Chasing Classic Cars: The ones that helped make music

I grew up when MTV had just started out Of course being a car guy, I'd always look for one in a video. Right off-hand the one stands out is in Billy Joel's 1983 video Keeping the Faith in which his then wife Kristie Brinkley rolls into the courtroom in a '56 Chevy convertible. Click...

Braking News: 1st Hellcat Wacked

With great speed comes great responsibility That's what I tell people who ask me if I've ever had my Suzuki Hayabusa up to its top speed of 180 mph. And no I haven't. Maybe on a closed course but not the open road. I have had it up to 120 mph but don't tell my... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Automodello 1938 Packard Twelve Convertible Victoria

Packard Twelve highlights elegant 1930s styling While I prefer post-war cars, probably something to do with my age, I appreciate fine car design from earlier eras, such as the 1930s. Automodello’s fine 1:43 resin models seem to know no styling limits and certainly bridge a variety of decades. So there’s no surprise that Automodello now turns... Continue Reading →

Slot Car: Ninco Formula 1 (Jordan)

Ninco, now being distributed exclusively by Professor Motor in the U.S., is reintroducing a series of five somewhat generic Formula 1 cars to its lineup, a good product for clubs or groups that enjoy racing identical cars.

2015 Dodge Challenger SXT

Chubby Challenger falls short in muscle car wars Funny, muscle cars came and went in the 1960s and early 1970s as gas prices soared and insurance prices became an issue for many buyers.

Die-cast: Autoart Maserati MC12

Maserati MC12 a winner on track, or on display For a century Maserati has been churning out distinctive, sporty and often championship winning cars.

2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 3.0 GT S-AWC

Outlander remains a middler in SUV market Mitsubishi’s new Outlander is a handsome SUV, but remains a middler. Its performance falls in the middle of the crowded small to mid-sized sport-utility market. Little stands out. The tested “rally red” ute was the 3.0 GT S-AWC model, meaning it’s loaded with Mitsubishi’s more desirable V6 engine... Continue Reading →
