While it might make your car look more aesthetically pleasing, you should take steps when getting bigger rims for your vehicle to ensure you’re doing it right. Otherwise, you risk damaging your tires and, in extreme cases, the car itself. And if you’re driving a Benz, that’s simply unacceptable.

Tires are one of the most vital elements of a vehicle, but they are often ignored. On car forums and in car fans’ discussions, tires rarely come into the discussion, and often in the process of swapping the rims. The most common swap involves upsizing. The term means fitting bigger wheels and adequate tires to a car.

From there, things have gone into several directions over the years, and some tuning trends include doing horrible things to tires.

They are abused by fitting them in a “stretched” fashion on inappropriately sized rims. While the aesthetic factor comes to mind, those stretched tires do look good in pictures and videos, but they bring disasters to ride, handling, and safety. Continue Reading

Including the likes of the 2003 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, 1992 BMW 850i, 1997 Aston Martin DB7 and more, the list collected at the linked-to page below shows off a number of cars that were originally sold for over $100,000 but are at incredibly low prices today. As far as that 2003 Benz is concerned, you could buy it and invest in only a handful of engine parts and it’d run like new.

If you’re like any other semi-narcissistic person out there, you probably enjoy owning something desirable and expensive, if only for the virtue of its exclusivity. And if you’re a cheap-ass like me, you’ll enjoy that feeling even more if you don’t go broke chasing it. Thankfully, here are five automotive examples of six figure masterpieces made affordable through the wonders of capitalism. Get your countin’ hand ready.

2003 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG

This Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG was the buff S-class range’s fast one. It had a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that pumped out nearly 500 horsepower with every amenity you, or any human in the next several stages of evolution, would ever realistically need. Continue Reading

Without a powerful flagship version of the AMG in the works, Mercedes Benz apparently lost out on a number of potential sales. To remedy this problem, the auto manufacturer is using the drivetrain from the E63 in the new AMG GLC 63, which is a bit of good news as it delivers more power than the vehicle was expected to have.

As such the automaker seems willing to make up for the lost time and deliver quicker the GLC 63 version – which is now allegedly going to feature an unexpected power enhancement. That’s because while the rumor mill was mulling for the powertrain from the C63 version which would have been used unchanged, reportedly now Tobias Moers – the supreme chief of Mercedes-AMG – has actually commented during a recent interview the crossover would deploy the same powertrain as the one presented in the yet to be released 2017 E63. This means the GLC63 will trump the current rating of 469 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque the C63 has – and of course the GLC63 S version will consequently be more powerful than the C63 S which packs 503 hp and 516 lb-ft.

While it is merely an option right now, cars with automatic brakes are likely going to be a standard addition to cars by 2020. What this means for those of you who want total control with your brakes, you are going to end up driving older cars for the rest of your life. Here’s hoping it makes an undeniably positive impact on our roads.

According to Tech Times, several automakers are aiming to make automatic emergency braking (AEB) standard equipment by 2022. The introduction of the automatic emergency braking safety system in the United Stated virtually guarantees it will also carry over to the Canadian market.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced on its official website a commitment from 20 automakers to make the AEB systems a standard feature by Sept. 1, 2022. The car maker companies entering this agreement represent more than 99 percent of the U.S. automotive industry. Continue Reading

The 375-horsepower 2017 Mercedes Benz CLA is a beautiful machine and it boasts some impressive aesthetic changes from previous years’ models. The most drastic changes made to the 2017 CLA include an AMG aerodynamic package, advanced entertainment controls, LED headlights, smartphone integration and more.

Really, the only thing someone might want to change on the Mercedes Benz CLA is to swap out the rims for something more personal.

Mercedes-Benz has bestowed the 2017 models of CLA a minor mid-life makeover, packing in a 375-horsepower engine, high-performance headlights, smartphone integration and more.

Way back 2013, Mercedes-Benz initially rolled out its CLA compact sedan in the United States.

While the four-door CLA is the German automaker’s first compact car in the United States market, it was well-received by consumers. In fact, the automaker managed to sell nearly 30,000 of the sedans in 2015. Continue Reading

The IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) just recently rated a variety of stock headlights. A handful of the cars tested by the IIHS didn’t meet the organization’s car electronics’ standards. Even a Mercedes Benz C-Class’s headlights received poor, non-passing ratings. Do you have a new C-Class? Are your headlights better than what’s reported by the IIHS?

ARLINGTON, Va. (April 5, 2016) — The Toyota Prius v is the only midsize car out of 31 evaluated to earn a “good” rating in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) first-ever headlight ratings.

The best available headlights on 11 cars earn an acceptable rating, according to the IIHS, while nine only reach a marginal rating — and 10 of the vehicles can’t be purchased with anything other than poor-rated headlights.

The Arlington-based institute’s evaluation also found that a vehicle’s price tag is no guarantee of decent headlights, with many of the poor-rated headlights belonging to luxury vehicles. Continue Reading
