A lot of people point their fingers at V8s and high-performance sports cars and say they’re destroying the environment. I think Mother Nature just exacted a little revenge. Eight of America’s sports cars at the National Corvette Museum plunged into a 40-feet wide sinkhole. Luckily, nobody was injured. I’m sure ‘Vette fans will feel a […] More »

Top Gear’s Richard Hammond has been called a “secret American” for his love of U.S.-made performance vehicles, such as the Ford Mustang.

There are few cars more innocuous, more invisible than the Volvo wagon. It is the grandma car.
