We’ve all seen the guy: he rolls up to Cars & Coffee wearing a bad-ass leather jacket, boots, and carrying around his helmet like a badge of honor. In spite of the subtle inferiority we may experience at that moment, we admire him — even if he does park on the sidewalk.
Enjoy this Pierce Arrow hood ornament for your trouble.
Just short of a year ago, I purchased a well-worn 1993 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible. The car was my remedy to the monotony of leasing a perfectly capable 2013 Volkswagen GTI, disguised to my wife as a sound financial decision. She got smart, hence why I’m writing this – actually, we both got smart.
Located just outside of Philadelphia’s International Airport, Dr. Frederick Simeone has made his comprehensive collection of sports and racing cars available to the public, and boy are we glad he did.
If you’ve ever leased a car, you most likely know the benefits and disadvantages of the process: you get a more expensive, highly optioned car for a lower monthly payment than you would traditionally financing. On the flip side, lease payments are rent payments: you’re paying for your use of the vehicle. But what…
If you hang around enough car shows, concours, and collector car events, you’ll hear a not-so-subtle tinge of disappointment from the grey-haired population concerning the next generation of car enthusiasts, or lack thereof. As the baby boomers age and enter the sunset years of their lives, it’s becoming more and more…
For those of you who think the craftsmanship, passion, and meticulous attention to detail is absent from modern automotive manufacturing, watch this video and re-assess. The Porsche 918 is by no means average, but this quick look into the 918 production line is an example of how Porsche has brought true craftsmanship…
You know what’s great? America. America is a great place, not because we are a nation of freedom, capitalism, and sports fans who enjoy watching football that requires the use of your hands. It’s a great place because each year, a few very talented and dedicated people decide to drive up a mountain with about as much…
Last month, Porsche was kind enough to let me sample the 2015 Cayman GTS during the Pinehurst Councours d’Elegance weekend, hosted in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Sure enough, it was everything that’s been promised.

Memorial Day is one of America’s greatest holidays and I can’t think of a better way to kick-off the summer than by honoring all those who have served our nation. Usually, we do so by engorging ourselves with hot dogs, cheap beer, and a myriad of bad decisions — hallmarks of any true American holiday. But as the days…
There is no shortage of overly-restored trailer queens in the world of blue-chip collector cars. That’s why Jay Leno’s 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is one of the best ones we’ve ever seen.
Let’s face it, we wouldn’t be here without the loving support of our mothers and for that, we need to say thank you this Mother’s Day. However, before we became reasonable and appreciative adults, our moms took us to soccer practice, basketball try-outs, or in my case, golf lessons (the sad truth). As members of the…
Thanks to @desertdog5051’s advice, I just opened a Society6 store featuring some of my photography work. To kick things off, I’ve got a few of The Hood Ornaments Of Pinehurst loaded up — look for additional items this weekend. I’m new at this so bear with me as I get things up and running.
Not many people understand the concours circuit — myself included. As a general rule, I prefer viewing cars in their natural habitat: moving. However, the Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance provided an excellent opportunity to capture some of the most amazing and iconic hood ornaments this side of Pebble Beach. Below are…
With over 200 of the world’s finest vehicles on display at this weekend’s Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance, this purple 1919 Pierce Arrow Model 66 A-4 Tourer won best in show.
We’re spending the weekend in Pinehurst, North Carolina for the third annual Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance. This is how our day started.
Do you ever get inspired to search for a specific car for sale?
Last Spring, I decided to get a little creative with Photoshop and performed a little post-processing voodoo on the below photos. All four shots are from the 2014 Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance weekend — a great event for all types of enthusiasts.
It's been 3 months since I purchased my 1993 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible and, at the risk of spontaneous combustion, it has been a solid purchase.
