Hungry? Driving? Think twice!

Can you eat and drive in Wisconsin?

"Alright, now show me a parallel park." "Did someone say cheese fries?"

“Alright, now show me a parallel park.”
“Did someone say cheese fries?”

Back in driver’s ed (pictured above, that poor hungry girl) we learned a lot about paying attention while on the road. However, with so many drive-thru fast food options and the go-go-go nature of so many of our lives, it’s likely that nobody ever specifically said to us “Don’t eat and drive.” Not even our well-meaning driver’s ed instructor. It’s always been generally accepted that it’s a thing people do – your parents probably did it! How could they ever be wrong? Well…

Alright so let’s cut to the legality of the thing: Can you eat and drive in Wisconsin? Will you get pulled over for biting into your cheeseburger? No, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get you in trouble.  Read the rest of this entry >>

Does the Dodge Dart have a sunroof?

Looks mighty sunny in there...

Looks mighty sunny in there…

The Dodge Dart is one of those cars that can be deceiving at first. Is it super economical or incredibly tech-forward and feature-rich? You’ve got to pick one of those options, right? Turns out, you don’t! This is one model that really defies that need to choose and kicks it right to the curb. So now you must be wondering: Just how good do these features get? Is there a touchscreen available? Does the Dodge Dart have a sunroof? How about heated seats? You might find yourself surprised to learn what’s offered in the 2014 Dodge Dart!  Read the rest of this entry >>

2015 Dodge Viper Price

2015 Dodge Viper price

The 2015 Dodge Viper SRT is one of the most gorgeous vehicles we’ve seen in a while, and we hope our other models don’t hear us say that. It’s true, though. From the impossibly sleek lines to its low, utterly-in-control stance, there’s really not much to argue with in terms of what this red hot model presents to the admiring eyes that would certainly trail it everywhere — if only they could keep up. Alright, but before we “ooh” and “ahh” over a series of pictures of it (and rest-assured, we will do that) we’ll get some business out of the way. For example, the 2015 Dodge Viper price. It’s probably better than you think.  Read the rest of this entry >>
