I'm a pretty happy AMC fan this morning! That's because last night at the Gooding & Company auction in Scottsdale, AZ this AMX 3 sold for $891,000 setting a new world record price for an American Motors creation. More than other cars in the auction like a 1935 Auburn 851 SC Boattail Speedster which sold for $693,000 but... Continue Reading →
More Mopar muscle!!!!!
Because what engine comes with the vehicle is never enough I've been doing some research about installing a turbo on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Sure it has enough grunt, lots more than our 2011 anyway, but how about a little more. But then I found the ultimate in a power upgrade, a supercharged 6.2-liter... Continue Reading →

You want to race what against me?

Please tell me why there are so many bad drivers
I notice this more on my motorcycle I took my what most likely will have been my final ride of the season on my Hayabusa here in Wisconsin as it was 51 degrees. The weather folks forecast it all downhill from here. Actually riding this late has been a nice bonus because most years I put my... Continue Reading →
