The idea of looking at great movie cars started out as just that, great. But going back through the movies led to a list that quickly got over 50 entries - not all great, but all memorable as central to the movie. So we started paring that list down and came up with a much shorter list of 14 movie cars. Now this is all movie cars, some of which started on TV and became popular enough to be part of a movie. From the movies to the music. One of the groups that has made extensive use of their cars...

There are some vehicles that simply catch the imagination, no real rhyme or reason, but we become fascinated with it anyway. The 'Hummer' is one of those vehicles. It has been developed in several different 'forms and trims', with most revolving around a brute force power and style. In 2024, GM plans on the next generation of Hummer, an all EV Hummer. We talk a look at what it is and what it proposed to do. Do you need one? In our Feature segment, Don Armstrong has been in the New Car Showroom ...

Living along the Texas Gulf Coast, stormy weather is pretty common, and an occasional hurricane can create a lot of problems. Not long ago, an area in SE Texas set a national record for rainfall that not only flooded homes but thousands of cars.

We do new car reviews, a lot of new car reviews on In Wheel Time Car Talk. Somewhere around 100, so we see a lot of the newer technology. As we have a limited time to spend with the vehicle, we have to learn really quick, but it is not too bad as the technology varies in how it is access or rather the user interface.
