Why A Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Is The Perfect Vehicle For Autumn premium
This Dark Red over Cognac Leather example is so autumnal in its appearance, it might as well come with a bag of McIntosh apples, and a six pack of Dogfish Head Punkin Ale.

Malaise Monday, Labor Day Edition: A Salute To Wagons premium
With summer “officially” ending today, I thought it appropriate to salute the ultimate summer vehicle, the Malaise Era wagon. It didn’t matter which of the Big 3’s brands you went with, all of them offered a long roof option that could fit the whole family, including pets, and cousins. The classic quintessential American vacation, as sold […]

Future Used Car Review: 2015 Infiniti QX80 Limited premium
I am not part of the target demographic for a 6,000 pound, $90k, body-on-frame luxury SUV. Most people my age scoff at the notion that anyone could possibly need a vehicle like the Infiniti QX80 Limited, but what many young adults fail to recognize is that there is a world beyond their own. One where wants vastly outweigh needs, and it […]

Wallpaper Wednesday: Austin-Healey 3000 premium
What is it about British roadsters that captures the imagination? For me it’s the combination of effortless style and an abundance of attitude. Of course the signature sound produced by the 2.9L I6 in the Austin-Healey 3000 doesn’t hurt either. Cruising down a country road, RPMs up, top down, that’s my idea of a perfect moment. […]

Malaise Monday 8/31: 1980-1983 Lincoln Continental Mk VI premium
I can only imagine how happy automakers, and the general public, were to leave the 1970s behind. It was a decade of rude awakenings, wait, we have an impact on the environment?!, and major social upheaval, All In The Family, disco. Sure there were bright spots, Scorcese, Zeppelin, Trans-Am SD-455, but for the most part the 70s were […]

Underrated Ride Of The Week: ’02-’04 Audi A6 2.7T premium
While I appreciate the entirety of the C5 Audi A6 lineup, it is the post facelift ’02-’04 models that hold a special place in my heart, and on my automotive bucket list. Audi took an already beautiful design and tweaked it ever so slightly to give the final 3 model year A6s the sendoff they […]
