Honest car reviews both big and small
The Jeep before they bought Jeep. Being an AMC guy, I get a fair amount of abuse but I remind those abusing me of the innovative vehicles the company came out with in response to the market. One example is this week's car spot, the Mighty Mite. Found this example at the Russell Military Museum... Continue Reading →
A supercharged rocket Introduced as a 2005 model, the Cobalt was GM's most ambitious attempt to go fender-to-fender with compact Asian imports. It had a tough act to follow replacing the Cavalier. Motor Trend loved it saying it was solidly built, suitably refined, and attractively priced, it's an American car that can compete with its... Continue Reading →
You can see the French influence in its design ... Every time I see one of these I expect that when it stops a bunch of clowns will jump out of it. Kelly Blue Book loved the Cube naming it one of the coolest cars under $18,000 in 2009 and the following year listed the... Continue Reading →
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.

Please bring the rotary engine back, in a sports car. MotorTrend loved the RX-7 when it was introduced in 1978 calling it "Sleek, Functional and Fast: An Affordable 2-Seater For the Enthusiast" It was the answer to sports car lovers' dreams, being attractive, fun to drive, and at $7,195, a bargain competing against other cars...

This cool vehicle was only with us for three short years. Subaru took an Outback station wagon and added a pickup bed. 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 →
