DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH CAREY RUSS The family sedan isn't going away any time soon, despite the popularity of SUVs. I've just finished a week with a 2003 Ford Taurus sedan, and it seemed that I saw myself, or at least my car, everywhere I went. Which is not all that surprising. The Taurus has been at or near the top ... Continue reading

Maximum ‘X’ – but no game. The new Honda 600 RR is possibly the fastest bike I have ridden on any road. No, it isn’t as quick in a straight line as a Hayabusha nor many other ‘monster’ machines. But 0-100 mph is no slower or faster in real terms than the rest of the super hot rockets ... Continue reading

Review: 2003 Chevrolet Silverado SS - Hot Rod Pickup
Jun 12, 2003
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH CAREY RUSS Pickup truck as sports car? It's not as far-fetched an idea as you might think. A front-engine, rear-wheel drive drivetrain in a vehicle with body-on-frame construction and a ladder chassis, with independent front and solid-axle rear suspensions describes not only a pickup but the ...

Review: 2004 Subaru WRX STi Sedan
Jun 9, 2003
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH CAREY RUSS Subaru discovered performance long before the WRX finally made its way to these shores in 2001. After a brief and unsuccessful foray into Formula One in the late 1980s, using (appropriately for Subaru) a horizontally-opposed 12-cylinder Motori Moderni engine, Subaru found its true ...

Note to FCC : Make TV and Radio Station Owners Reside in The City of License
May 30, 2003
Instead of eliminating the cap on broadcast station ownership the FCC should mandate that, like Congressman and Senators, owners and operators of TV and Radio stations must live in the community that is affected by their decisions. The FCC in their stupidity/naivety continues to try to fix what is not broken. In the ol ... Continue reading

Come on FCC don't ... Continue reading
Review: 2003 Honda Element DX 4WD
May 29, 2003
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH CAREY RUSS People - friends, family, and strangers alike - ask me questions about cars. Interestingly, the car I have been asked about the most over the past year, by an extremely wide variety of people, is neither a 200 mph sports car nor an equally exotic ex-military SUV. It's a simple, ine ... Continue reading
Review 2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
May 25, 2003
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH CAREY RUSS There are plenty of small, reasonably-priced sports sedans available, but few of those could be called luxurious. Leave it to Volkswagen to add luxury touches to the compact sports sedan equation in its Jetta GLI. The Jetta is the most popular European-branded import in the country ... Continue reading
