Die-cast: Auto Worl’d Premium 2018 Release 4, True 1/64

True 1/64 scale cars are little gems from Round2 …   Didn’t most of us start out collecting Matchbox, or later Hot Wheels, die-casts? I spent a lot of time ogling and dreaming about those 75 metal 1/64 (roughly) scale Matchbox vehicles in my hobby shop’s display case. And when really lucky, I snagged a... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: CMC’s 1952 Jaguar C-Type

CMC's detail is drop-dead gorgeous on Jag C-Type ... Jaguar was dominant at Le Mans in the 1950s as a series of its sports cars were developed into racers.

2019 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring AWD

Mazda CX-3 sticking with a good thing ... Not much seems to have changed with Mazda’s stylish small crossover, the CX-3, since I last tested it a couple years ago. I mean it gained two horsepower (big whoop), but really nothing much needed to change. I’d still like more horsepower, but at least there’s a... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Replicarz’s 1957 Vanwall Special

2019 Chevrolet Silverado 4WD LT Crew

Isn't this really the best-selling pickup? ... Here’s an argument you won’t hear often: General Motors makes the best-selling pickup in North America.

Die-cast: Replicarz’s 1940 & ’41 Indy 500 Maseratis

Latest 1/43 scale Maserati racers are a colorful duo … The late 1930s and early 1940s saw race cars developing quickly into what we would consider modern racers and Wilbur Shaw and his Boyle Special, a Maserati 8CTF, led the way at the Indianapolis 500, but others followed quickly. In 1939 Shaw won the 500... Continue Reading →

2019 Volvo XC90 T6 AWD Inscription

XC90 keeps boxy, safe  family haulers tradition alive ... Give Volvo credit for staying true to its roots all these years.

2018 Lexus LS 500 AWD

Lexus LS500 impressive and loaded …  OMG, the Lexus LS 500 is one of the most impressive luxury sedans I’ve ever driven! That’s high praise, but this car is worthy.
