Watch this video where the iconic 1966 Le Mans-winning P/1046 GT40 shared by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon... Continue Reading →
I’m a gear head and propeller head
The biggest roar of engines you will ever hear! And one of the few places you will hear them is where I was this week, AirVenture 2016 in Oshkosh, WI. I'm sure I'm not alone where I say that I get excited hearing a car like a new Corvette jump on the throttle as it comes... Continue Reading →
Don’t mess with a person who owns a Jeep

A pain in the ass customer
We've all experienced it By Paul Daniel You might have been in a restaurant or grocery store when the person ahead of you is raising a ruckus for no real reason.

I love different looking cars
This comes from a guy who owned a Gremlin and Pacer By Paul Daniel Some called them weird but there is a line. A different car is more than a one and done. It's a car with a production over several years, in the case of the Gremlin 70-78, and selling hundreds of thousands of... Continue Reading →
