Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Never really got the appeal of these, even when they were new. Bloated, boring design that lacked the gravitas of its predecessor. And absurdly expensive, if I recall.

Call me when it grows two more doors. (Ok, don't call, text.)

Carson D I haven't experienced any road rage incidents at all ever since I learned how to apply a PIT maneuver.
Lou_BC I was on a 4 lane highway this summer. Speed limit 100 kph. I was going 110 kph passing a small SUV. I look in my mirror and a F150 is so close on me I can't see his grill. I keep at the speed I'm going. I pass the small SUV. I was going to move over to let him by but the moment there was space he swerved into that lane. He pulled up beside me and started moving over. I kept the same speed. I did not budge. He then floors it and tries to cut me off. ....... ......... ......... What was odd about this was the year before in the same place, a fellow in a Chevy pulling a side by side on a trailer did slmost the same thing. He swerved to pass but almost lost control because his trailer started to wobble.
ToolGuy The drivers I encounter in my travels are all highly skilled, courteous and thoughtful.
ToolGuy Here I am. Rock you like an inline six cylinder with multiple turbos.
ToolGuy I wondered how long the Ultium name would last (which is why I held off on getting my Ultium tattoo).
