Honest car reviews both big and small
The car made famous by Roger Moore Growing up in the 1960s I loved the spy TV shows. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. aired on NBC along with a funny one, Get Smart, while The Avengers aired on ABC (whoa, Emma Peel in those skintight outfits), Mission Impossible on CBS. Later on ABC and then NBC... Continue Reading →
Slow, poorly equipped, and unsafe, but people loved it ... It's almost hard to believe that the company that makes Golfs and Jettas now, cranked out anything close to that in the 1960s and '70s. They were defiantly counterculture making Classic Beetles, funky buses, and boxy Vanagons along with the stubby VW Thing, this week's... Continue Reading →
The Gladiator's great grandpa ... It would be tough to find a more American truck than this week's spot. The Kaiser Jeep M715 saw action in Vietnam, Korea, and on European bases. Unlike many who served in the military, it didn’t have a stellar service record. Entering service in 1965, the overhead-cam six-cylinder engines were... Continue Reading →
Iconic 60s muscle car The late 60s was the golden age for muscle cars. The Mustang started it off followed by the Camaro, Firebird, Javelin, Cougar, Challenger, and Barracuda. Big V8s were must haves to compete in what was called the Pony Car wars. Trans-Am racing was huge at the time as the manufacturers raced... Continue Reading →
Mona Lisa of Modena! Collecting cars is all about friendships and this week's spot is a great example of that. I've mentioned in the past my friendship with Darrel Burnett who was my boss while in TV and now runs the Automobile Gallery of Green Bay. We had no idea that we were both such... Continue Reading →
An icon of America's space race While every year the Chicago Auto Show features all the newest cars, it also remembers its past with cars like this spot, a 62 Oldsmobile Starfire. The 62 was in great shape and looked like a survivor. In the early 60s, the US and Russia were locked in a... Continue Reading →
A rare concept car that still lives today Mark and I love going to the Chicago Auto Show each year. We get to see what's new but one of the coolest exhibits are the concept cars. Not so much by the current manufacturers but tucked away in a corner of the North Hall is the... Continue Reading →
A fitting end for the Hemi and I get to drive it! Mark and I have gotten several great opportunities to drive really fun cars but one of two came recently at a media event at Road America. We go to this annual event, the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA) Spring Rally. There the manufacturers... Continue Reading →
It's all about the adventure It's summer here in Wisconsin and that means the campsites are jammed. Camping is a big deal here. I know because I used to work for a local retailer that specialized in camping gear. This week's spot has all the gear needed on four wheels, the Volkswagen Westfalia Camper. Affectionately...

A fun little drop top Now that the weather has finally started to get decent here in Wisconsin I'm starting to see summer cars like this week's car spot. This car just exudes fun! The Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet is the convertible version of the Volkswagen Golf, introduced in 1979. For younger readers, there was a... Continue Reading →
