Moto Guzzi introduces “The Trip,” its new 500cc motorcycle line from Mandello.

Image
MOTO GUZZI THE TRIP AIMS TO MAKE RIDING EASIER Moto Guzzi’s upcoming The Trip roadster is designed to welcome newer riders without losing the distinctive look and feel of the Italian motorcycle brand. The company says the bike will combine manageable size and relaxed ergonomics with modern technology and an engine suited to both city streets and open roads. The Trip has a stated kerb weight of 180 kilograms and a seat height starting at 790 millimetres. Its upright riding position is intended to feel natural, while its design aims to make low-speed tasks—such as turning in a tight space or moving through traffic—less stressful. Those features could make it appealing to riders who want an everyday motorcycle that is not intimidating to handle. Moto Guzzi’s pitch is that enjoyable riding does not have to be about chasing the highest possible speed or power. Instead, The Trip is presented as a way to make ordinary rides easier and more enjoyable, whether that means commuting through t...

When we have to charge anything, there’s a reassurance we feel when we see the battery is at 100%. We simply want much time with our gadgets as possible before that battery dies. There’s the same feeling with electric vehicles too. If we see that battery percentage dwindling down, we know we have to head home or find a charging station quickly, and the process of recharging can take up more time than we want. To sidestep these issues, a lot of people will just keep their EV plugged in and charging every day to keep it at 100%, but this a charging habit you need to avoid to keep your EV’s battery healthy. That being said, if you’re going on a road trip, you n...

A Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder with Low Mileage Is Now for Sale in the U.S.

Image
LOW-MILEAGE LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SPYDER HEADS TO AUCTION A 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder with just over 5,300 miles is being offered in an online auction in the United States. That is unusually low mileage for a car that is nearly two decades old. The black-and-white Italian supercar is reported to be in very good condition, has no known accident history, and has not been modified. For buyers who want an open-top Lamborghini without buying a new supercar, this Gallardo could be an appealing option. But low mileage and a glossy appearance are only part of the story: buyers will also want to consider the car’s service history, its specialized parts, and the cost of ownership. A CAREFULLY KEPT EXAMPLE The seller reportedly bought the car in August 2025, when it had about 4,334 miles on the odometer. Since then, the seller has added roughly 1,000 miles and says the car came from a private collection. The seller also says they worked to return it to driving condition before deciding...

Tucson Auto Museum to Close After 15 Years; Classic Cars to Be Sold at Auction

Image
TUCSON AUTO MUSEUM PREPARES TO SEND CLASSIC CARS TO NEW HOMES After 15 years of sharing automotive history with the public, the Tucson Auto Museum is closing its doors. Its collection includes classic cars such as polished Cadillacs, iconic Ford Mustangs, and a gleaming Mercedes-Benz. As the museum winds down, many of its vehicles and pieces of memorabilia are expected to find new owners, with organizers hoping some will stay in Tucson. The museum has welcomed visitors from Southern Arizona, other parts of the state, and around the world. Director Otton Suarez said that although the collection has been at its current location for a relatively short time, it has drawn a wide range of car fans. For visitors, the cars offer more than a look at old designs. Their chrome details, carefully made interiors, and distinctive shapes can help tell the story of how cars have changed over the decades. They can also bring back personal memories for people who owned similar vehicles or heard stor...

Young Americans choose cars from around 2000 instead of new SUVs: ‘People give me a hard time’ | US news

Image
WHY YOUNG DRIVERS ARE CHOOSING OLDER CARS For many young Americans, buying a new car has become too expensive. The average new vehicle now costs more than $50,000, while monthly payments can take a large bite out of a paycheck. Experian reports that the average monthly payment is about $765 for a new car and $542 for a used one. Some buyers are signing up for loans that last six or seven years. Those costs come on top of insurance, gas, repairs, rent, and student loans. As a result, fewer drivers under 35 are buying new vehicles. In 2024, they made up less than 10% of new-car registrations, a record low. One alternative is the “Y2K car”: a used vehicle from the late 1990s or early 2000s. These cars are becoming popular with younger drivers who want affordable transportation, simple controls, and the chance to fix or modify a vehicle themselves. Popular examples include older Honda Accords, Toyota Camrys, and compact pickups and vans. Jack Price found his own budget-friendly car in...

Why Do Many New Cars Play Fake Engine Sounds?

Image
WHY ELECTRIC CARS MAKE NOISE Electric cars are known for being quiet. Unlike gasoline cars, they do not have a loud engine running under the hood, so at low speeds they may be hard for people nearby to hear. That quietness can create a safety risk, especially for pedestrians who are blind or have low vision and may listen for traffic to know when a vehicle is moving. To help address the problem, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) required electric and hybrid vehicles to make a sound when traveling slowly. The rule applies when these vehicles are moving forward or in reverse at speeds of about 19 miles per hour or less. Hybrids must also make a sound when they are running on electric power. The speed limit for the sound requirement matters. At faster speeds, tire noise and air moving around the car usually make a vehicle easier to hear. At low speeds, however, a quiet car might approach without giving pedestrians much warning. The required sound does no...

Tim Dowling: Why I Bought an Electric Car—I Wanted a Medal | Family

Image
ELECTRIC CAR BENEFITS MEET THE REALITY OF PARKING Owning an electric car can bring practical benefits, such as lower charging costs when the driver chooses the right electricity plan and charges at night. But as one car owner’s funny story shows, driving an electric vehicle does not guarantee easy parking—or special treatment from other drivers. The narrator explains that people often ask why he bought an electric car. They wonder if he wanted to save money, reduce pollution, or prepare for possible fuel shortages. His joking answer is that he wanted a medal. He imagined other drivers noticing the green mark on his car’s number plate and giving him extra space in traffic. That imagined reward never arrives. Instead, the narrator says, electric-car drivers receive only modest perks. In London, these may include a discount on the congestion charge, along with a slightly shorter vehicle inspection. There is no prize for sitting in traffic, even if your car does not produce exhaust fro...
