It's been two months the Carbon Flex has been on my company truck. I have to say I continue to be impressed with it. I'm still really liking the Crystal Seal on my Camaro, but it get's treated much...

I have a hose with a hot and cold tap right outside my shop, so washing the conventional way is easy. I live in the desert, and it's sunny more than it's not. When I wash the car outside I pull it...

Of the cars listed I think the Camaro is the most visceral. American pushrod V-8's have always had a visceral sound and vibe. With the Gen 6 they put one in a chassis that actually handles and...
