The automotive landscape is changing, but are your tastes? Do you think there’s a car (or truck!) out there that might be your “forever” automobile? Better yet, can you buy it for $68,000 or less? That’s this week’s installment of “Here’s some arbitrary amount of fake money: go buy something.” Here are the rules; they’re
Last week in our ongoing, difficult-to-name series, we gave our editors 48,000 fake dollars to buy something that could tow what was described as a “camper,” but in many countries, would be considered a small home. We, predictably, picked a bunch of ridiculous things technically capable of the task … but yeah, it might not
We’re car people, not camper people. That said, we’ve all been behind the wheel of a truck or SUV with a trailer hitched up, either for our own vacationing purposes or just to test out the capabilities of a new vehicle as part of our test driving duties. So, for this week’s What Would You
This week’s challenge isn’t really much of a challenge. We could probably just title this, “Hey, Autoblog editor, what car would you go out and buy today?” If there isn’t a Miata or two on this list, I would be stunned. In years past, it probably would’ve just been Miatas and GTIs, but with VW
This one should be interesting. The concept is simple: you’re getting a bunch of fake money to buy whichever and however many new or used cars you want. Apart from the two rules below, it’s pretty darn easy. Well, except that I’ve kept the budget low. Forking over $600,000 would make for a kick-ass garage
Sometimes you don’t have to care about practicality or efficiency. In this week’s fun game of spending imaginary money, even reliability isn’t as important as affordability and the ever-important fun factor. We’re diving into the world of vehicular play things; cars that aren’t meant to be daily drivers and don’t really need to be relied
Last week was full of Rolls-Royces, Aston Martins, two-door sport coupes and buying $75,000 Mustangs. In an effort to balance things, our weekly “What would you buy?” series is going to take a sensible turn. It’s also going to be one that’s open to an awful lot of personal interpretation: buy a family vehicle. That
There’s a new Mustang, and Ford’s configurator is finally working for it, allowing every American the opportunity to spend lots of imaginary dollars building one. Or totally real dollars. We’re in the business of spending very fake money around here every Thursday, so that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Because we’re most interested in
OK, it’s time for a calendar-based theme week in our ongoing series of handing our editors wads of fake cash and telling them to buy a car of some sort. This week, to celebrate Canada Day on July 1, we’ve decided to … Wait, I’ve been told by my American colleagues that Americans would rather
The Class of 2023 has taken the stage, accepted their diploma, thrown up silly hats and set forth for what comes next. If that includes college, chances are they’re going to need wheels once away at their new home away from home. And sure, plenty of colleges and universities can be attended without a car,
