Car Spot: 1960s Amphicar

A car that could swim ... I love spots like this because the Amphicar is certainly not a car, er boat, you see every day. Matter of fact, it's not really a car, well not a really good one, and not really a good boat either. What it is, is fun! I spotted this one... Continue Reading →

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium Review

What you need to know about the new Crosstrek's updates ... Already the top-selling Subaru, the compact crossover Crosstrek just keeps getting better. Not surprisingly when Subaru revamped Crosstrek for 2024 it didn’t mess with success, just tweaked the interior and exterior enough to freshen it and keep it near the top of the market...

Car Spot: 78 Mustang II 2+2

Expensive fuel and insurance rates led to its development I remember the fall of 1973. The Arabs decided to punish the US for backing Israel and reduced our oil supply. Nearly quadrupling the price of oil from $2.90 a barrel before the embargo to $11.65 a barrel in January 1974 gas prices went through the... Continue Reading →

2024 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium R-Line

3-row Atlas remains a smooth, comfy ride, but with a few quirks ... Sometimes it’s good when a car maker doesn’t futz too much with its designs, if the original was well executed. Such is the case with Volkswagen’s Atlas a mid-size crossover it makes at its Chattanooga, Tenn., plant, along with the Atlas Cross... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Plymouth Prowler

Weird but way cool The 90s was a great time for Chrysler as they cranked out hit after hit. There was the PT Cruiser. Don't laugh because it sold over a million copies in ten years and might have been made longer if Chrysler hadn't kind of forgotten about it. They had a total beast... Continue Reading →

2023 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium review

What you need to know about the new manual shifting Supra ... Oh what a feeling! That’s what Toyota used to crow about its cars, but let’s be honest, the feel great cars are usually just that, cars with a sporty nature. I mean a pickup or SUV is a conveyance, a sport car is... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Trans Am Firebird

Made famous by the movie Smokey and the Bandit I can't think of a movie making a car more famous than Smokey and the Bandit and the Pontiac Firebird. Oh sure, there was the 68 Bullitt Mustang made famous by Steve McQueen but this was different because this was Burt Reynolds. In 1977 Smokey and... Continue Reading →

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4Matic

Gizmos galore in pricy Benz GLE luxury SUV ...             If you’re into gizmotronics and SUVs overbrimming with fiddly bits while still cuddling you with leather luxurious enough to make even a virgin cow blush, well Mercedes-Benz has something special for you.             Its name, or call letters, is GLE.             GLE is a midsize...

Car Spot: 1954 DeSoto Fireflite

It went from sitting pretty to utter doom in just three years Do you remember DeSoto cars? I vaguely remember seeing comedian Groucho Marx pushing them. They are one of the many car brands that was a victim of competition and getting squeezed out of existence in the 60s. Introduced by Walter P. Chrysler in... Continue Reading →

2023 BMW Z4 sDrive30i Convertible

Power top, leather interior and plenty of twin-turbo power ... Time flies especially fast in a Z4, BMW’s mid-level luxury roadster. But it had really flown as it had been 14 years since I last shoe-horned into a Z4. This sDrive30i version came just as autumn was creeping into Wisconsin, the leaves starting to turn...
