    Chevrolet Trax: new subcompact crossover

    Never been a fan of GM products, and this one is no exception. It just looks cheap in my opinion. And the all wheel drive system will probably be rubbish for any form of expedition travel. Aftermarket won't be very supportive, etc. In my opinion it will be like a smaller Equinox. Ever heard of a...

    Sorry guys, been busy in the garage for a while. Part 3: Slick Rock, Mountain Views, and Smoking Axles After climbing out and taking a quick peek underneath the Grand, I couldn't see anywhere that the noise could actually be coming from. Drive shaft looked fine minus some leaking near the...

    Hidden treasures of Dahlonega, Georgia

    Part 2: Narrow Tracks, Cigars, and Mountain Lakes We headed north, with no real set destination in mind. We found a road that was labeled on my GPS and we followed it for about fourty-five minutes. Not once did we see anywhere to turn off. The road was the same the whole time. Hard compact...

    Hidden treasures of Dahlonega, Georgia

    There is always a certain level of caution when you decide to embark on a trip of any sort. Regardless of the severity of the trip, there is always an element of uncertainty. The what ifs of a trip like this can boggle a mind and overwhelm the senses. Today is my birthday. Me and my best...

    Lake Lanier Tour

    One of my best friends came up with the idea to take a tour of the local lake. Lake Lanier is a man made lake that was constructed in the mid to late 1950s as a way to supply power to the north Georgia area. It is fed by the Chattahoochie (probably butchered that spelling) river through Buford...
