I'll never forget the ski trip my college buddy and me took to Killington, Vemont in his Pontiac Acadia (aka-Chevette). Piled with skis and equipment, we got searched at the Canadian border. They came up empty (heh-heh)! ... View more

Love your 7 rule guide to vehicle ownership. I can check off most of them and add one-a motorcycle. ... View more

I bought a Honda CX500 Custom new in 1979 and absolutely loved the size, water-cooled shaft drive in a smaller mid size bike. I just bought a 1982 similar version with 12k miles and fell in love all over again. Not the fastest bike, but a reliable Honda that can cruise the countryside with ease! ... View more

I recently purchased a 2000 BMW Z3 roadster for my wife. 54k miles, no accidents and rust free for <$10k. With the 2.8L 6 cylinder and a 5speed, it is a hoot to drive!  ... View more

Have been trying to get my spouse excited about RVing for several years to no avail. After reading this article, I think I'll just shut up. Thanks! ... View more

In the early 70's I had a Chapparal dirt bike that I rode on one wheel as much as two. Had actually not thought of it for many years until I was watching an episode of "The Pickers" when they came across an old barn find Chapparal. Great fun for a 15 year old! ... View more

I have owned 2 Lexus SC300's and have found them to be the best built personal luxury coupes with just the right blend of power, handling and tech to satisfy the most discerning auto enthusiast.  ... View more

A well written and heartfelt piece. I lost my mom 2 years ago and this brought tears to my eyes as well as some good memories. Thank you for your story. ... View more

My wife loves to tell the story of the time in the mid '90's when I picked up a super clean '93 Acura Integra LS at a bargain price. After I got it home I gave it the once over only to realize it had no AC! I "assumed" all Acura's had air and we know what happens when we assume!! ... View more

One of my favorite things to do to this day is jump on my 1982 Honda cycle and meandering through the country side taking a myriad of side roads attempting to get lost. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't. But I always discover new places. ... View more

While travelling to our winter destination on the Gulf, I tired of the interstate and convinced my "time conscious" wife to travel the side roads. We were thoroughly enjoying the back roads when a coyote ran in front of us and I hit it squarely with the Forester! No damage to the Subaru, but we decided to get back on the interstate. ...

My father bought a Ford/Mercury dealership in 1963 and I had a front row seat to the Mustang intro and some glorious years for Ford products. I spent many an hour gazing at pamphlets full of Mach 1 and Boss 302 pics dreaming of the day I would be able to enjoy the raw power of Detroit muscle. My dad would often bring cool Ford offerings home. I remember him bring a "Cale Yarborough Special" home as well as a Cougar Eliminator. A seed was definitely planted and I have continued to water it with a plethora of performance cars. Thanks Dad! ... View more

For areas that are extremely "gunked up", I have had good luck covering the end of a flat screwdrive with a shop rag and loosening/removing the heavy stuff prior to applying a degreaser.  ... View more

I started selling new Fords back in 1977 (and still am!) and remember what an improvement the '78 model was. I think there was like a 400% sales increase. It was a real boost to our sales as the other offerings were a bit weak. ... View more

I have owned 2 SC300's and they are truly a joy to drive. Hard to imagine them not becoming a future collectible as they were quite pricey when new. Some of the best blend of engineering, performance and sex appeal in the automotive world IMHO! ... View more

Absolutely beautiful examples of automotive excellence. Wish I could afford them. Instead, just bought my wife a low mileage BMW Z3 for an anniversary gift. Great way to celebrate 36 years of marriage and relieve the weird times we are in! ... View more

We are currently in the process of buying a BMW Z3 convertible. It has been a great diversion this strange time we are in. This article really spoke to me. Thanks! ... View more

A good friend of mine had a older Dart with the "leaning tower of power" slant 6 that he couldn't kill. With over 200k miles on it, he ran drain oil in it and beat the s*** out of it. Finally ran into a bridge abutment to end it's days! ... View more
