Yes, a black car is harder to maintain because it will always look dirty. I prefer white or silver-gray. As for the heat, that one is up to you. But you will notice it to be hotter inside.

Sometimes I think the socialists want to do the same thing here: Get everyone out of their cars and into public transportation. Yet, the U.S. is a large country that needs its cars, trucks, and highways to move the economy. Contrast this situation to what is happening in Russia: Automobile...

Three on the tree: Once upon a time, in the dark, distant past, I drove a delivery van around Los Angeles with manual shift on the steering column. It also had manual steering and brakes. Even at that time, in the late '70s, it befuddled many of the newbies who were hired to drive the trucks...

As you know, Ford announced recently it is stopping production of its cars except for the Mustang. The Focus will be changed to a small crossover vehicle. I note too that Rolls Royce has now come out with an SUV. So, from upper class to working class, the sedan is dissed. But there are still...
