How could you recommend tires without driving on them first? See the guys at Kost Tire as they experience the new Hankook Optimo H426 and Ventus V12 EVO.

Last weekend I had the chance to drive a new Fiat 500 for the first time. It’s such a great little car! The weather has been unusually warm so I put the top down, grabbed my camera, and headed to a nearby lake. A few people stopped to take a look, and one guy even asked if it was like the car J.Lo was driving in the commercial. Yep, it’s a chick car… Luckily, there’s a turbo Abarth model coming that should be a little less girly.

Thanks to my friend Jon for helping me get the rolling shots, and Michelle for letting me borrow her new car!

Well, at least for this season. It’s getting cold in the Northeast! A couple months back I picked up my first sport bike, a 2008 Kawasaki ZZR600. Overall, I’m pretty happy with it.

Some riders out there would recommend a parallel twin(2 cylinder) engine, like a 250 or 650 Ninja for your first bike. For my size I think anything smaller would leave me feeling cramped.

I’m 6′ about 185lbs. and the ZZR fits me just right! It’s no cruiser, but it won’t punish you on longer rides like some super sports.

Quick 0-60 run with Jerry’s Mercedes C63 AMG. I can remember seeing the commercial filled with screeching burnouts and tire smoke when the C63 was first released. They said “400hp will take your breath away.” They were right!
