JDM Gear for Guys
Very few cars have a community as tight-knit and competitive as true JDM machines. JDM, which stands for Japanese Domestic Market, is a specialized genre of cars that are really only supposed to be sold in Japan, but occasionally find themselves stateside as well.

I Got to Drive an Audi R8 Spyder!
How could this even happen? I for one didn't think it was possible! The first car I ever owned was a '99 Mazda protégé. It was fun and zippy and I think it just had over 100 hp. I now own a 2010 KIA Forte Koup. Although my relatively newer car is a little faster than my previous car, it only has about 150 hp. The 2018 Audi R8 Spyder has a whopping 600hp! I knew I was in for a hell of an experience!

Best Alternatives to ZipCar
With the turn of the century, a change started in car rentals—there was a demand for hourly rentals at a low price for people who didn't own their own car. Zipcar was on of the innovators in this field, with the ability to lock and unlock a rental with your phone and drive away, all without ever stopping by a rental agency. Since then, peer to peer car rental apps and services has exploded. For daily drivers, membership fees can be steep, but worth the upfront price for the low priced rentals available. If you only need a car for a day or even a couple hours, there are many companies that offer daily rates, and some that offer hourly rates as well. For those that don't like to drive, peer to peer ridesharing services have also become ubiquitous with going out for the night.

Best Car Spoilers You Can Buy in 2018
They're called car spoilers for a reason: because they're an exterior upgrade that has the capability to increase the speed of a vehicle, hence why they are placed on a majority of professional race cars. It's not something everyone will want, but for those who do, it's something special for sure.

Best Blind Spot Mirrors You Can Buy in 2018
Blind spot mirrors are honest to goodness life savers. They help even the most skilled and experienced drivers avoid colliding with other drivers, and are a great way to navigate any roadways in a far safer manner. Yet, as is the case with just about any product you can name, not all are alike or equal in performance or design and function. Yes, most are meant to view cars hiding in your blind spot, and offer support to the rearview mirror and even the side view mirrors. However, some do more than just attempt to illuminate and/or eliminate blind spots.
