Get Free Local Price Quotes at Edmunds.com Made it to Mendocino. It's true what I've heard: "Too cute," and picturesque beyond words. I've avoided it for all these years because of that reputation, but I must admit there's something magical and genuine about it, as well. See for yourself, and after the jump, you'll see [...]

2009 Dodge Viper: Not Such a Bad Road Trip Car
When I got in the Viper to leave for Salt Lake City, it didn't feel like a great road trip car. A bit cramped, hard to see out of and most definitely loud, the Viper seemed like it would be one of those cars I looked forward to driving and then loathed a few hundred [...]

Just a couple leftover notes from my road trip in the Challenger. – Best tank of gas yielded 23.9 mpg. Not bad considering I was running 80 mph most of the time. – The iPod interface works well, but the nav system doesn't let you do much while you're moving. Lame. – There's no actual [...]

2010 Chevrolet Camaro: Family Road Trip
Normally vehicles like our Ford Flex or the XC60 are the vehicles of choice for family road trips. But over the weekend I decided to try out our Chevrolet Camaro by doing a 600-mile trip with my wife and two-year-old daughter. I knew the Camaro would automatically be more interesting to drive than about [...]
