Today, Lamborghini is known for wild, angular vehicle designs and price tags that equal what many people pay for their house. The Italian car company captured the world's attention in the 1970s thanks to the Countach, a supercar that was like none other. With the increased attention on the company came anticipation about what the raging bull would do next, meaning the next car had to be something spectacular.

That spectacular follow-up model was the Diablo.

Crashing a vehicle can be an incredibly scary experience. Fortunately, I've never been in a serious car crash, but I've seen a few in person and many, many on video. Car crashes become even scarier when you are a parent and you realize that you have precious cargo on board, which is why I've made a conscious effort to purchase safer vehicles in the past several years.

Back in 1987 the engineering minds at Buick had a great idea: take everything they had learned up to that point on turbocharging and pour it all into one final hurrah for the Grand National. To the untrained eye, the GNX doesn't look like much, other than a boxy 1980s American coupe that is strangely all black. It's what lurks under the skin of that rogue beast that has made the car a classic, even though I will be the first to admit it's pretty damn ugly.

The first car I ever drove on a regular basis was a Honda. Since then I've owned three, almost owned a couple more, including an Acura. There are some great things about Acura, even with all of its current baggage.

Car Fights!

The automotive industry obviously fascinates me, for many reasons. One thing I always find quite funny is when car companies start to take shots at each other, not because I like the fighting but because sometimes the digs can be quite creative.

How to Handle a Car Defect

Car defects are back in the news in a big way right now, what with Toyota paying out a huge amount for covering up the unintended acceleration problem and still facing criminal charges in the United States. There's also GM and the drama surrounding the faulty ignitions it has done nothing about for over a decade. Both have been hot-button topics in the automotive world and even at office water coolers, considering a humongous chunk of the United States drives either a Toyota or GM vehicle.
