Car Spot: Classic CJ-7

One of the many AMC cars found in my driveway growing up ,,, For those of you that don't follow this blog regularly, I have a fondness for the vehicles built by American Motors, mostly because my dad worked for the company from 1963 to 1989. 1970 was a special year because AMC swung for...

Car Spot: Mazda RX-7

Please bring the rotary engine back, in a sports car. MotorTrend loved the RX-7 when it was introduced in 1978 calling it "Sleek, Functional and Fast: An Affordable 2-Seater For the Enthusiast" It was the answer to sports car lovers' dreams, being attractive, fun to drive, and at $7,195, a bargain competing against other cars...
