Exclusivity never comes cheap, especially not with automobiles. While ownership of a ‘sports car’ may be within reach, running a ‘supercar’ is out of almost everyone’s league.

Even so, there’s one way to get behind the wheel of the fastest and most exclusive automobiles: rent them!

Marcello Bommarito of Signature Car Collection tells us a little about what’s hot in his garage and settles the discussion once and for all: who makes the best cars?

Which cars do you have for people to enjoy?

Drivers love SUVs. But it’s important not to confuse an SUV with a 4×4; they are not always the same thing. The SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) can be seen as a cousin of the 4×4, but the two are very different beasts, while sometimes having key things in common.

To explain: When someone talks about a 4×4 they mean an off-road vehicle that has a dedicated 4-wheel-drive transmission. These began their lives with the Willys Jeep, which was made to give US forces a light multi-terrain vehicle.

Fans of dragster racing will tell you, ‘it’s all about the speed’. Early racers in the 1930s pushed their cars past the benchmark 100mph, before moving from the Mojave Desert to the newly-founded Santa Ana drag strip.

Today, the need for speed remains at the forefront of racers’ minds. Races take place over the famed quarter-mile and race days see fans congregate in their tens of thousands.

Drag racing was born in the US, and now race fans can even get behind the wheel of these wonderfully powerful machines. read more
