Last week, reader James L took us across the Atlantic to tease us with sporty English sedans and wagons with American Ford V8 power. Developed out of the ashes of BMW’s sale of Rover Group, the MG ZT was meant to be a sportier version of the stately Rover 75 sedan. But Rover didn’t stop there; i5 decided to turn its front-wheel-drive Rover 75 and MG ZT sedan and wagon into a rear-wheel-drive hot rod using firepower from America....

[Full disclosure: Ford let me borrow this Bronco Sport Outer Banks for a week so long as I returned it with a full tank of gasoline and wrote an article on it.] What Makes It Tick? Given how the Bronco Sport is based on the Escape, it shouldn’t be surprising to hear that things under the skin are nigh-on identical. All Bronco Sport models, save for the top Badlands trim, get Ford’s 1....

Yes, the 2023 Chrysler 300C is essentially a Dodge Charger Scat Pack in luxury duds. This means 485 horsepower, 475 lb.-ft. of torque, and a quoted zero-to-60 time of 4.3 seconds. Brisk stuff. Power goes to the rear wheels through an eight-speed ZF-derived automatic gearbox and a limited-slip rear differential for proper two-tire fires. Bringing everything back down to sane speeds is a set of four-piston Brembo brakes, while adaptive dampers will try their best to make the big Chrysler a bit like a linebacker in ballet flats....

If anything, there’s a reason for Lincoln’s smallest crossover to wear a bit of a long face. The optional zesty 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has been axed, which is rather unfortunate. While choices of a 250-horsepower two-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and a 266-horsepower plug-in hybrid are quite sufficient for the segment, the 295-horsepower range-topper was sneakily potent. Instead of performance, Lincoln now seems to be focusing on advanced driver assistance systems....

If you don’t have vending machines installed in your office yet, you should think about doing it soon. You can help your employees steer clear of getting “hangry” throughout the workday by supplying them with vending machines filled with snacks.

JC Whitney itself is sort of an amazing thing: they still sell car parts online to this day, and they started way back in 1915 as a scrap metal yard run by a Lithuanian immigrant named Israel Warshawsky. His son realized catalogs could be a big thing, and actually sold catalogs for a quarter starting in 1934, and then kept cranking out these massive newsprint tomes of car parts for decades and decades....

Yes, exactly, that Taylor-Dunn Bigfoot. The trucks that make up the very backbone of the shadow trucking industry that runs in parallel to the big, road-going prima donna trucks that hog all the attention. While those F-150s and Silverados are out there, showily hauling three bags of soft, well-packaged peat moss across paved roads smooth as pudding skin before retiring for the night in a heated garage, thousands of people are backing Taylor-Dunns up to loading docks and roll-up doors and piling them full of sharp, filthy whatevers that need to be hauled across a campus or warehouse or through the dark, labyrinthine corridors of a convention center or prison or refinery or research lab or any of the thousands of other places that swarms of diamond-plate-skinned Taylor-Dunns roam and work....

If you’re buying used cars, you’re likely to get extended auto warranties. These are also called extended service contracts, service agreements, or mechanical breakdown insurance. No matter the name, they all mean the same thing, and most promise to pay unexpected breakdown repair costs after the expiry of the manufacturer’s warranty. But are extended warranties worth it? Well, this depends on the individual situation. Here is a guide to extended warranties that can help you find the answers you need....

On July 3, Vincent Fraser took his 1967 Aero Commander 100 for a flight above the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina, reports the Washington Post. Fraser, a fresh pilot with about 100 hours in his logbook, was taking his father-in-law for a ride above the mountains when every pilot’s nightmare became reality. At about 5,500 feet above ground level, the Aero Commander’s Lycoming O-320 flat four piston engine sputtered to a stop....
