These are 7 car features that have gone the way of the dodo bird, and I think car companies should bring them back.

I’m here today to show you that you don’t need a million bucks in the bank to make some super cool mods to your car. These mods are cheap, easy, and some won’t even cost you a dime! 

There comes a time in every car’s life when it’s time to face the music and trade it in for something new. If you don’t, you could be endangering your own life and the lives of anyone unfortunate enough to be sitting in your passenger seat.

For a brand that's had an identity crisis for years, the Fairlady 400Z is a glimmer of hope we really thought they’d never build! But they are, and we're going to dig into why Nissan finally did something right with the new 400Z!

Look, there's no shame in not knowing everything about cars. I sure don't, and claiming to know everything only proves that you don't. Still, as a discerning owner, enthusiast, or even basic user of automobiles, there are certain things you should absolutely know how to do. No excuses.

Very few things are more satisfying than nailing the perfect shift in a classic H-pattern gearbox, especially when you know that if you do it wrong, bad things can happen. Ouch, that’s a serious money shift! That’s why you never let your friends drive your race car. Unfortunately, the art of using all four limbs to drive a car is becoming a thing of the past. Thanks to ever-increasing terrible traffic, the invention of lifeless, gearless, CVT transmissions, flappy paddle gearboxes being arguably faster than traditional stick shifts, the rise of electric cars with only forward and backward settings, and lazy drivers optioning for automatic gearboxes, you’d think the death of the classic manual transmission is all but assured.

We here at Ideal think that the slow death of the stick shift is an absolute SHAME! And we’re going tell you why in this article. If you don’t know how to drive manual, hopefully this will inspire you to learn, because there are some serious upsides to shifting with a stick.
