I love going to auto shows and seeing all the shiny new cars and trucks, despite the fact that I’m a poor college student and blogger who can’t afford to put himself in a new set of wheels.  So I’ll be attending the 2008 Dallas Auto Show, which starts today.

So an electric car sounds rather tempting, right? How about an electric car that’ll go from 0 to 60 in less than four seconds, with a top speed of 125 mph, and that can travel 220 miles on a single charge, without emitting an ounce of carbon? Unfortunately, that car, the Silicon Valley Tesla, […]

China’s economy is booming, and where cars use to be a luxury, they’re becoming more and more common. But surprisingly the Prius isn’t selling too well in China, so Toyota has cut $3,200 off the sticker price — from $39,700, they’ve taken it down to $36,500.
That actually makes me feel better about our relatively […]

Treadmills in general aren’t interesting, but what if you were to spice up the action with a car, particularly a racecar? That’s how they roll in Concord, N.C. where this super-treadmill helps Nascar engineers to better understand their racing machines in motion.

Lately here at FullOnCustom, I’ve criticized Ford for making better cars in Europe than here in the States. But today I’m pleased to bring some good news about Ford: Sales are up slightly due to the Sync multimedia system being offered in Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.
The newly redesigned Focus is leading the charge, […]

Recently Kelly Blue Book’s KBB.com announced their pick for Best New Family Vehicle of 2008: the Subaru Outback. Here at Fulloncustom.com we like Subarus because they’re outstandingly well-built, durable, and fun to drive, and the Outback is no exception.
The Outback serves the same function as an SUV, except it gets decent fuel mileage, and […]

Usually Volkswagens inspire cute and happy emotions, but this Touareg painted in military matte green is more hazardous duty than suburban cutie. Lots of companies make civilian vehicles with Rambo alter egos — Land Rover’s Discovery, Hummer’s H1, the Mercedes Benz G-Wagon — and now Volkswagen has the Touareg.
It’s safe to say this military […]

Wisconsin, probably best known for cheese and the Packers, now claims another distinction: a million-mile Chevy pickup. In 1996 Frank Oresnik bought the ‘91 Chevy Silverado — which he calls “Old Girl” — from the original owner, an elderly woman who had put 41,000 miles on it. After three years of payments and […]

Finally, after years of waiting, Ford has decided to bring a Ford of Europe vehicle to the US market. No, it’s not the Mondeo or the Focus, but the Ford Transit Van — not the most exciting vehicle, but it’s a start. Ford has been producing the Transit in Europe for just over 40 […]

Most of the Superbowl ads were funny, computer-generated fantasies. But the Ford commercial, where an F-150 was slung around on a centrifuge, wasn’t fake — it was real. They built the set around the centrifuge for effect, but then they really hung and swung the truck by its front tow hooks, at 60 mph […]
