Honest car reviews both big and small
OK, I was the only Jeep:) This past Saturday I was up at Road America, just about my favorite place in the world next to AirVenture in Oshkosh, taking part in the third race in the Winter Autocross Series presented by David Hobbs Honda. 120 drivers came from as far away as South Carolina and...

This spot has quite the sting ... During the late 1960s and early '70s, American Motors was looking to shake the stodgy look. You know, great economy, but a car maybe my parents would drive. Among the cars introduced were the Javelin and Hornet. While both could come with AMC's inline-6s, they also could be... Continue Reading →
One of the many AMC cars found in my driveway growing up ,,, For those of you that don't follow this blog regularly, I have a fondness for the vehicles built by American Motors, mostly because my dad worked for the company from 1963 to 1989. 1970 was a special year because AMC swung for...

Please bring the rotary engine back, in a sports car.

The thought was that it would appeal to a new generation of adventure seekers like those who climb mountains, backpack, camp, and kayak. But the Baja, introduced in 2003, wasn't your bare-bones off-roader.... Continue Reading →
I tried not to embarrass myself in my 22 Jeep Compass Me in between sessions. This past Saturday I traveled up to Road America for the second event in the Winter Autocross Series presented by David Hobbs Honda and had a total blast. I was grossly underpowered in my 22 Jeep Compass and ran against... Continue Reading →
A car from the golden age of muscle cars ... If you've read any of my posts, you know that I love cars with big V8 engines, especially the ones from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Of course, my dad having worked for American Motors, I'm partial to AMXs and Javelins, but I love... Continue Reading →
A Porsche for those that couldn't afford one ... When you mention Porsche, the 911 usually comes to mind first. It's a dream car for many gearheads, the one car that they salivate over and long to own, but ownership usually comes with a budget-busting price. But there is a very affordable alternative for those... Continue Reading →
The last year of big horsepower I love muscle cars. There's nothing like that rumble from the duel exhausts and smoke coming from a burnout. I especially love muscle cars where the top comes down like this week's car spot. I used the headlights from our Durango in a rare night spot. Introduced in 1964,... Continue Reading →
There's nothing smart about this car Known for its massive, and expensive cars, the Smart Car was something really different from Mercedes Benz. It all started in 1972 when they decided to explore what cars of the new millennium would look like. The 1973 oil crisis convinced them that they should move forward with a... Continue Reading →
