Chevrolet truck models good alternative to Ford
OK, I know there are a lot of you Ford F-150 fans out there. But, hey, Chevy makes a great pickup, too, and even though the F-150 is all new for 2004, the Chevrolet Silverado — last completely redesigned in 1999 — remains a formidable and competent alternative. (

Fast and loud? Must be a Cigarette Cigarette continues its wave of go-fast tradition with its biggest model, the 46 Rider, capable of speeds around 115 mph.
Imagine the exasperation of Cigarette's competitors when they hear someone refer to an offshore speedboat, generically, as a ''Cigarette.'' Such is the immense popularity of the Cigarette Racing Team that dominated powerboat racing through the '70s and remains competitive in the 35-to-46 foot range. (

Dirty tricks: Motocross class teaches 'whoops' and more South Florida's first class in motocross at Big Cypress draws a select few yearning to learn more about how to conquer bumps, hills and valleys of dirt.

CAR TALK Even popular cars can leave a bitter taste
Dear Tom and Ray: A friend of mine, Chris (his real name), is about to buy a U.S.-made car, brand-new, off the showroom floor. I suggested that he might want to consider buying a model of which lots of units are sold. It's my idea that the more popular a car is, the less likely he will be to end up with a lemon. Also, if a car is common, repairs and replacement parts might cost less. Is this a good strategy for buying a new car, or am I all wet? (
