Honest car reviews both big and small
The ultimate EV What does a half mil of luxury electric car look like? Consider the new 2024 Rolls Royce Spectre Mark and I drove at the MAMA Spring Rally at Road America recently. Wow, everything from giant suicide doors that close automatically (driver need only touch the brake pedal) to umbrellas embedded in the... Continue Reading →
A little bit of this and that gets you a capable SUV I love the off-roading portion of the Midwest Automotive Media Association's Spring Rally at Road America. This year besides the selection of Jeeps and Fords, was a newcomer, the INEOS Grenadier Trialmaster and no, I didn't spell that wrong. And yes, it looks... Continue Reading →
Pontiac's last shot at a muscle car It has to be the godfather of muscle cars. It kicked off an era in the 60's when all four automakers were puting gobs of horsepower in their cars.

Oh, I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener ... What kid growing up in the 1960s doesn't know the Oscar Mayer jingle? Food was fun then and so was Oscar Meyer's Wienermobile, this week's car spot, or is it a truck spot, or RV spot, or food spot? It's sort of all of those... Continue Reading →
Classic case of the wrong car for the wrong market at the wrong time Growing up in the 50s and 60's it was a big deal when the new models were introduced. I remember, to this day, my dad taking me down to see the new car Ford had come out with, the Edsel. Something... Continue Reading →
The company brings back an all-but forgotten badge Dating way back to 1926 it was the company's top-of-the-line vehicle so it was no surprise when Lee Iaccoco went to the well again in 1981. This newest edition, and this week's spot, combined forward-thinking design elements, out-of-character build quality all in a one-price luxury package. It's a... Continue Reading →
The DJ-3A Dispatcher finds another niche It all began at a resort in Acapulco named the Las Brisas, featuring luxury rooms built into the hillside but without elevators.
