VW California. Interesting because the name comes from America. Also interesting because it would sell like hot cakes here. Also interesting because of all the cool features. Also interesting because Torch and Tracy made it interesting (mainly because they used it as a dance club).

Raph, I’m so glad you addressed the trucking industry. There is so much more going on behind the scenes that would make a great investigative article all on its own. To start with, the treatment of part-time workers versus full-time employees.

What is with these topics as of late? Overrated on sale. Overrated of all time. Unluckiest automaker.

Having worked retail and food service at the same time in my life I can remember both having their demerits. In retail I would deal with the stupidity of people not understanding how products work which would often times lead to a blinded rage.

As a decent human being that loathes all things interjected with pumpkin spice to hock some “seasonal” crap I welcome this addition. It’s not that I hate the flavor of pumpkin spice. I just hate the over saturation of companies trying to tell me what I should be craving at any particular time of year (egg nog…

This is one of those cars that could make a great comeback as an EV.  I just had a conversation about it with a friend when a Fiero and Honda Del Sol both passed us. Both would be great EV drives in their own right.

I just bought a lifted Wrangler JK from my dad whose hip is starting to go out on him and he can’t get into it as easily. Ride quality is less relaxing in some ways compared to my RAM 1500 and Sorento, but its such a fun vehicle to drive. My dad was fortunate when he bought it. The previous owner that bought it new…

I don’t care about the article. My brother is the overly obsessed racing fan...enough for the two of us. What I care about is that image you chose, Bradley. I love how the drapes below Vandoorne and De Vries look like capes coming off their shoulders.

I’m going to assume that you mean the best food to eat while in the process of driving, not what the best road trip snack is.

Not a movie, but an episode of Earthworm Jim comes to mind and has a different meaning since the pandemic. In one episode we learn of the Planet of Easily Frightened People where everyone is scared of everything. My favorite line, “Aww! Air!”

I was going to say the Dodge Viper, but this makes more sense. More power all around! Feed the petrol beast!

Aww, I miss the fad when every third car was a shade of hunter green! We need more hunter green in the automakers’ paint palettes.

It has an 8-track and no rust or splits in the dash vinyl. It’s worth it.

Aww, the Skeeter Speeder. Like any mid-life crisis car purchase (such as an MG, Triumph, or Range Rover Classic) it sucks every thing from you blood, sweat, tears, and money!

I remember as a kid in the 80's thinking Scamps and Burros were the poor man’s camper. As I’ve gotten to the point of buying my own camper I see the attraction. Utilitarian, lightweight, and less that can go wrong.  It makes sense why their popularity has increased over the years.

So did he ever get caught drunk driving? Aside from being axed from the school board, what else happened in Phil “The Swill” Linker’s boozy life?

I had a Deere before the Cadet. The John Deere was fine but nothing to write home about. In comparing buying a new Deere to a Cub Cadet and other competitors the differences between price were more than the difference in features. The only thing I needed was something that could manage an incline as I live on a raised…

When it comes to Cubs, why fly a Piper when you can maneuver a Cadet? My Cub Cadet XT1 can bank 45 degree turns while I tuck to avoid the roll on hills. The hum of the engine moves me in indescribable ways as I cruise over Kentucky, St. Augustine, and Bermuda grasses. Like a Piper, there’s not a lot of room for…

As a teenager, I wanted to be a designer. Like most kids into cars for the styling, I drew cars on every other sheet of paper in my notebooks.

As they pull out of the driveway and Jane rolls up her window she turns to Tom and says, “Susan’s really trying to fit in with the neighborhood. Did you see that, Tom? She was walking on two legs the whole time we were at the flea market.”
