The Piper CUB of EAA’s Automotive Fleet

By Paul Daniel If you've ever attended EAA's AirVenture, your eyes probably spent more time on things in the air than on the ground. Well, you've missed the event's unsung hero, the vehicle that gets the safety crews and staff all over the grounds, their staff of VWs. Here's the story of the Piper Cub... Continue Reading →

2021 Buick Envision Essence

Front-drive Envision the essence of entry-level luxury ... Buick has been evolving the last five years or so. It’s still a solid entry-level luxury vehicle maker, but it has been transitioning away from cars to crossovers and SUVS. Currently there are three models, the Encore and Envision that I’d classify as crossovers and the Enclave,... Continue Reading →

2021 BMW M440i Convertible

Gray Bimmer convertible easy on the eyes, not the wallet ... The M440i is sleek, sexy and fast, a primo luxury drop-top.

A golf cart that thinks its a 747

Me in the cockpit of a Grumman Goose just before a flight In all the years I have been going to AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI, I have seen all kinds of planes and all kinds of vehicles. There was this boatmobile a couple of years ago. All kinds of fun stuff which is what makes... Continue Reading →

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat AWD

Crazy fast Hellcat SUV a demonic delight ... Some things simply make no sense, seem coo-coo crazy, yet are so much fun that a person ignores their lunacy. For instance, Dodge’s Durango SRT Hellcat with its 710-horse supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8. Any engine oozing that many adjectives is sure to be a demon. This wild... Continue Reading →

2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Premium

Jet Gray Mustang Mach 1 ready to break the sound, er, speed barrier ... Speed hooked many of us on cars, that raw power to go faster than our brains can barely imagine, or cope with.

So that’s a Matador

AMC’s entry into the personal luxury market. American Motors almost always had to swing for the fence when it came to introducing new products because they didn’t have the big budgets to work with like GM, Ford, and Chrysler did. The same went for their marketing. Enter the second generation Matador in 1974 and with... Continue Reading →

2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Caligraphy

Fourth gen Santa Fe grows into a sharp looker ... Time flies. Hyundai’s Santa Fe SUV proves it. Santa Fe debuted 20 years ago as the South Korean automaker’s mid-size SUV.
