Celebrate the things that drive you
Its time for all my casual surfing of the used car market to pay off, I’ve decided to get another car. There are so many cars I’d like to have, but budget and circumstances are always in play, and this time is no different. This will be my 21st vehicle, so as you can tell,
I’m at 35,000 feet, no new podcasts, the wifi isn’t working, and I’ve already read the airline magazine. It’s time to go back to an old friend to keep me occupied, the “Dream Garage Game.” The Dream Garage Game is something most auto enthusiasts have played by themselves, with friends at work, over drinks at
I first heard of Rivian when I saw their pickup (R1T) and SUV (R1S) at the 2018 LA Auto Show. The stat sheet left me impressed, but skeptical. Electric vehicle companies are known to make pretty outlandish claims (I’m looking at you, Faraday and Lucid). I am wary of a mid-size pickup claiming a 400-mile

If you’re a car enthusiast with a modicum of free time on your hands, I bet you have engaged in the wonderful flight of fantasy that is the on-line car configurator.

Cadillac teased pictures of their new CT5 sedan which will replace the CTS in the lineup (a new smaller version is supposed to replace the current ATS in the future). The car will be unveiled at the New York Auto Show in April. From what I see in these pictures, I have hope for the
My current job allows me to have fun and indulge my driving passion in many ways. One such way is the ability to work at some pretty amazing events like the LA Auto Show, any number of Porsche Club of America Club Races, and last fall, a little event called Rennsport Reunion VI. Another great
What is it that draws people to a car? While some people devote themselves to one particular marque, others (like me) have deep desires to own, drive and tinker with cars from any number of manufacturers. Sure I have my favorites, anyone who knows me knows my fondness for all things Porsche and for Corvettes,
It would seem to some an odd passion in this day, to be so focused on something that society and technology seem to be racing to make obsolete. Maybe that focus is the very reason, but for me, it is deeper than that. I have always looked at cars, especially sports cars, as a form
