Why do you advocate Tesla Motors?
Having driven Teslas and other pure electric cars, I don't think Teslas have much to offer other than their appearance. First, although charging is cheap, charging is troublesome and, in many cases, only offsets the economic cost with the cost of time.

Lemon Drop. Top Story - July 2022.
So, there is the story of the Tweety Bird-yellow Cannondale CAAD4 that came into, out of and back into my life in serendipitous ways. I raced on that bike as a CAT IV and then III on the Green Mountain Bicycle Cycling team from 1997 - 2002. I named that bike Lemon Drop. Yellow, yes, but I thought I could reverse jinx myself and my racing career if I had “drop” in its name, a measure of karmic control so I wouldn’t “get dropped” from the peloton in any race, and the bike would perform perfectly, never showing signs that it was a “lemon.” That didn’t work though. Karmic control is an oxymoron afterall.

Why Moving House at Uni is Easier Than You Think
In fact, Save The Student’s National Student Accommodation Survey for 2022 found that students are looking earlier and earlier at houses and flats for the next academic year. Up to 24% of the respondents said they began looking for places before and during November, with the number of people looking getting lower the closer it gets to spring/summer. This will be to save themselves the stress of looking during exam season and to make the transition between accommodations easier.

2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer The large, boxy Grand Wagoneer is predicted to be the priciest and most opulent model in the 2023 Jeep portfolio.

Competitors of the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer include the Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade.

Six spins on the road to victory Pt 1
"...it takes a lot more than deciding to be the last to hit the brakes going into a corner..." Sage words from a young racing driver in the spring of his career in the late 1960's to be heeded by anyone with aspirations of becoming a competitive driver in any of motor sports competitive disciplines.

2021 Ford Mustang
For more than 55 years, the Mustang has built a reputation for stirring performance at prices that the average shopper could afford. Sure, there have been countless improvements along the way, but the tried-and-true formula of two doors, lots of power and rear-wheel drive remains. This doesn't include the curiously named Mustang Mach-E, which is a completely different all-electric, four-door quasi sedan/SUV.

2022 Dodge Challenger
Dodge's big muscle car is a hoot to drive, even if it doesn't feel quite as sharp as the Chevrolet Camaro or Ford Mustang. Of the three, the 2022 Challenger is the most old-school, which makes sense since the design dates to 2008, which itself recalls the Challengers from the early 1970s. This is a big, heavy coupe that feels big and heavy from behind the wheel.

2022 BMW 2 Series
With each generation, the BMW 3 Series sedan (and the related 4 Series coupe) has gotten bigger. The once entry-level Bimmer grew to the point that BMW had room to slot a new, more compact model beneath it. Enter the 2 Series, a rear-wheel-drive coupe about the size the 3 Series was 30 years ago. The 2 Series marked a return to form for the Bavarian automaker, offering exceptional performance in a just-right-sized package.

2022 BMW 4 Series Coupe
If you like the way the 2022 BMW 4 Series coupe and convertible look, chances are you're going to like most everything else about these athletic four-passenger cars. Based on the BMW 3 Series sedan, the 2022 4 Series is broadly appealing aside from its love-it-or-leave-it grille design. Choosing a darker color helps to minimize the bold nose's visual impact, but if BMW wanted to gift Audi and Mercedes-Benz with new customers, it could not have chosen a better method.

2022 Lexus RC 350
If you want a car with curb presence, the 2022 Lexus RC 350 has it. Like a home that draws you in with shaded porticos and intricate flagstone, this Lexus sport coupe cuts a sharp figure with its creased metal, steeply raked windshield and sloping roofline. The RC isn't quite as sporty as it looks, however. Its 311-horsepower V6 engine hauls the car up to speed just fine, but in the curves and corners, the portly RC 350 proves less nimble than its main rivals. The F Sport trim's adaptive suspension and optional grippy summer tires dial up handling performance, but ultimately the RC 350 is more about cruising and comfort than speed or dynamic movements.
