I second Michelin X-Ice if you can find them, Bridgestones if you can't. I have winter tires for the Prius and they've been a big help. Of course, it's been in the 50s so I haven't put them on yet this year. Read more

Ford's marketing approach over the past few years reminds me of a dad who has no idea what the kids like, so he asks his 15 year old son. That's why Ford sponsored American Idol in such a big way. It's why they hired Ryan Seacrest and Joel McHale for the Fusion. And now, Jimmy Fallon. Read more

Since this is really about driving, here's what Jackie Stewart taught me: you should always be smooth.

Granted, we were on the Ford track, and not a race track, but I've tried to incorporate it into my… Read more

We've already seen several concept cars using tablets. This might be a marketing pitch by Apple, as well. Read more
