What car or truck would Darth Vader drive?

OK, stick with me here Today is Halloween and decided to wear my Darth Vader costume. I came up with the idea of this wacky post while I was driving into work this morning, wearing the costume. Wish I could have used the forces of the Dark Side to get the pokey drivers going. Yes,... Continue Reading →

It’s alive!

A Frankenstein classic car Well maybe not a classic but for sure the guy who combined what I believe to be a '66 Valiant Barracuda, a '64 Dodge Dart, and the fins from maybe '61 Caddy (my best guess). It caught my eye one day when I was out for a ride on my Busa passing through... Continue Reading →

Cool car guys I’ve met

Up close and personal My days as a TV sports reporter in Green Bay provided me with opportunities others dream about. Almost all of them came because I spent lots of time at my favorite place, Road America, located about an hour south of Green Bay. I loved when there was a race coming up because...

I’m sweating bullets….turn on the air

Drivers and passengers roasted for decades Now cars come with air conditioning where the temperature can set by the driver and the passenger and have a different temp. This image is from our 2008 Chrysler Pacifica where the driver and passenger can set the exact temp they want. It's old technology now because the new cars... Continue Reading →

Pull over, I need to get to a phone….

Life before iPhones If you're 50-60 "ish", you will get a great laugh at this blog entry. "I need to get to a phone." or "Pull over, I need to get to a phone", were phrases everybody used. Almost always said at least once on detective shows like 'Starsky & Hutch' (1976 Ford Gran Torino), 'Kojak'... Continue Reading →

My other passion

How can that be? You're a car guy. Well I'm also a huge airplane guy. I just spent five days in Oshkosh, WI at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) as a volunteer helping kids discover radio control aviation. My daughter also volunteered with me this year. My passion for planes began when I was young.... Continue Reading →

Drivers who really annoy me…..

...and the cars they drive   I'm really a patient guy except when it comes to getting from point A to point B either in one of our cars, 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, our 2008 Chrysler Pacifica (we really love that car and wish it was still being made), or my Suzuki Hayabusa. I experience more...

Renault Dauphine

I have never been a fan of French engineering I have first-hand experience with my mother owning a Renault Alliance and then me owning an Encore. This was the big deal about the partnership with American Motors and Renault. The cars were a hit out of the gate with the Alliance named Motor Trend Car... Continue Reading →

Jeepster: A classic large or small

My favorite Jeep A big reason we collect cars is because there is an emotional attachment. Mine for AMC, and Jeeps, coming from my dad working at American Motors. AMC bought Jeep from Kaiser in 1970. My favorite Jeep is the Jeepster originally produced by Willys-Overland from '48-'50 and then '66-'73. A vehicle so popular... Continue Reading →

Caddy Hot Tub

A Caddy with an option you would never find I love Caddy's and who doesn't? They were famous for lots of chrome and the fins. The new ones are even cooler with all the performance built-in. I also love hot tubs. Wait, where is he going on this you're thinking. Check out the video where two... Continue Reading →
