Two weeks ago I posted the rendering of the next RX model from Mazda that was supposed to be revealed in Tokyo. This was released last week and rumor has it that it will be a rotary engine that will be producing 450 hp.
When you're driving with the navigation on your smart phone, you usually have to get out of the current navigation and search for the nearest gas station which is usually out of the way. I travel every day for work whether it's train, plane, and cars. When I do travel by car, I used Google maps and usually have to get out of the app just to find gas.
I am looking forward to this update because I NEED it for daily use. The update is coming out within the next few weeks and I can't wait!
Consumer Reports took off Tesla from reliability tests because of complaints with charging, noises, and other complaints with the car. It was on top earlier this year from Consumer Reports but since this report came up, Tesla shares went down 10%.
I have recently studied Tesla's marketing and how they have been dubbed as the "Apple Store" of the auto industry. They have been doing very well and shares have been going up for the company. But a nearly maintenance free vehicle, how can you fix it if it breaks down? Can you go to a trusted mechanic? The answer is, nope, they most likely need to be trained by Tesla, how can you get those electric motors fixed?
It'll be a while until electric cars can go to a trusted mechanic, in my opinion, it's more like going to a trusted "electrician".For now I'll stick with Hybrids and Gas engine cars. Tesla is also having charging issues from customer complaints and charging stations are still being made around the country.
Okay, yesterday was October 21, 2015 which was the day that Marty McFly traveled. I posted a video yesterday and I hoped you found it hilarious. I saw this video from College Humor and I hope you enjoy this one.
Today marks the day that Marty McFly went to the future from 1986. We waited for the Hovr Boards, self-lacing shoes from Nike, and to flying cars. Some came true, some didn't, and remember the Chicago Cubs are supposed to win the World Series today. Here's the preview for the next Back to the Future. Enjoy!
Here are more pictures from the event which you can also see on my Instagram page. I had also seen the newest Honda Civic that everyone was talking about. It's going to be turbo charged for the four door and I cannot wait to see the next Si and the Type R Civic that is due the end of next year.

Hey there guys! I'm sorry I've been out last week. I have been out to this yearly event called IMPA (International Motor Press Association) where all the journalists, bloggers, and manufacturers meet to show off and test new cars that are coming out. The drive is beautiful on the way up to Monticello, where you will see these leaves change in the mountains, and the fog every morning.

The moment you drive inside the Monticello Race Track, it is like a paradise for those who love cars and racing. The first day was about local driving with the new cars. The second day was track day with the new cars right after the you get a briefing on how to drive on the track.

I tried going on the off road the first day with Land Rover and it was an amazing experience. The off road track also had an amazing view of the lake where you can also see the foliage.
Well, I'm going to Fall IMPA and I'll be away until this Wednesday. I left some videos for you guys to check out and I hope you guys enjoy some posts. I'll keep you guys updated with some cool cars that I get to see during this event.
According the USA Today Los Angeles is number 1 when it comes to rush hour traffic. I've been to Los Angeles and I don't think it tops off New York. Imagine being stuck for an HOUR going around one city block by the Freedom Tower? How about taking 30 minutes going on a straight road where you only had to travel less than half a mile away?
Below is what USA Today ranked with the cities that you may want to avoid traffic.
Here's a look at 10 U.S. cities you might want to avoid during rush hour, according to the rankings.
1. Los Angeles 2. San Francisco 3. Honolulu 4. New York 5. Seattle 6. San Jose 7. Miami 8. Chicago 9. Washington 10. Portland
I am a tough teacher when it comes to driving in the track and also during test drives. One thing I don't like is being unprepared during class or when people coming to me without any knowledge thinking that it's hard to drive manual.
This is a video from The Verge having to drive the Model X. I had never driven a Tesla but seeing these cars in the mall is very interesting .Tesla does not use dealerships to sell their vehicles and seeing some supercharging stations around the country in different rest stops looks like a great deal.
A great deal if you're local I guess?
I'm not sure about taking an electric car cross country because I have tried driving a few electric cars upstate and over 100 miles and it is...TOUGH.... I had to scout for different charging stations and on the way, fearing that the car would die on the way or be stranded in the middle of no where with an electric car.
Charging stations for Tesla are evolving and growing but only in some certain cities. I haven't seen much in Central Jersey and South Jersey. Check out the video to see how advanced this ride is.
Look who's back! The worlds favorite car dudes started filming for their next adventure. (No longer Top Gear just to remind you). I can't wait until we see their next gig!
