Picture this: you’re taking your peaceful, comfortable ride to work in the morning, thinking about the day ahead. Suddenly, a faint, high-revving roar creeps into the cabin of your car. Pretty soon, the sound is deafening, demanding your attention. Before you can turn around, a red Ferrari whips past your car with a guttural Italian [...]
Saxon Mountain Trail Lets go on a Colorado Off-Road Adventure and explore an old gold mine on Saxon Mountain. Might there be some gold left? Back in 1866, two poor broke miners lucked out and discovered a rich ore deposit on the north face what would be know later as Saxon Mountain. Due to the [...]
Few things can snarl traffic quite like the sight of a stranded exotic car. On the side of a highway, a basalt black 2012 Porsche 997 Turbo S Coupe lay seemingly helpless, hazard flashers blazing. Except that this Porsche flagship is not stranded; it is waiting to pounce. And this may be the only [...]
I like where America is going with these beefy V6s sitting in the engine bays of muscle cars. For a while, Dodge trailed Ford and Chevrolet with an anemic 6-banger. Now, there’s a lovely 305 horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 that puts out a respectable 268 lbs-feet of torque while getting 26 mpg highway. Yes – [...]

Once again the Top Gear boys are back and this time they’re on the way to Albania. Yes, that’s right Albania and why would Richard, Jeremy and James go to Albania? To test drive the new baby Rolls Royce of course. Actually that’s not entirely true. The Top Gear boys go to Albania to test [...]
Time flies when you are driving cars…so it is hard to believe that we’ve now been in the car news, views, and reviews business for just over two years. In that time we’ve driven, reviewed, and tested cars from around the world. It would be pretty straightforward to compose a top ten list of the [...]
(The Nissan 370Z parked at the famous, "haunted" Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO) As road trips go, Estes Park, Colorado is about two hours from my home – so it’s not much work to get there. Taking the back roads through Boulder, Colorado can add an additional hour to the journey and treat [...]
By: Nathan Adlen Camping sucks. We’ll get to the photo of that cantankerous driver in a moment. Check out this list: Three sleeping bags, a (massive) seven-man tent, two coolers, a cooking set, a two-burner stove w/propane, two backpacks with clothing, large diaper bag AND a baby carrying backpack. What do these things have [...]
So what's faster…a Shelby Mustang or an airplane? Last week we decided to race from Boulder to Aspen, Colorado. In this corner a 2011 Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500. In the other corner a commercial Frontier airlines turbo prop plane. So which one got to Aspen, Colorado first.
