If you’re an adult and live on planet earth there is a 67.667, repeating of course, chance you are aware of the game “Fuck, Kill, Marry.” In the same vein of Cards Against Humanity, it is best played intoxicated and in large groups so that the revelations spouted from your foul, both figurative and … Continue reading F**k, Kill, Marry

Do cars have spiritual successors?
Are cars alive? Do they have spiritually successors? When I was growing up I made a habit of gravitating toward the obscure. Well, more like I would gravitate toward things that my Dad and one brother didn’t like. It worked so well I ended up with a lifelong love of all things oddity, a concussion, … Continue reading Do cars have spiritual successors?
When Automotive Obscurity Goes Mainstream
I spent the better part of high school, college and my initial years in the military regarded as a nerd. And that's just fine... it's who I am. Honestly my love of cars was probably the only thing that kept me one foot out of full-fledged nerdom. My vast collection of old game systems, knowledge … Continue reading When Automotive Obscurity Goes Mainstream
The Perfect Formula… and its Failure
When does the perfect formula fail to perform? In automotive history, I’d reckon its happened more than once. One of my favorite cars, all time, that isn’t a Volkswagen just so happens to be one of these. An almost near perfect fusion of American muscle and European style, a fuel-efficient engine with enough power for … Continue reading The Perfect Formula… and its Failure
We Need to Talk About Automotive Advertisements
In the past I’ve expressed my derision for the Liberty Mutual vehicle insurance advertisements. These “real people” telling stories of how they wrecked their car being imbecilic and somehow it is the insurance company that is “stupid” or “dumb” because they, as a consumer, fail to understand how things with cars work. Things like: everything, … Continue reading We Need to Talk About Automotive Advertisements
Rental Car Roundup – 2017 Ford Fusion
When taking work trips I often get rental cars. This car did not come from a work trip but was attached to the tail end of one. I rented it personally to visit family while getting a free ride, through work, to the east coast. Previously I had a 2017 Nissan Sentra, compliments of the … Continue reading Rental Car Roundup – 2017 Ford Fusion
What is the most 90’s car?
I may date myself a little here but I’ve been thinking about the 1990s. A decade that brought us pizza everything and Crystal Pepsi. Clearly the winner of all decades… ever. But what car best represents the 1990s? That got me thinking about every decade since the invention of the automated horseless carriage mobile. … Continue reading What is the most 90’s car?
Timeless Design: Early Front Engine/Rear Drive Porsches
There are only a select few time tested, descriptive phrases that swirl around the auto industry. None of those are as hard to achieve as “Timeless Design.” A design so elegant and beautiful it stands for all time. But what constitutes a timeless design? Does it merely have to be eye candy, or is it … Continue reading Timeless Design: Early Front Engine/Rear Drive Porsches
What Was Your Driver’s Ed Car?
Ah driver’s education. That first taste of the open road for so many American teens. A microcosm of poor teaching, hard braking, tense moments and shitty cars. I want to know, do you remember your driver’s ed car? Did anything comical happen during your classes? I’m pretty sure this topic is ripe with comedic gold! … Continue reading What Was Your Driver’s Ed Car?
Rental Car Roundup – 2017 Nissan Sentra S
Driving this vehicle was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life… and I’ve been through the gas chamber twice. I have the privilege of occasionally traveling for business reasons. When I do my company pays for a rental car. They even splurge on the compact over the subcompact model. I was told at … Continue reading Rental Car Roundup – 2017 Nissan Sentra S
