This incredible car is a unique beast from the days of Italian supercar domination.

Italian Supercars are some of the most sought-after vehicles within the automotive industry for their incredible power output, tight handling, and emphasis on all things performance. Practicality is a luxury that these cars can afford to lose with their ridiculous price tags and beautifully crafted exterior and interior coupe design. While many vehicles can give you a lot of power, or luxury, or a sleek design, the supercar seeks to combine all of these aspects. It should go without saying that Italy is most often the frontline for producing these great cars. This car is a perfect example of that distinct focus on power and design that the nation is known for.

This new canyon carver from 1988 was the first Cizeta-Moroder V16T ever to be produced as it

Best car power inverter for 2021

By Michael J. Moody 1 month ago

Most modern cars, trucks and SUVs are packing a couple of USB ports, which is fine for charging a phone or two. But for drivers needing to charge larger electronics like laptops, cameras, drones or power tools, a USB port just won’t cut it — for big power on the go, you’ll need an inverter.

In-car power inverters come in various shapes and sizes with a variety of uses beyond just charging gadgets. An inverter can power a game console to keep the kids entertained on a long road trip. In an RV, inverters provide AC power for small home and kitchen appliances like blenders, toaster ovens, microwave ovens and more.

By Michael J. Moody 5 months ago

Despite dwindling inventories on dealer lots, J.D. Power and LMC Automotive are predicting 12.4 percent global year-over-year new vehicle retail sales growth in June. The numbers are good news for automakers and dealerships who are feeling the effects of superconductor chip shortages and supply chain parts production issues.

“The recovery in global light-vehicle sales continued in May, with sales up 35 percent from May 2020,” said Jeff Schuster, president of Americas operations and global vehicle forecasts at LMC Automotive. “But the combination of various COVID-19-related restrictions and the semiconductor crisis is holding back the level of recovery.”

J.D. Power and LMC Automotive predict that retailers will sell 1,133,900 units in June, a 0.3 percent increase over June 2019 when adjusted for selling days. June 2021 and 2020 have the same number of selling days, which is one fewer than June 2019. Without adjusting for the number of sales days, volume
