Honest car reviews both big and small
I find a super-clean Arizona truck for sale on a Wisconsin road. Chrysler, or FCA Chrysler, or now Stellantis, has gone to the vault to revive a nameplate from the past. It happened with the Jeep Gladiator, Chrysler with the Pacifica, and Dodge with the Challenger and Charger. Now it's Ram's turn as it is... Continue Reading →
"Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale, and it's about to set sailI got me a car, it seats about 20So come on and bring your jukebox money" Screen grab from their music video. The exact model is never mentioned or shown. Lyrics from the B-52s’ 1989 smash “Love Shack” about a... Continue Reading →
I'm back after taking a couple of weeks off to go to some flying events. Flew some fun stuff and saw lots of cool stuff. Now I have a great find to share.

I'm now one week post-EAA's AirVenture 26, and the withdrawal has pretty much passed. Saw some great aircraft and also some automobiles you don't see every day, like this 1965 Galaxie I spotted parked near the maintenance facility in Oshkosh. It looked right at home parked near the buildings where staff work on the equipment... Continue Reading →
A model car kit that grew up As a kid, I must have built dozens of plastic model car kits, and if you're into cars like I am, you probably did the same. The kits, made mostly of plastic, came in boxes that would have easily been mailed or nicely fit under the Christmas tree.... Continue Reading →

Part Cadillac, part Corvette The disadvantage of a small company, like American Motors, was that if they misjudged the market, like with the Pacer and Matador Coupe, they ended up on the ER with pneumonia. In contrast, a big company with lots of cash behind it, like General Motors, if they mess up on a... Continue Reading →
A car so cool its owner bought it back. In 1963, my dad landed a dream job as National Transportation Manager at his, and mine, dream company, American Motors.
