When I met my wife, she was working for a television station in Houston and frankly not making very much money. She drove a Subaru 4-door sedan with a stick shift, which was the kind of car you bought when you were on a budget.
This week we had a chance to drive the Nissan Juke, as in Juke Box. And yes, what it is is pretty much a mystery. It’s based on a car, the little Nissan Versa.
This is the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. It is s convertible, sport ute, car, type of a thing. It is also one other thing. It is a girl’s car. And that’s not an insult.
Aerodynamics don’t really play a big part in the styling of the F-150. The truck says, in effect, “The wind tunnel be damned…I’m a truck!” And so it is tall, blunt and shares a family resemblance with not on
I have to be honest; this was a very difficult car to get out of. Not, as you

2006 was a big year for the littlest Toyota truck. The RAV4 sport utility vehicle got a couple of extra cylinders and a third-row seat. I know, I know…a third-row seat in a mini-ute? I think we might justly term that overkill, eh?
I have to admit, it was hard to get the keys away from me on this one. It is the newest, most fun version of the entry-level Lexus, the IS 350 and the target is those guys from Munich who make that BMW thingy.
I want to confess a personal issue here. No, it’s not that strange night my junior year in college, but it concerns automotive products. I confess to being a bit of a homer.
The Boss 302 first appeared in 1969 and was an immediate hit. And, well, why not? Take a classic 302 cubic inich Ford V8, drop it into an equally classic Ford Mustang, and then just print up a bunch of sales contracts.
Let’s face it, people either get a vehicle like the Toyota FJ Cruiser, or they don’t. by the way, as much as I like this truck, adding Cruiser to the name is, well, dumb.
If you are just the right age, say my age for instance; one of your fondest cinematic memories is the granddaddy of all car chases, the roaring, roller-coaster ride in the Steve McQueen cop flick Bullitt.
