    If you’ve ever driven Colorado’s highway 6 across Loveland Pass, you know it can be a bit intimidating in the best of weather. With a maximum elevation of 11,990 feet, the road bears the distinction of being the highest mountain pass in the world to remain open year-round. Though the scenery is spectacular, the switchback corners and steep drops are more than a bit puckering for those unaccustomed to mountain driving. In short, it’s not a place to make an error behind the wheel, regardless of what you’re driving or when you’re driving it. When you add an icy road...

  • McLaren's configurator for the MP4-12C Spider

    We love new car configurator sites (especially on Friday afternoons in the summer), but lately the newly-launched configurator sites have been less than captivating. Aston Martin’s configurator for the Vanquish amused us for all of two minutes, thanks to its limited functionality.

Audi’s A4-based allroad configurator was a step in the right direction, but we’d rather waste our time building up sports cars, not station wagons. Enter the new...
