Honest car reviews both big and small
Brumm racing models are a super value … Picture a blue and orange Gulf liveried racer and you’ll likely conjure up either a Ford GT40 or Porsche 917. Both were iconic racers in the late 1960s and early ’70s and now Porsche is fast approaching its 50th anniversary of the 917’s win at Le Mans.... Continue Reading →
VW Jetta offers high value, driving fun … With all the trucks, SUVs and crossovers crowding showrooms these days it’s refreshing to come across a sporty sedan like Volkswagen’s Jetta, that also represents high value. Jetta was restyled for 2019 and mostly that’s all good news. First, it continues the lean European look that VW... Continue Reading →
Black Shadow proved dominant in final Can-Am season … Can-Am racing in the late 1960s and early 1970s was breathtaking, and each season seemed to produce a dominant car with massive engines and power.

Toyota, Yamaha teamed up for racy 2000GT … Since its beginning Toyota has wrestled with the perception that it makes reliable, economical, but boring, cars.
