There Won’t Be Another Four-Cylinder Or Hybrid BMW M Car Anytime Soon
That car above is the original BMW M3. Under its hood lived four mighty cylinders of fury, each working hard to scream to a 7,250 RPM redline without even needing the help of a turbocharger. It was a mighty machine! But we haven’t seen four-cylinder M cars in some time, and it looks like we […]

Why Is Turnover So High In Car Sales?
According to Automotive News, the average annual turnover for sales people in the auto business is 67 percent. Which is a lot!

Guess What These Two Cars Have In Common
See those two cars there? One’s a thick, dripping slice of American muscle car, designed to murder tires and peel out of Dairy Queens.
