How does one begin a karting career?Karting career that transforms into an auto-racing career that is. Obviously you need the kart, suit, helmet, supplies, knowledge on the kart itself, etc...But are there 'license tests' to take to be in certain classes? Any advice? Thanks!

LOS ANGELES -- When it comes to new cars, green is good. But for red-blooded Americans, this year's L.A. Auto Show rolls out the engine growls and tire squeals with splendor.
Of more than 50 vehicles that debuted at the L.A. Convention Center on Friday, more than half fall in the performance and luxury category.
The downtown exhibition shows off more than 1,000 new vehicles, including the 2013 Chevy Camaro ZL1, containing a 580 horsepower supercharged V-8, billed as the world's most powerful production convertible. Or the all-new XTS, billed as the most high-tech Cadillac in history.

Looking at Kia’s lineup and its clear it is one for those who don’t want to blend in. Bold, sharp designs that make you love them or hate them. Hyundai’s fluid styling is less polarizing.

Now there’s the mark of a successful advertising campaign…..
At Chicago Kia is either offering us a preview of the next Soul (which is a way out) or a new sports model. Lets hope it is the former. As far as funky small coupes go, Hyundai has the Veloster. Kia is left without one, selling the more mainstream Koup. Ditching the four-door layout of the Soul, the Track’ster is, as its name implies, designed for the track in mind.

A track-going Soul might have been a laughable thought, but the Track’ster is unlike any Soul you’ve ever seen. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 250 horsepower. Instead of front-wheel drive, the Track’ster puts power to the wheels through an all-wheel drive system. Its pretty much the concept of a hot hatch and one that has styling win written all over it. The Track’ster is low to the ground and decked out in a white and red color scheme.
