Fun Stuff: Road America Autocross Series Event 2

I tried not to embarrass myself in my 22 Jeep Compass Me in between sessions. This past Saturday I traveled up to Road America for the second event in the Winter Autocross Series presented by David Hobbs Honda and had a total blast. I was grossly underpowered in my 22 Jeep Compass and ran against... Continue Reading →

1973 Toyota Celica Liftback GT2000

Autoart nails the sexy Japanese 'Mustang' look ... I came of driving age in the early 1970s and while I drove a snazzy copper-colored Plymouth Duster, which I thought beautiful, the Japanese makes were just getting their footing in the U.S. market. Most models were boring, but to me, the “hot” car was Toyota’s Celica... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

A car from the golden age of muscle cars ... If you've read any of my posts, you know that I love cars with big V8 engines, especially the ones from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Of course, my dad having worked for American Motors, I'm partial to AMXs and Javelins, but I love... Continue Reading →

2022 Mercedes-Benz C 300 4Matic Sedan

Restyled and sporty C class may again spur sedan sales ... The compact C Class sedan has been a hot seller for Mercedes-Benz for years, but its popularity has waned like yesterday’s boy band the last couple years and one has to wonder how much of that is because it hadn’t been redesigned in seven...

Car Spot: Porsche 914

A Porsche for those that couldn't afford one ... When you mention Porsche, the 911 usually comes to mind first. It's a dream car for many gearheads, the one car that they salivate over and long to own, but ownership usually comes with a budget-busting price. But there is a very affordable alternative for those... Continue Reading →

2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe

Plug-in hybrid smooths Wrangler power, boosts mpg ... Jeeps come in all sizes these days and with multiple powerplant choices, the latest of which provided the grunt for the tested 4-door Wrangler Rubicon. Here the power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 with plug-in hybrid system using a couple electric motors to help boost gas... Continue Reading →

James Bond’s Lotus Esprit S1

Nobody does it better than Auto World for a submarine/car ... Rare, or should I say never, that I have seen a die-cast car that was also a submarine. But now I have. If you’re hearing a James Bond soundtrack playing in your head right now then you’re ahead of me. The car/sub in question... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible

The last year of big horsepower I love muscle cars. There's nothing like that rumble from the duel exhausts and smoke coming from a burnout. I especially love muscle cars where the top comes down like this week's car spot. I used the headlights from our Durango in a rare night spot. Introduced in 1964,... Continue Reading →

2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid EX AWD

New hybrid is larger, more efficient, family-priced SUV ... Kia’s Sportage just keeps getting bigger and better, and now with a hybrid power system it’s more efficient and still can boast of family-friendly pricing. That’s a lot! But Kia and its twin cousin Hyundai have always been about value, generous feature content, top-notch warranties, and... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: The Smart Car

There's nothing smart about this car Known for its massive, and expensive cars, the Smart Car was something really different from Mercedes Benz.
