A Wisconsin man says his Chevrolet Silverado is going to hit 1 million miles...I think the most surprising aspect of this is that it's only a 1991 model year Silverado. He's been putting about 85,000 miles a year on it since he bought it used in 1996.I don't know how much he paid for his 5 year old Chevrolet Silverado, or what trim level it was. But, for the sake of arguement let's assume it was

If you're looking for a Volkswagen dealer around Enfield, CT, you should check out Lia Volkswagen. I was passing through Enfield, and as I often do (oddly enough) while traveling is stop into car dealerships. I've worked at a few and have always had a passion for cars.Anyway, I was really impressed. I stopped in because the dealership itself looks amazing (kudos to the architect) but the

Head on over to Jalopnik for some scans of a pamphlet for the Dodge Challenger SRT8. Word is that they've been confirmed as actually photos of the production version of the Dodge Challenger. There's a lot of interest in this vehicle. The orange is my style, but the black (in that photo showing 3 different color variations) has "badass" written all over it.Visit this dealerships for a new Dodge,

Did you see the top 10 things you should never say to a car salesman here? They list things like:"I'll take whatever the popular options are", "Oh, I've wanted one of these all my life,"and "I'm ready to buy now."Surprisingly, the below was not present:1 - How many bodies can I fit in the trunk?2 - If I were to put this in my garage, how long would it take to fill up with carbon monoxide?3 - If I

If you're looking for a new Ford vehicle around Mechanicsburg and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, I recommend checking out McCafferty Ford. Their inventory is massive, and the salespeople are great! They're very helpful, will answer all of your questions, and are very nice.I recently purchased a Ford Edge and I totally love it! It's a great vehicle, it's awesome looking and a lot of fun to drive. For

This is a sweet looking car, even if it's only big enough for G.I.Joe to drive. Hot Wheels ran a design contest, and the Mitsubishi Double Shotz was one of the winners (thanks to the folks at Jim Norton Mitsubishi of Tulsa for the heads up), so while you will be able to purchase this, you won't find it at a dealer, but rather you're local toy store. It's an awesome design, and I'd love to see

Here's a rundown of the Auto Shows coming to a city near you, and a bunch of cities probably very far from you. These are typically the best opportunities to see the latest concept cars and production models.European Motor ShowJanuary 17-27, 2008Brussels, BelgiumWebsite: http://www.salonauto.be/North American International Auto Show (NAIAS)January 19-27, 2008Detroit, MIWebsite: http://

In all the hoopla of the Tokyo Motor Show and the new concepts being displayed, I had to show this even though it's old.Of course the image begs the question, what's that hose pointed at the dog for?Well, thanks to high-tech imaging software developed by NASA, we can answer that question and actually display 2 possible explanations for it.You'll see, clearly, in the above image that it's

I remember hearing something about a fine line between genius and madness.I also remember hearing something about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.Behold, in the tradition of the question "Why?", the Toyota Prius Limo!This Canadian-made monstrosity was probably brought to us by a guy who sprinkles tobacco on his cure for cancer.

In Japan you can get an iPod like device that can get HDTV over the air...no joking.So, to continue their dominance of all that is cool, the Mazda Taiki (a car-like-device) was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show.

Imagine your vehicle warning you when a slippery part of road is just up ahead. or that construction is around the corner. Maybe you get a beeping noise when the genius in front of you begins to swerve, or your brakes initiate automatically when he slams on his.These intelligent vehicles that are being worked on sound great, UNTIL....And don't think K.I.T.T.'s superior parking ability is going to

Scratch that.It's not an evil hybrid cat/Mars Rover with LCD display made by Friskey's...but a hybrid sports car by Fisker.I'm so easily confused some days. If you've got $80,000 to spare it's a nice looking plug-in electric. Personally, I'll have $80,000 before I have a spare electric outlet (cell phone, laptop, desktop, iPod....).

That's it, just up there, the Hummer H4 ... or maybe it's the one down below, the one that looks all squishy.I'd like to see a smaller Hummer model, with truck-like rear and open top. Sounds maybe like an unHummer, or a notHummer, but you can't change my feelings about it! So bug off!General Motors is hinting at a 2009ish model release of the H4 to compete with the Wrangler. Yes, the Wrangler

Nothing like starting an auto blog with a downer.But, the news is the news and you aren't supposed to harm the messenger...er...blogger. Auto makers announced that April's sales for 2007 fell below those of 2006. Not even Toyota, who has been increasing sales by 10% and up, wasn't immune with a drop of just over 4%. Ford dropped about 13%, and GM about 10%.The car manufacturers chalked the loses
