Do not click "play" on the video above just yet. First, clear the surrounding area of all liquids. Half-full coffee cups, entirely full water bottles, bowls of soup: whatever you've got, put it aside. Next, if you wear adult diapers or pads, please ensure that you're wearing the proper gear. If you don't, consider suiting up, just this once. And...
Drift north out of the lights of Santa Barbara, and California gets dark quickly, as if it's trying to extinguish the whole idea of Lompoc. Somewhere in those 3G-free hinterlands, we're surrounded by scrubby wilderness, wrapped in the sound of crashing surf, drifting into a rugged sleep. Until we are mortified by the sound of a skunk rifling...
You know it, we know it, and apparently the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration knows it, too: autonomous vehicles are a-comin'. That's why NHTSA has crafted a set of guidelines (PDF) for states that wish to follow in the footsteps of California, Florida, and Nevada and legalize self-driving cars. In doing so, NHTSA has also created an...
Today at The Car Connection, we saw the all-new 2014 Toyota Corolla revealed and found out that driving in chaotic traffic can be almost as stressful as skydiving for some. We also spent more time with the new Audi Allroad and took a quick spin of the brand’s new A3 g-tron. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car...
It's no secret we've found the current Toyota Corolla to be a boring appliance. While it has fit the transportation needs for those who simply want a very cost-effective vehicle with long-term dependability, the competition has passed it by with stylish vehicles with complex features and technology. For 2014, Toyota's launching an all-new...
Driving can be an escape from some of the stresses of life, and a task that some find relaxing or invigorating in itself. Yet far too often—when traffic snags on the morning commute, or when you see that door ding in the parking lot—driving ranks one of the most stressful activities in our lives. That’s one of the early—and...
Cadillac and Buick customers feel satisfied—extremely so, according to the latest gauge of owner satisfaction. The 17th annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA), from the market-research firm AutoPacific, looks at satisfaction with 51 different vehicle attributes—including things like fuel economy, performance, and interior comfort...
Here at High Gear Media, we're camping people. Clearly. But when GMC invited us to the launch of the 2014 Sierra and promised an actual bed in an actual enclosed structure, we said yes. Actually, first, we cried a little, but don't judge. In this case, the bed was a lavish one, and it came stocked with Nutella, a hot shower, fluffy towels, a...
For those who want butch styling, all-weather all-wheel drive, and a wagon, the 2013 Audi Allroad just might be the right vehicle. But what makes an Allroad different from the other Audi Avant wagons, and are those changes functional or just for show? The exterior is where all the visual changes that make an Audi Avant wagon into an Allroad come...

• 1902: The Rapid Motor Vehicle Company delivers its first truck. This week, we're reviewing the 2014 GMC Sierra, but not without a look back at what got us into the driver's seat. GMC as a brand celebrated its centennial two years ago, but the roots of the company go back even further, to Max Grabowsky’s Rapid Motor Vehicle Co. It was...
GMC says its mantra is Professional Grade. We're not sure if our profession suits the 2014 GMC Sierra, but it's suited for ours, now. After years of catering to people who make things with their hands, and carry things in their truck beds, the Sierra's been plugged in to the world of mobile connectivity--while it's also been carefully, almost...
