Car Reviewer Micah Muzio Names Five Cars He’s Owned and One He Wants

By Betty C. Morrow 3 months ago

Car buyers who do their research usually run their options through Kelley Blue Book, an automotive research company that recommends new and used cars, gives up-to-date pricing and shows car listings.

A component of that, its video reviews, are gaining popularity. With more than 600,000 subscribers on YouTube, viewers have been watching Micah Muzio, the company’s video manager, give his opinions on the latest cars since 2007.

In his experience, he tries to approach every review by asking what problem the vehicle is trying to solve. That’s why he’s much more interested in reviewing minivans than supercars.

“After coming down slightly in February, used car prices remain elevated due to lingering supply constraints, and they are expected to rise again due to geopolitical factors as Russia is a key supplier of materials used to make car parts and microchips,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. “We are also seeing a significant increase in demand for used hybrid and electric vehicles as a result of high gas prices, with the cost of hybrids increasing by 46.9 percent and electrics increasing by 43 percent compared to last year.”

By Betty C. Morrow 3 months ago

Those of us who did not grow up around cool cars, much less ride in them, looked to television and the movies to give us an up-close shot. Through car-focused TV shows and blockbusters on the big screen, like Starsky and Hutch and Batman 1989, we could vicariously get behind the wheel of some of the hottest and craziest rides. And now the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is giving cinema fans a chance to see the most iconic cars and oddball creations featured in film and TV.

Visitors can expect to view popular models from Hollywood’s biggest hits, including the Batmobile driven by Michael Keaton in Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) and Ecto-1 emergency vehicle from the Ghostbusters franchise. 

Based on a 1967 Chevrolet Impala, the V-8-powered Batmobile used Rolls-Royce engine components for the hood-mounted intake and turbine
