Honest car reviews both big and small
East Germany's answer to West Germany's "People's Car" .... Growing up in the 1960s and '70s I remember the Cold War, and how the communists used East Berlin as a showcase for the success of socialism. Automobiles were a big part of that but ultimately, they were just terrible cars like this week's car spot,... Continue Reading →
The International House of Ford ... Growing up in the 1970s and having a dad who worked in the auto industry, American Motors, I can tell you it was not a fun time. If this sounds familiar, let me know as it was pretty much all about politics. Because the United States supported Israel in... Continue Reading →
World's first flying sports car As I write this post I'm suffering from post-AirVenture depression. My first love is all things aviation being a pilot. For as long as I can remember I've attended the Experimental Aircraft Association's (EAA) AirVenture in Oshkosh. For one week at the end of July, the airport becomes the world's... Continue Reading →
Favoring style and performance over tradition ... Do you have a pile of money? I mean a really big pile just burning a hole in your pocket and looking to make a statement? The 22 Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge might be your ticket. Mark and I are members of the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA)... Continue Reading →
The car made famous by Roger Moore Growing up in the 1960s I loved the spy TV shows.

Later on ABC and then NBC... Continue Reading →
Mona Lisa of Modena! Collecting cars is all about friendships and this week's spot is a great example of that.

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 →
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 →
GM's first entry into the personal luxury car market ... I remember 1963. I was in fourth grade living in Madison, Wis. Yup, remember the day when we were told that JFK was assassinated. I remember it more because it was also the year that my dad was hired by American Motors, and we moved... Continue Reading →
