    New cars and locking out of scan tools

    Dodge to cancel Charger and Challenger next year

    Discontinue the charger is really surprising considering lots of law enforcement buy them. Ford changed the crown Vic’s to the explorers and they sold well. Chevy had the impala and caprice which changed to the Tahoe. Chrysler only really had the charger to sell with the exception of the grand...

    Top Gun Maverick: Review hopefully no major spoilers

    It was really well done. My son never saw the first one so I had to explain some things to him. The mission was the same as the original Star Wars when they have to blow up the Death Star.
