inch? In physical size? Tiny, obviously. Even in terms of engine displacement, which we are about to discuss, a single cubic inch is almost nothing. It's an amount regularly rounded over several times in the modern era of using liters to advertise displacement. Back in the late 1960s and early '70s, at the height of the original American muscle car era, when displacement ruled and performance branding was everything, GM's muscle car engineers saw themselves more as rivals than friends. In that era, a single cubic inch on a V8-powered muscle car could mean everything.

For instance, older cars relied on basic mechanical drum brakes, while most modern cars use anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and hydraulics as standard.

As with any mechanical creation, cars aren't perfect.

While the severity of these recalls can be minimal, and some car recalls have proven quite absurd, in most cases, they're intended to remedy serious issues.

15 Annoying Car Myths That Simply Refuse To Die

Technology has long evolved beyond the need for cutting holes in metal, but the sentiment that cross-drilled rotors do the job best persists (partly because they are featured in sporty brands like Porsche and Lamborghini).

Continuously variable transmissions, also known as CVTs, have become quite common over the last decade. Most automakers use them to some extent, especially mainstream brands.

These pulleys and belts continuously change their own gear ratios, negating the need for hard shifts as you find in other types of transmissions.

How Much You Should Actually Be Tipping Your Uber Driver
According to a Pew Research Center survey from 2023, the majority of Americans tip across most service categories. More precisely, 92% of people tip at restaurants, 78% of them tip for haircuts, 76% tip for food delivery, and 61% tip taxi or rideshare drivers. Tip amounts tend to vary, but Pew notes that many people still aim for 15% to 20% for traditional services.

Looking For A 2026 Camry Alternative? This One Is At The Right Price Point With More HP
When Toyota moved its Camry sedan to an all-hybrid powertrain for the 2025 model year, it was a big improvement across the board for the most part. With 225 hp in total (or 235 hp with optional AWD), the modern-day Camry's hybrid powertrain is, by all metrics, a major upgrade from the old base four-cylinder engine that powered earlier models. The hybrid's performance should be more than adequate for most buyers, with a notable improvement in both power and fuel economy compared to the old setup.

Red Light Not Turning Green? You May Be Able To Help The Sensor Detect Your Car
Modern traffic light technology isn't just a simple sequence of red, yellow, and green. It's a complex detection system designed to manage traffic flow based on real-time demand. The very first "smart" traffic lights used pressure plates, but modern systems rely on infrared sensors, cameras, or inductive loops to detect a vehicle. When cars reach the line, the approach system sends a signal that triggers the green-light cycle.

Yes, Improper Maintenance Can Hurt Your Car's Resale Value -- Don't Make These Mistakes
According to The Universal Technical Institute, a car is made out of 30,000 to 40,000 parts. Some of these, like the frame and the chassis, are built for long-term durability and, with proper maintenance, can last the life of the vehicle. Most others are expendable, and will eventually cause problems, replacements, and repairs. If those issues aren't addressed in time, the car won't be as reliable, and that can hurt its selling potential.

Fines & Jail Time? Florida Isn't Messing Around With License Plate Frames
Most Floridians probably never paid a lot of attention to license plate frames. They are just seen as props installed for aesthetics for most drivers. And for dealers, they double as something that lets their logo travel around town as free advertisement. But this casual attitude is about to change. That's thanks to House Bill 253, which officially went into law on October 1, 2025. It basically ups the penalty for obscuring a license plate from a simple fine to a second-degree misdemeanor. So now, if the frame hides any part element on the plate -- be it letters, numbers, or the registration sticker -- it's better to simply get rid of it.

Goodbye Worn Out Leather Steering Wheel: Here's An Easy DIY Method To Restore Yours
Steering wheels are subject to wear and tear — we touch them every time we drive. However, worn steering wheels are not only unsightly but unsafe, reducing your grip and control. Modern vehicles are often made with leather, a material that can easily start to crack and split when exposed to the sun and constant friction. The dirt, oils, sweat, and products on your hands can also cause discoloration and staining. If you're looking for a cost-effective DIY way to restore your leather steering wheel rather than cover it up, it's luckily not too hard to do.

Who Makes Fram Oil Filters?
The company that originally made Fram Oil Filters was created by Frederick Franklin and T. Edward Aldham in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1932. They create their company's name by combining the first two letters of Franklin's name with the last two of Aldham's name. Fram created an easily replaceable oil filtering element for automotive engines. Prior to this development, oil filters were tough to remove and replace. The first Fram oil filters were hand assembled, later being produced by mass production techniques, and today are made internationally, with some filters being made in China and Mexico. Today's Fram filters do not rank very highly when compared to other filter brands, but the role of the oil filter is an important one as far as your engine is concerned.

There are many reasons why the TRX was such a big deal for fans of Mopar performance and off-road trucks alike, but the biggest reason was the engine under the hood.

5 Awesome '80s Pickup Trucks You Can Find For Under $30K Today
The '80s certainly weren't short on great pickup trucks. Many of the coolest '80s trucks sported boxy designs, burly V8 engines, and classic styling that modern trucks simply can't match. Some even roped in famous names from the motorsport world for a little extra showroom appeal — take the Dodge Shelby Dakota, for example, which received unique graphics and a body kit, along with a 175-horsepower V8 engine. Even the cleanest examples of the F-Series trucks and square body Chevys from the era can also now command significant sums among collectors, and enthusiasts are all too aware that many of these trucks aren't as affordable as they once were.

Hyundai & Kia Recall More Than 300K Cars Over Melting Fuel Tanks
Kia and Hyundai haven't had the best track record recently in terms of overall reliability. From interior elements falling off to electrical shorts causing fires (the latter problem affecting some 3.3 million vehicles), the 2020s have not been particularly kind to Hyundai and its subsidiary. Because Kia shares much of its parts with its parent company — think Ford and Lincoln, for example — when one suffers from such failures, often the other does as well, boosting the numbers deep into the six figures. Such is the case with this latest recall, affecting both manufacturers equally, and just as catastrophically: a defective purge control system check valve, which can lead to a melted fuel tank, according to the recall notice provided by the NHTSA (PDF).

You can make it faster with performance modifications such as aftermarket supermarket kits, freer-flowing exhaust systems, and cold-air intakes, or can pursue a cosmetic approach instead with wide body kits, or aftermarket lighting and alloy wheels. The world is your oyster, but the problem is, the more personal you make your oyster, the less likely it is to appeal to someone else.

A recent announcement from General Motors, as reported by GM Authority, points to the fact that GM is developing "multiple variants" of a brand-new passenger car. These vehicles will be built on the rear-/all-wheel drive Alpha 2-2 platform, which is the advanced next-gen version of the Alpha 2 platform. Alpha 2 provided the underpinnings of the current Cadillac CT5, the discontinued Cadillac CT4, and the late, lamented sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, which might or might not be gone for good. While GM has committed to building the next generation of the Cadillac CT5 on the Alpha 2-2 platform, GM Authority's sources have claimed that the U.S. will be getting another vehicle built using the same underpinnings.

Even after the loan has gone through and you've put in your down payment, car ownership continues to cost money — even for the car brands that cost the least to maintain over time.

Most notable is car registration, which needs to be updated every few years to ensure you can legally drive your car. While it's not necessarily overly expensive, it does cost money all the same. Fortunately for some, there are ways to get around these fees — provided you're eligible.

One of the lesser-known technologies is automatic tire inflation, which makes sure that the semi-truck's tires can be inflated in situations where the tire pressure has gone down.

Not Neutral Gear Or Rolled Down Windows: This Is The Best Way To Boost Your MPG

Or saying you should shut off the A/C and drive with the windows down to increase your MPG? Well, these two aren't completely accurate because, for the first tip, first gear could actually save you gas (and reduce brake wear), and for the second tip, at certain speeds, drag from your open windows will cost you more gas.

Is It Worth Getting A Costco Membership Just For Gas? Here's How Much You'll Actually Save

Maybe you just don't like going to the store that often as a single person and want to stock up on everything you need to avoid going out all the time. One of the more surprising ways you can save money at Costco is by using its gas pumps to fill up your car, as they are typically cheaper per gallon than the average pump in your county.

Another 274 km (170 miles) are under construction, with an additional 5,062 km (3,145 miles) planned for the future. High-speed rail is a far more efficient method of transportation than airplanes and automobiles, so installing more of these rail lines across the country would be a huge environmental benefit.

Volvo calling its XC60 SUV a "capable all-rounder," is both accurate and refreshingly self-aware. While at first read it seems like the automaker might be underselling things, but really, it's spot on. Instead of bloviating or disproportionately flaunting any of the XC60's abilities, Volvo represents it as it is: a competent and versatile luxury SUV. Not only is it a spot-on characterization of the XC60's performance, refinement, and comfort levels, but it's also a perfect way to talk about the SUV's humble charm.

What Does Running Out Of Gas Actually Do To Your Car's Engine?
For those of us who've played a game of fuel gauge roulette, the consequences of getting it wrong and lurching to an undignified halt at the side of the road go beyond mere inconvenience. Whether it's through forgetfulness, laziness, or just trying to push the limits, running out of fuel is not something your engine, or other mechanical components, will appreciate.

Honda Says The 2026 Passport TrailSport Is A Real Off-Roader, So We Put It To The Test
Near the end of this summer, I returned from my trip to Louisville, Kentucky for the 2026 Kia Sportage HEV to find a white 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport waiting for me in the economy lot of my local airport. From that moment until a week later when I sent it on its way to its next adventure, I got to spend time learning how this rugged midsize crossover fared in the day-to-day (which is, frankly, how most of these Passports will spend their days). Though fuel economy and the noisy all-terrain tires groaning about the lack of rougher trails to roll upon counted as minuses, I found this boxy Honda to be quite good for those who want something more tough than a CR-V without the size of the Pilot.

New York Has Some Low Highway Speeds, But Locals Are Determined To Change That
The New York State Assembly has just introduced a bill that would allow the commissioner of the NY State Department of Transportation to set a maximum speed limit of 70 mph, increasing it from the previous maximum of 65. While this would not make New York State the new king of speed, it would at least mean it'll no longer be one of the five U.S. states with the slowest speed limits. This is just a bill, though, so it still needs to go through the committee and the floor in both the State Assembly and the State Senate before reaching the Governor for their approval.

Land Rover has an outstanding pedigree for both luxury features and a military heritage, a formula which should theoretically produce a car that's both reliable and well-equipped.

What's The Worst Ford Diesel Engine, According To Drivers?
Typically, most people associate the common Ford Super Duty with the classic image of a perennial work truck — something designed to run for hundreds of thousands of miles to generate revenue for its owner. But every car, no matter how seemingly durable, has the potential to hide a true lemon under the hood, and even the venerable Super Duty is no exception. The Power Stroke's fundamental design dates to the 1980s, and not much has changed since then; from the first 7.3L Power Stroke that debuted in 1994 to the modern examples three decades later, hardly anyone associates these engines with poor reliability, save for one specific problem child: the infamous 6.0.

OHV versus OHC: What's The Difference Between These Engine Designs?
OHV stands for overhead valve, and these types of powerplants can also be called pushrod engines. OHV engines have the intake and exhaust valves located above the camshaft, which is in the engine block and driven by the crankshaft. The valves are actuated by pushrods that run from the camshaft lobes to rocker arms in the cylinder head, which enable the valves to open and close. Most OHV engines have two valves per cylinder.

Police Cars Aren't Armored For Good Reason
It's likely that many people have a negative association with police cars — or, at the very least, their lights. Nobody wants to see them flash from behind, as it may mean that a ticket with their name on it lies in their future. Pulling people over is hardly the only thing that police use their cars for, however. They are also used to transport officers to potentially violent situations in which they could be shot at or harmed.

This Train Just Set A Hyperloop Top Speed Record & May Be The Future Of Transportation
For those unfamiliar, a hyperloop is a currently experimental form of public transportation originally conceptualized by Elon Musk, in which a passenger capsule is sealed into a borderline vacuum-sealed tube track and propelled along at high speeds via magnetic propulsion. The lack of air resistance and the sheer railgun-esque force of the magnetic rails would, in theory, allow such a vehicle to shoot forward at incredible speeds, exponentially faster than any other ground-based public transport currently in use.

Despite what you might think, this truck driver is not taking out their frustrations on the vehicle, nor are they trying to destroy a rival trucker's rig.

18 Of The Most Successful Models In Mercedes-Benz History
Mercedes-Benz was founded as a company in 1926, but its story has roots in the first-ever automobile, the Benz Patent Motor Car. Namely, one of the company's founders, Karl Benz, created that car, spawning one of the most successful global industries. Consequently, Mercedes-Benz became sort of the quintessential car manufacturer, quickly leapfrogging the competition that was already established in the 1920s, like Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Duesenberg, Ford, Chrysler, Cadillac, and Packard.

When Do You Not Need To Stop For A School Bus In Colorado?
While there are a number of truly strange traffic laws in the United States, one of the most sensible is the need to stop for a school bus that has come to a stop and has its stop sign out with flashing red lights. This is to ensure the safety of all the children getting on or off the bus. In Colorado, you need to stop for a school bus even when you are on the other side of the street, heading in the opposite direction. It does not matter how many lanes the street has or even if there is a large, painted median separating the two directions of traffic.

5 Mercedes-Benz Models With The Worst Resale Value
Mercedes-Benz is considered a luxury brand, which means its vehicles are generally more expensive and extravagant. As you might expect, this also means that any lower-than-average resale values will deal an even heavier blow to their overall cost. Losing 50% of a cheap SUV's original cost will only mean you lose around $10,000 to $20,000, but to a Mercedes-Benz SUV, that same percentage could mean a loss of nearly $50,000. At that point, it's all too obvious why you'd want to be wary of the brand's worst-valued models.

350 Chevy versus Ford 351W: Which Engine Is Best?
I started learning to work on cars in the late 1970s by helping my stepdad turn salvaged mid-1960s Chevy Chevelles into street-stock-class race cars. Throughout that period, I had my hands on a number of small-block Chevy V8s, including a fair number of 350 Chevy engines. While the late 1970s might have been among the worst years for production 350 Chevy engines, the race engines we used more closely resembled those from the early 1970s, a time before the required emissions changes brought the Muscle Car Era to a halt.

Towing capacity isn't a suggestion, but a hard limit that your car's automaker set after thoroughly testing how well your vehicle can handle maximum stress across its drivetrain, frame, brakes, suspension, and cooling systems. In other words, it's something baked into the design, not added on after the fact as some may think.

It was a similar practice that actually led to the creation of the term "station wagon."

Why Cummins Had To Pay Nearly $2B After The EPA Accused It Of Cheating
Cummins is one of the biggest engine manufacturers, building both gas and diesel power plants for trains, commercial vehicles, construction equipment, and even marine vessels. One of its best-known automotive products is the 6.7-liter turbodiesel that has powered Ram's 2500 and 3500 pickups since 2007. But now, that engine and its reputation are being called into question by one of the largest environmental penalties in U.S. history. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) accused Cummins of using "defeat devices" in these trucks to cheat emission tests.

Road tires are made specifically to last as long as possible on all kinds of terrain. But not all tires are built the same. For instance, an economy tire you might find on a Corolla isn't as robust as one you might see on an F-150, and a touring tire would likely be more durable than a performance tire. This makes it hard to say what exactly could damage a tire because it depends on the type of tire you're using.

When the Y-Block V8 debuted in 1954, it boasted a long list of improvements over its predecessor.

This extra stiffness was partly thanks to the engine's deep skirting, which would also give the Y-Block its name. Rather than looking like a traditional "V" when viewed from the front, the skirting made the engine look closer to a "Y." Keen to find a way to distinguish this all-new V8 design from its older engines, Ford used the "Y-Block" name in its early promotional material, and the label stuck.

Why Was The Oldsmobile 442 Discontinued?
The Oldsmobile 442 was an intermediate-sized high-performance muscle car that had a place in the Oldsmobile lineup during most years from mid-1964 until 1991. The original meaning of the 442's name comes from it having a four-barrel carburetor, a four-speed transmission, and a dual exhaust setup. The car's specs evolved over the years, with the 1968 version available with a three-speed transmission and two-barrel carburetor.

Yes, There Are Hidden Cameras In Some Street Lights - Here's What They're Used For
Streetlights are supposed to light the way, right? But in some parts of the U.S., they've been doing something else too — keeping a close watch. Several years ago, hidden surveillance cameras started appearing inside ordinary-looking streetlights. Federal agencies like the DEA and ICE quietly installed them through private contracts, and the general public was kept entirely out of the loop. So basically, the streetlights seemed harmless and a part of basic infrastructure. But silently, they were also a part of a high-tech spy surveillance system.

But while the brand's later years may not have been that exciting, it would be a major disservice to dismiss Pontiac's output in its entirety.

Why Supercars Have Such Terrible Resale Value
Supercars are designed with a completely different purchasing philosophy compared to mass-produced cars. Where regular car purchases are primarily driven by practical factors including safety, reliability, and fuel economy; supercar purchases are primarily driven by emotional factors, including achievement, performance, and exclusivity. This also means that supercars are bought by people with higher financial means. Be that as it may, buying a supercar is often the very opposite of a good financial decision, since these factors do not always protect them from steep value depreciation over time.

For example, the nozzle could be damaged, where a bend or pinch could impact the shut-off sensor. It could also be an issue with a particular gas station's flow rate, which may be delivering fuel a bit too quickly for your vehicle to handle, triggering the shut-off system.

The Mistake You Might Be Making With New Tires
It's easy to go into autopilot mode following certain car maintenance activities, like getting an oil change or replacing an air filter. You just hop in the car and go. However, other types of work require more attention at the outset, including getting new tires. It's easy to assume that new tires are ready to deliver peak traction the moment they touch the pavement, but the reality is far different.

If you've ever stared at the back of a plane while boarding or taxiing and noticed a small hole near the tail, you're not alone. It's easy to miss, but once you see it, you'll start spotting it on nearly every commercial jet. And, no, it is not a secret camera, nor a drain pipe.

What Is The Largest Engine Ever Put In A Production Car?
The title of largest engine ever installed in a production car goes to the Pierce-Arrow Model 66, built between 1910 and 1918. It was powered by a massive 13.5-liter straight-six engine, displacing 825 cubic inches, dwarfing anything built before or since. Despite its size, the T-head engine made only around 60 to 66 horsepower, but its torque was immense, and it could cruise comfortably at speed, even by today's standards. The Model 66 wasn't just a prototype or a one-off flop.

As well as being crucial to the production of chips and processors globally, the state is also critical to EV battery production because it's the home to Carolina Lithium.

In a safety report filed with the NHTSA, Ford said it had identified eight instances of engine fires that were potentially caused by defective fuel injectors, and estimated that 0.3% of the recalled vehicles are likely to have the defect.

What Happens If You Don't Change Your Engine's Air Filter?
Your car engine doesn't like to breathe through a pillow any more than you would. It needs oxygen just as badly as you need air during a sprint. But the thing is, your car's engine doesn't just inhale raw, dusty air from the road. That could be as harmful as it sounds, and that's where the engine air filter's job comes in. The engine air filter has a simple but enormous task. This is to catch all the gunk, grime, and microscopic junk before it enters the combustion chamber. Now, imagine never changing that filter.

How The Cayenne Saved Porsche And Became One Of Its Best-Selling Models Today
The story of how the Cayenne saved Porsche can be traced back to a prediction made by Ferry Porsche back in 1989, long before it debuted. He said, "If we build an off-road model according to our standards of quality, and it has a Porsche crest on the front, people will buy it." Unfortunately, Professor Dr. Ing. h.c. Ferdinand Anton Ernst "Ferry" Porsche died in 1998, just a few years before he would be proven right.

No, Oil Filters Aren't Universal - Here's How To Know What Kind You Need
The internal combustion engines that power most of our vehicles depend on a steady supply of engine oil for lubrication and friction reduction. This fluid comes in various different viscosities or thicknesses and is engineered specifically for the harsh conditions inside of a car's engine. Oil isn't the only component that makes up your vehicle's engine lubrication system, though. In addition to the oil sump or pan, various lines and oil passages, your car also relies on an engine oil filter to help keep the oil clean and free from debris.

Choosing between the T680 and 579 is more than just a question of brand loyalty for fleet managers and drivers both, it's about striking the ideal mix of technology, fuel economy, durability, and driver experience.

Of course, as far as engine problems go with automobiles, a dead battery is far from the worst case scenario, because in most cases, the drained power source can be given a second life by borrowing power from another battery.

What Is The 80% Rule And Does It Truly Matter When Charging Your Tesla Battery?
If you drive a Tesla, you've probably heard of something called the 80% rule, which recommends regularly charging your vehicle to around 80% instead of going all the way to 100%. There's even a "daily recommended charge limit" option highlighted right in the charging settings screen of Tesla vehicles, with anything above that meant for longer, planned road trips. In fact, it's not just Tesla that does this. Several other EV makers, including BMW, Ford, and Hyundai, have official documentation telling users to avoid charging their EVs to 100% unless absolutely necessary.

Cars are less colorful than they used to be. In fact, according to a 2023 study by iSeeCars, they're only half as colorful as they were 20 years ago.

Combine that with the flood of similar crossover and SUV designs on the market at the moment, and it's easy to see why some people say all new cars look the same.

5 Things You Need To Check Before Buying A High-Mileage Car
Buying a new-to-you vehicle can be both exhilarating and terrifying. While searching for the perfect car and imagining all the ways you'll fix it up or personalize it to make it your own can be extremely fun, shopping for a vehicle is also stressful. That's especially true if you're in the market for an older car or a used vehicle with high mileage. High-mileage cars pose unique challenges, including an increased potential to have wear-related damage, which may not always be immediately apparent during a cursory inspection.

In fact, tire replacement can set you back hundreds of dollars, with the average cost of new tires being pretty high.

In November of 1966, Toyota introduced a new little car to showrooms in its home country of Japan, taking on competitors like the Datsun 1000 and Subaru 1000. Two years later, the Corolla landed in the U.S., dwarfed by everything else on the market at the time. Fortunes would change after the 1973 energy crisis, though, when the fourth-generation Corolla helped Toyota grow in the U.S., due largely to being more fuel efficient than the domestic behemoths waiting in line for fuel.

Do V8 Engines Use More Gas Than V6s?
It's a question that seems fairly simple at first glance: Do fewer cylinders really mean less fuel consumption? That is the case, generally speaking, considering less cylinders means less fuel being burned over the same timeframe. So, running two isolated engines with the same size combustion chamber, one a V6 and one a V8, at the same RPM — sure, a V6 easily wins in the fuel efficiency department. But that fails to account for a host of other factors.

As a result, upgrading an air filter with one from the most popular air filter brands is one of the most popular modifications for drivers looking to juice maximum performance out of their car. However, just because you can make a certain modification doesn't mean you should, and there's plenty of evidence out there that shows an expensive air filter isn't necessarily going to give a car a performance boost on its own.

Similarly, you could make a convincing case that the Mustang of the mid-1960s to early-1970s was the most classic as it was the car that started it all. In those discussions, the humble Fox-Body 'Stang of the 1980s can get lost.

Lexus RZ versus Toyota bZ4X: Is The Price Difference Worth It? Here's What Owners Say

One company that has not dived as far into the EV pool as you might expect is Toyota.

This is where mud flaps and splash guards can prove useful allies.
