Photo Source I’m originally from North Carolina, but for seven years, I lived in the DC area, Alexandria specifically. Traffic was insane, but the number of exotic cars and cool restorations on the beltway made driving a real experience. DC is all about diversity, and I really showed in the types of cars that people drove. [...]
The Dodge Power Wagon has always occupied a unique area in my automotive dreams. I love the idea of a hardcore, dedicated four-wheel-drive platform, and Dodge has consistently delivered since 1945. The reason why I focus on this particular beast is because of a truck stop display that I stumbled across during our family road [...]
Photo Source A few weeks ago, I discussed the Fiat 124 Spyder and its relationship to the Mazda Miata. I was just on a walk with my neighbor, and we were discussing that post and how we would both love to own a 124 or a Miata just to soup up and race on weekends. As [...]
Photo Source Here’s a deep dark secret: I’ve been obsessed for almost thirty years with a Japanese anime cartoon called Sailor Moon. It came out right about the time I was hitting middle school, and it tells the story of a clumsy, self-conscious girl named Usagi who finds out that she is a Chosen One. Her [...]
Photo Source Recently, Chrysler has whittled down its flagship lineup to only four cars - the Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid, the 300, and the Voyager minivan. This is a small catalog when compared to the company’s previous offerings, but Chrysler vehicles also fall under a very wide umbrella, including the Dodge, Jeep, and Ram pickup brands. [...]
Photo Source Fiat is a strange automaker, to be sure. I have only just discovered the 124 Spyder after having been such a fan of the Fiat/Lancia/Alfa Romeo platform in my youth. My friends even had a nickname for the Euro speedsters, the - Fi-Lanc-Eo. The Fiat Coupé was an absolute blast and rivaled the [...]
Photo Source The Mustang Mach 1 has always been a bit of an outlier. The performance package was first produced in 1968 for the 1969 model year. It has always been a best-seller, but it tends to fall to the wayside when compared to the GT and the Cobra. It has been on my mind since [...]
Photo Source Unless you haven’t been paying attention, Ford has taken a massive leap forward with the Mustang Mach-E electric SUV. And yes, you read that correctly - Mustang Electric SUV. Now don’t get me wrong, dear readers, I love this new direction in a big way, but the question still remains: is it really a [...]
Photo Source Triumph is known mostly for its motorcycles these days, and even during their heyday, Triumph cars were not widely popular in the U.S. So, it’s with that in mind when I say that I love to jump into one of their more popular American releases, the Triumph TR6, whenever I get the chance. I [...]
Photo Source I’ll admit, as a teenager, I had a snotty, sarcastic side. When my girlfriend’s dad brought home a Porsche Boxster in 2000, his son and I gave him a hard time about buying the “baby Boxster.” His son told him it wasn’t a real Porsche unless it was a 911. We were both talking [...]
