My best friend Jacob is fond of using the term “boss status.” If you possess it, you feel cool – as if you run things, no matter where you are. I certainly had it during the week in which I drove the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado High Country 4WD. For most of it, anyway. Attaining such […] More »

Hennessey Performance, in their never-ending quest for more performance, have decided to take an unusual approach to bumping up the ZL1’s […] More »

 That’s all, folks. The eighth and final Corvette has been removed from the National Corvette Museum sinkhole. A 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 – or what very little was left of it – was crane-lifted from its tomb of almost two months. Kevin and Linda Helmintoller of Tampa, Florida donated the tuner special to the NCM […] More »
