Honest car reviews both big and small
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 →
GM's other two-seater Did you know that with the exception of Oldsmobile, all of GM's passenger-car divisions offered two-seaters during the late 1980s and early 1990s? There was Chevrolet Corvette, Pontiac Fiero, Cadillac Allante, and this week's car spot, the Buick Reatta. I think it's a cool-looking car but America didn't. Introduced in 1988, the Buick Reatta...

America's first adventure car before there were SUVs This spot brought back flashbacks for me when I spotted it on a lot/salvage yard because we had one as a kid, a 1950 Bathtub Nash. The pride of Kenosha. In the late 40s and early 50s, the bathtub styling trend was hot and Nash was seen... Continue Reading →
OK, another truck but a really cool one. One of the cool things Mark and I love about going up to Road America is that chances are we are going to discover a really cool vehicle like this week's spot, a Subaru Sambar. This looks to be an early 90s example. The Sumbar began production... Continue Reading →
Looks like a Rolls Royce but it's not So I pull up to grab some beer at a local convenience store and right next to me is this cool-looking Rolls, or I thought it was until I spotted the Bentley B on it. An image search shows it being a Bentley S1, this week's car... Continue Reading →
One of the last of the independents that just ran out of cash ... Being a big fan of the cars from American Motors, I can appreciate what Studebaker brought to market and how they tried to challenge the Big Three. Like AMC, at times they were brilliant, but other times, not so much. In... Continue Reading →
A time when wagons roamed the country ... Just in case you couldn't tell, I have a soft spot for the cars and Jeeps made by American Motors Corp. Maybe it was because my dad worked there for 17 years starting in 1963 and ending just after Chrysler bought AMC. Not sure why he did,... Continue Reading →
Built when Dodge was in total fun mode ... Bob Lutz is one of my all-time favorite car guys. He brought so much to the automotive world in fun cars like this week's spot, the Dodge Viper. Looking to create a modern-day Cobra, the first prototype was tested in January 1989 and went on sale... Continue Reading →
Eyeballing a rare molto bello Italian supercar ... Why should Paul have all the fun? Hey, I spot cars too, like this 2005 Lambo Murcielago Roadster I spied at the Chicago Mecum Auction in October. This Italian hot rod was parked out back of the exhibition and auction hall where various employees could keep an... Continue Reading →
A '60s era muscle car gets a second chance ... So which side of the convo are you on? Should a car be restored to factory specs or brought back to life as a restomod? I can go either way. This week's car spot, a 1969 Dodge Charger, is a Resto Mod. I found this... Continue Reading →
