| Fireball Run: Turning The Chevrolet Camaro SS Into A Social Media Command Center Posted: 22 Sep 2010 02:41 PM PDT  As we mentioned earlier we are going to be bringing you along with us for the Fireball Run. That's right! To do that we are bringing quite a bit of electronics (still hoping our actual clothes fit in the car after our electronics go in). So lets get to it. Joel's MacBook Pro Nelson's Sony Vaio Tim's Compaq Presario Joel's Nikon D500 Joel's Canon...

| The TCC List: The Best Seats in the House Posted: 22 Sep 2010 01:30 PM PDT  Few factors can make a great car even better--or kill the performance thrill entirely--like car seats. In the 260-plus cars we review each year here at High Gear Media, most just pass across our backsides without much positive or negative impression. But a few seats stand out in our minds as some of the best you can plant yourselves in. And a...

| Fireball Run: I'm Going To Race Valentino Balboni Posted: 22 Sep 2010 01:30 PM PDT  Valentino Balboni. Lamborghini's test driver of the last 40 years, the now-retired Balboni has a special-edition Gallardo made in his honor. He'll be driving one in the Fireball Run. And I have to race him. The 2010 Fireball Run will be the first time Balboni has participated in a multi-day road rally anywhere in the world. OK, so it won't be true...

| Ford Ranger: A Bugs' Worst Enemy Faces Extermination Posted: 22 Sep 2010 12:34 PM PDT  With the spike in reports of infestations everywhere--from hotels to second-hand stores to the Empire State Building--the lowly bedbug has the Web buzzing with more plentiful, and sometimes more positive, news coverage than the average C-list actress. Still, some killjoys are looking for ways to stamp out the notoriously rugged pests--everything...

| Posted: 22 Sep 2010 12:00 PM PDT  The Basics: Safety and convenience features aren't forgotten in the Camaro—even for the high-value base V-6 model. Six airbags are standard (four in front with side-curtain airbags that extend to the second row), as are anti-lock brakes, traction control, and dynamic stability control, and crash-test ratings have been good, if not...

| Posted: 22 Sep 2010 11:46 AM PDT  In case you haven't heard, High Gear Media is competing in the 2010 Fireball Run.

| Volkswagen Building Engines in Mexico for Tennessee Sedan Posted: 22 Sep 2010 11:37 AM PDT  Volkswagen's expanding again, this time with an engine plant in Mexico that one day will feed its North American factories with powertrains for at least two new sedans. VW confirmed in a press release that the new plant in Silao, Mexico--not far from a GM factory that houses assemby for pickups and SUVs--will be up and running in 2013. The German...

| RIP Eddie Bauer, 1991-2010 (Trucks and SUVs, That Is) Posted: 22 Sep 2010 10:00 AM PDT  When the 2011 Ford F-150 goes on sale in October, truck shoppers will be confronted with the usual panic-inducing array of choices: powertrain choices, bed choices, cab choices, audio choices, even trim-level choices. Those F-150 trim packages include stalwarts like the XLT, Harley-Davidson, FX2 and Raptor--but you won't see an Eddie Bauer edition...

| Today in Car News: Nissan 240SX, Night Driving and EVs Posted: 22 Sep 2010 08:15 AM PDT  The latest estimates on the auto-industry bailouts are in--and GM shares would have to be priced above $133 for us to get back all our $49.5-billion investment in the automaker. [Wall Street Journal] Nissan won't build you a new 240SX, but would you be interested in something like a Sentra coupe instead? [Autoblog] What if texting and driving just...

| General Motors Makes Campaign Donations As IPO Nears Posted: 22 Sep 2010 08:02 AM PDT  During its bankruptcy and restructuring last year, General Motors suspended all giving to political campaigns. It was the right thing to do for a number of reasons, but perhaps most importantly, it was a PR move: GM needed to show the world that it was using every dollar at its disposal to improve its way of doing business. But now, with the...

| Posted: 22 Sep 2010 04:27 AM PDT  The Basics: The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro returns for its second model year with only a few minor changes. The high-shouldered, cartoonish exterior, scorching performance, and muscle-car attitude carry over with all the force of before.
