A benefit I didn't even know about in the beginning Like the millions of other families all over the world we became Amazon Prime subscribers because of the special deals and many times free shipping.

2018 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T

Honda Accord styling catches up with its competence ...  Finally Honda has come out of its conservative styling funk to make its always solid Accord sedan look like more than a very reliable box.

2018 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD

Kia's Stinger GT2 a world-class sport sedan ... Like Porsche when it launched the unlikely Macan, its first sport-utility vehicle, Kia has crushed expectations by creating a premium level sports sedan with its 2018 Stinger.

Die-cast: Ixo’s 1958, 1960 Ferrari 250, Le Mans winners

Racy Ferrari 250s, when Ferrari was dominant ...  Part of the fun of any die-cast or model car collection is in comparing the differences of similar cars made a couple years apart.

2018 Kia Rio EX hatch

Cute Rio hatchback a sporty low-cost option ... I liked the high-value Hyundai Accent sedan a week ago, so it stands to reason I’d like its cousin, the sportier looking Kia Rio hatchback this week.

Die-cast: Ixo’s 1970 Saviem JM 21/240 Michelin truck

Die-cast: Ixo’s 1937 Bugatti Type 57G Le Mans winner

Bugatti was racy from the get-go at Le Mans ...  In the early years, a lot of competitors, and winners, in the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race were from France. Many of those makes are legendary, but many also are gone. One that remains is Bugatti, now known as a super car maker... Continue Reading →

Lego crash test

You can build anything from Legos I love building things with Lego's larger Technic line because it lets me feel like a real engineer. With this line I can build things that move, like cars.
