BMW Commercial Break: The Ultimate Investment Machine?

BMW-Ad-Ultimate-Investment-Machine-620x180

Last month, trading on the S&P500 neared an all-time high, and the DowJones actually surpassed its all-time peak. So what’s the smart investor to do? In a commercial from the late ’90s—or early ’00s—BMW had the answer. Descending the staircase paying no heed to the market news on his (extremely early) flat screen television, the [...]

The “Turbo” Camaro is Actually Supercharged; But it’s Got 700hp and it’s Awesome

The Camaro “Turbo” Concept made its debut in Chicago back in February. Somehow, I missed seeing pictured of it until Kris Hansen, our man on the scene at NYIAS sent me these shots.

Black Fridays: Cummins vs. Duramax

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire—generally at least. At the starting line, this Duramax is putting out pretty healthy—if you aren’t having to breathe it at least—ammount of smoke. The Ram actually looks like some kind of tree-hugging hybrid in comparison! But while the Bow Tie might be impressive at idle, it’s what happens after the ...

Nitto Tire Returns as King of the Hammers Presenting Sponsor, Sponsoring Six Competitors

Triple-digit speeds, rock crawling, a lack of chase trucks and 165 miles of grueling territory are the elements that define King of the Hammers. When it breaks on the trail—and things will break—the driver and ...
