We had a pair of first gen odessys growing up. Bumpy, loud, but the most fun a kid could possibly have sitting down. People also forget just how crappy off road options were back then. The oddessy was something completely different, with some actual roll protection. It weighed next to nothing so it actually moved…

I’ve found that if you’ve taken the time to explain dietary restrictions on paper in the host language, most people make a diligent effort to follow them. It shows that it was important enough to translate and carry with you. It helps to explain the issues in fairly plain to state that even small amounts will cause…

How do Japanese handle food allergies? I am a celiac, I also have medical issues with a wide range of other foods. Umami by itself is a lifelong migraine waiting to happen for me. In most countries I bring a card with the required information in the host nation language but I’ve anticipated having a much harder time…

Just plain stunning. I love obscure GT cars. This makes me seriously want to sell my Iso Rivolta, mortgage the house and do something really stupid. I missed the chance to get Roy Disney’s DB 2/4 before prices went Insane (I rarely care about provenance but I love my Disney) still wish I had purchased it.

The 90's have definitely hit their stride as collectable cars. They seemed to dip some 6 month or so ago but have gone back to there upward March. That’s why I finally pulled the trigger on a 1994 NSX. 85k miles shows it’s been used just the right amount. A high dollar paint job and new seat leather by the…

I’m torn. On one hand it’s an interesting article about an oddball piece of motoring history purchased by and equally oddball couple. On the other hand...what in the world were they thinking. Very few cars end up being classics and fewer still within a reasonable time-frame from new. Limited edition rarely every…

I’m just not surprised. The Union failed to make a compelling case for the workers at that facility that their lives would be dramatically improved by Union bargaining. The companies anti-union pressures were no worse then the pro-union organizing. Both sides had their say and the Union leadership couldn’t convince…

If your in the Central Texas area try to visit Little River Dragway, especially if you can coincide it with the “Day of the Drag Race” weekend. Pre-63 an older american hot-rods, cars and full on vintage dragsters fighting it out on a very tight 1/4 strip that sits under the shadow of the highway and on the banks of…

As the owner of an RC-F I can’t emphasize how good this is. I love my car and I chose it because the naturally aspirated v-8 sings perfect song. However, it is simply not powerful enough for a Halo car in the 6 figure range. The RC-f is also a divisive car looks wise. I would not say it’s ugly but it’s…

I would agree except that for me the equation doesn’t work. Spinal surgery that resulted in major muscle/nerve damage means an unboosted rack is almost impossible for me anymore. My 1974 Porsche 911 is fine since there is very little weight in the front but my highly modified 1964 Corvette is not. I’m looking for a…

I think the option of touch screen and physical control is the best option, short of high accuracy voice command. The Mazda system is a good example and it works better then most luxury cars I’ve owned. A decent controller is crucial to using the system when driving, where reaching over to hit the damn screen is…

If I didn’t have a major doctors appointment on Friday I’d offer to fly up and drive back with you. 1,050 with a complete stranger in a decade old hand built British GT, what could possibly go wrong.

Why the hell not. We spend far too much time in our cars to drive boring econo-boxes. As long as you’re willing to wrench it you might as well swing for the fences. I can’t wait to see it when it’s done and since I figure you’re somewhere near my neck of the woods now hopefully I’ll see it rolling down I-4 someday…

I hope you make it for 2017. Racing is far more interesting when it features innovative designs and smaller teams mixing it up with the larger concerns.

We ended up with Meteor Grey. An AWD model was a must for us and there were 2 of them in our whole city. I actually like the color so it works out and it was also loaded which we wanted. We had seriously cross shopped against an Audi Q5 (since I already have an S5) but to get the same items that are standard on the…

The best one I have ever seen was about 25 years ago in San Diego. A bright red 328 Ferrari blasted past us on the I-15 at about 90 or so. The license plate was”TAX THIS”

P-bubs rocks. There is something about a maniacal, megalomaniac, mad scientist dictator that is so attractive.

Damn, in my best Waynes world voice, I am not worthy. Every time I read one of your articles I am amazed at what can be achieved with some skill and determination. I really need to try that vinyl wrap. I have a 2004 slk32 AMG and the interior is awful. Mercedes was trying to cheap out during that period and the…

Heck, no one wanted them 5 or 6 years ago. The great economic crash was an amazing time to pick up exotic vintage cars for pennies compared to now. That said there are still some cool ones around. For 40 large I'd pick up a Ferrari 412. You get classic Pininfarina styling that I think looks better with age. It's …
