Virtually any list of the greatest sports cars of all time includes at least one Ferrari. The marque is one of the strongest brand names in the world, earning its recognition through racing excellence and a sports car division that exists solely to support said excellence; it’s requisite for such a brand to be a […]
I’ll never forget my dad’s first Cadillac. It was a ’69 Sedan DeVille in Shalimar Gold. But what made it so memorable was the first road trip we made in that Cadillac. It was August 15, 1969, and we were heading to my uncle’s summer home in the Catskills. All that stood between us and […]
Anyone who has spent enough time around true gearheads knows that the automotive world has its fair share of jargon. From “hooning” around with friends to giving your ride a “dab of oppo,” modding the “end can” on your “tuner” to firing up the “four-banger” or switching out the” slushbox” on your “sleeper,” these slang […]
Ford is an automaker with a long and storied history, stretching all the way back to 1903 and the very earliest days of the automotive industry. So while you may think you’re looking at a variety of different model years while browsing the F-150s at a used truck dealer, you’re really just scratching the surface. […]
Automotive enthusiasts without the exorbitant funds needed for a proper car collection have long had to choose between prowess and practicality. Sports cars have the power and precision that drivers who really care about cars crave but often lack the passenger and cargo space necessary to make them usable for everyday tasks.

What’s the most iconic motorcycle brand in America? Every Harley-Davidson dealer swells with pride, knowing the answer is obvious. Harley-Davidson has been a staple in the American motorcycle industry since the 1900s.

“The Green Hell,” as Sir Jackie Stewart named it, may be the most demanding track on Earth. There are those which are older, more renowned, or drive faster, but no permanent circuit is longer nor features more varied topography. The Nurburgring is one of the most dangerous tracks in the world, so long and winding […]
Last month, I wrote about a car that was being sold at auction on November 5th, 2022: a 2003 Enzo Ferrari. The car is one of the most special members of a now-dissolved club called the Gran Turismo Collection by RM Sotheby’s. This is a relatively small collection composed of 18 of the rarest and […]
It was 1910, and William Durant was out as the President of General Motors. The big thinking and rapid acquisitions that were a hallmark of Durant’s tenure caught up with the company, and GM found itself overextended and looking for someone to blame. Durant was that someone. But Durant was not done with General Motors, […]
Unveiled in 2019, the Jeep Gladiator pickup might seem like something of a departure for the brand. The Gladiator made waves upon its debut, turning heads with its fusion of off-road capability and classic Jeep styling with the utility of a full-bed pickup. While the model seems like a bold new step for Jeep, which […]
Speed has always been at the heart of the motorcycle industry as manufacturers like Suzuki transformed traditional bicycles into motorized chariots capable of getting us from Point A to Point B faster than humans have any right to go. Suzuki’s 1952 prototype, the Atom, was underpowered, with its 30cc engine barely churning out 0.2 hp. […]

The […]
In a world where nearly every pop culture franchise seems to get rebooted time and time again, the auto industry is lagging behind. From Star Wars and Jurassic Park to live-action Disney remakes and TV sitcoms, nostalgia is all the rage, and the same can be said when it comes to our cars, trucks, and […]
Nostalgia; it’s one of the most powerful forces in the marketplace. Many of us have films, music, and television shows that we’re all too eager to reminisce about and revisit. All too often, we do this to relive the fleeting memories of youth that we can still gaze at through rose-tinted goggles and feel whimsical. […]
The 2022 NASCAR season has seen the debut of the new Next Gen car for the Cup Series, but the switch to a new car hasn’t slowed down the winningest manufacturer in NASCAR history. Chevy celebrated the new NASCAR Camaro ZL1 by picking up 18 wins in the regular season––more than twice as many as […]
Utopia (noun): an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. This story begins with Leonardo da Vinci—a man so well-endowed with genius, creativity, and talent for invention that “everything he [did] clearly [came] from God rather than from human skill”. He has been immortalized not only for artistic works but for […]
Americans are passionate about their vehicles, with some of the grandest rivalries slating Chevrolet loyalists against Ford fans. However, many drivers are arguably in on a secret that the rest of America has yet to discover or continues to ignore. It’s the power of the boxer engine and its predominant role in the capability of […]
When it comes to automakers, GMC is as famous as it gets, with some of the most influential vehicles that have ever graced the roadways in its arsenal. Passing by your local used GMC dealer, it’s always fun to imagine what exactly is hidden on the lot for some classic car aficionado to discover. After […]
Once in a while, a car so special comes along that it parks right in the heart of the automotive zeitgeist. Very few models manage to not only sell well and evolve over decades but earn their way into coveted collector’s item status. One such car became the epitome of American muscle. Step foot onto […]
There are many, many reasons people love Harley-Davidson motorcycles so much. I’ve known quite a few enthusiasts over the years because my friend’s father was an airbrush artist, and my dad would go with him to Sturgis and Daytona Beach and help out with the business side of things while my friend’s dad painted––he could […]
