I’m in Love with My Car: Cars That Inspired Music
When I used to DJ on college radio many years ago, I’d love to put together sets that were inspired by different subjects.

A Midsize SUV Showdown: The 2023 Outback vs. The 2023 Atlas Cross Sport
Two-row midsize SUVs occupy an interesting place among this class of vehicles. They are larger than compact crossovers, affording more roominess but often lower fuel economy.

Ride, Sally, Ride in a 2023 Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang made its debut on April 17, 1964 at the New York World’s Fair. I was just over two weeks old, so I guess I can be forgiven for not remembering the event. Even so, the great Wilson Pickett immortalized the Mustang in the song “Mustang Sally.” For those who don’t remember, the […]
