Kensington Hands-Free Visor Car Kit REVIEW
When I’m barreling down the highway meeting and greeting folks, it can be a challenge (but NOT always safe) to call whoever is deserving of a return call at that moment. I have an iPhone that allows my fingers to flip through the spinning wheel of contacts, but dialing and driving are frowned upon. Some [...]
Bluetooth MP3 steering wheel mount useful for those who never turn the wheel
I’m not disputing the value inherent in this $39 Bluetooth A2DP, Caller ID, Handsfree and MP3 Player FM transmitter.

Lexus IS F fast, fun, Fierce!
“Military Intelligence” seems to have been the poster child for oxymoron for as long as I can remember. Since entering automotive journalism prior to the end of the last millennium I have had extreme difficulty using the words “Lexus” and “performance” to describe each other as well. Not anymore.
2009 Toyota Venza
This week’s Wednesday Walkaround features a look at the all-new 2009 Toyota Venza. Is it a car? Is it an SUV? Is it the new Camry station wagon?
