Hybrid cars made sense. At least in the United States, where diesel cars were almost banned due to strict pollution measures. On the contrary, Europe encouraged the use of diesel in passenger cars, until “Dieselgate” exploded, and we all know the result.In the US, hybrids were perceived as less polluting than their own ICE counterparts While they were only a fraction of total sales, they didn’t bother anyone. But then electric Teslas disrupted the industry and things got crazy.Suddenly, electric cars were the good guys and everyone else was the bad guys. When driven, battery electric vehicles were zero emissions,…

Yes, there are many new sports cars that you can buy today. Toyota has the GR Supra, Nissan brought back the Z, there’s the BMW Z4, Chevrolet Camaro, Ford’s new Mustang, and more affordable options like the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ. While all of them are fast, capable and very competent, they can only aspire to be as cool as a classic JDM car that will also value. These used JDM icons are absolutely badass collector-worthy models from a bygone era, and the cherry on top is obviously the stellar reliability you can expect from a Japanese car. We’ve…
How do I reset the tire pressure light on my Volkswagen? The tire pressure light, or TPMS, is perhaps the most common light that appears on the dashboard. The tire pressure monitoring system exists to alert you to changes in tire air pressure. If the pressure drops too low, a warning light on the dashboard will come on. In Volkswagen vehicles, a noise may be heard when the light is switched on. If you’re driving, having the tire pressure light prompts you to check your tires and inflate them if they’re low, which is great. However, if you have inflated…

In Iredell County we have access to two interstate highways, I-40 east-west and I-77 north-south, which intersect just north of the county seat, Statesville.
