Mach 1 - Who wouldn't love a pony?
Photo Source The Mustang Mach 1 has always been a bit of an outlier. The performance package was first produced in 1968 for the 1969 model year. It has always been a best-seller, but it tends to fall to the wayside when compared to the GT and the Cobra. It has been on my mind since [...]
Mach-E-volution
Photo Source Unless you haven’t been paying attention, Ford has taken a massive leap forward with the Mustang Mach-E electric SUV. And yes, you read that correctly - Mustang Electric SUV. Now don’t get me wrong, dear readers, I love this new direction in a big way, but the question still remains: is it really a [...]
A Total Triumph
Photo Source Triumph is known mostly for its motorcycles these days, and even during their heyday, Triumph cars were not widely popular in the U.S. So, it’s with that in mind when I say that I love to jump into one of their more popular American releases, the Triumph TR6, whenever I get the chance. I [...]
Big things come in small Boxsters
Photo Source I’ll admit, as a teenager, I had a snotty, sarcastic side. When my girlfriend’s dad brought home a Porsche Boxster in 2000, his son and I gave him a hard time about buying the “baby Boxster.” His son told him it wasn’t a real Porsche unless it was a 911. We were both talking [...]
Go Westy
Photo Source March 8, 1950 was the birthdate of one of car history’s greatest icons, the Volkswagen Type II, so today we celebrate getting back outside and into nature with a look at the VW Westfalia, the pop-top camper that burst onto the scene in 1968. I have always been tangentially aware of the Westfalia because it [...]
Four-Wheeling in Winter Wonderland
Photo Source In the crunchy Northern Virginia winter, it can be a bit tough to get around. It doesn’t snow often enough or long enough for people to truly prepare, but it does get icy quite frequently. I’ve always been a four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive kind of guy mainly because I see the need to get in [...]
Who Won Last Night? We Did.
Photo Source Hello, dear readers! Hopefully everyone enjoyed that annual smorgasbord of Sunday night entertainment; whether you showed up for the game, the ads, the halftime show, or all three, there was quite a lot to unpack. I always look forward to the car commercials because they seemed to go bigger and bigger every year for [...]
Hats Off to Opel!
Photo Source One carmaker we have never really discussed in depth has a somewhat weird history of badge-engineered vehicles while also maintaining a solid livery of high-end race cars. Opel Automobile GmbH began as a sewing-machine manufacturer, founded by Adam Opel in Germany in 1862 and transformed to a coach-maker and eventually an automotive company. Its [...]
A+ for the A-Class
Photo Source Last week, we explored the VW Phaeton, and during that discussion, we touched on the Mercedes A-Class being a catalyst in the creation of that luxury sedan. So, I thought that this week we could dig into the A-Class and its design and popularity as well as the decisions that led Mercedes to dip [...]
VW Phaeton - an All-Too Brief Ray of Sunshine
Photo Source Back in the early 2000s, Volkswagen chief Ferdinand Piëch was in a battle with Mercedes-Benz over the affordable European car market. Mercedes had just introduced the A-Class at the tail-end of the ‘90s, and Piëch felt the crunch of Stuttgart flexing its considerable muscle in the market. In a somewhat ill-fated response, VW released [...]
