I am not an automotive designer. I did, however, stay at a Holiday Inn in Wolfsburg, Germany. You know, the home of Volkswagen. It wasn’t an express because I don’t think those exist in Europe. Also, it was a Best Western. All of this is to say I am nowhere near qualified to evaluate the … Continue reading Total Eclipse of the Heart

Why Does Your Toyota Smell Like a Fart?
We are back! And-as you can tell by the title of this article-with quality content!!! YES! Three exclamation points. Get on up Racers it's sulfur surfing time! It was 2004 and I had just enlisted in the service. Like most I was wide eyed and full of optimism. Scratch that I was cynical, probably more … Continue reading Why Does Your Toyota Smell Like a Fart?
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.

What is the most 90’s car?

We can’t have these anymore and it is everyone’s fault. Everyone sucks at driving. I refer to it as an iPhone mentality but it started long ago in … Continue reading Where Have All the Cheap Cars Gone?
What should we do with all those VW TDI vehicles?
Unless you have been living under the hubcap of a 1972 Pinto Hatchback you’ve probably heard VW has been very very dirty as of late. In other words they are the automotive version of Ashley Madison. I’ll save my judgement of both VW and those who’ve been hate mongering the slighted moniker for another post. … Continue reading What should we do with all those VW TDI vehicles?
Toyota Engineers and NASA Scientists Working Together: Black Holes and Fecal Matter
Toyota Engineers and NASA Scientists Working Together: Black Holes and Fecal Matter. Honestly the title of this post is a little misleading. It very well could’ve been “The Current State of Automotive Design” or “I Fucking hate the grill on any new Lexus vehicle.” Either Way by this point you get the idea. I hate … Continue reading Toyota Engineers and NASA Scientists Working Together: Black Holes and Fecal Matter
