  • The Grand Prix Masters – Would it Work Better Now?

    If you haven’t heard of the Grand Prix Masters series before, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised. It was a very short-lived racing series that had a simple, yet very intriguing concept.

  • Is Valtteri Bottas the Drive to Survive Generation’s David Coulthard?

  • Return of the T: Porsche’s new Macan T is an agile, 261-horsepower SUV

    Back in 2017, Porsche did something that they haven’t done for a while: they resurrected the 911 Carrera “T,” standing for everything driver-focused… or in a more literal sense: “Touring.” Guess what? Porsche enthusiasts went wild. It was so much of a hit that it validated the “back to the basics” formula that enthusiasts love. […] More

  • Climb Dance

    Colorado, 1988. The sloping hills are host to a modicum of unnatural machinery. Below the jagged, snow-tipped mountains and in the thin air of the peak, there can be heard the whir of turbochargers and the cheer of an enthused crowd. Daunting cliffs and unprotected drops line the dirt track and spectators position themselves on […] More

  • Re-thinking about Polestar 2’s Super Bowl LVI commercial

    So previously I criticized Polestar’s “No Compromise” commercial for being too simplistic, to the point of being bland and bleak.

For this article, I will only cover ones that were […] More

  • Happy to meet you all!

    1. Where have I been?

  • Might this be the Canary Cummins in the Coal Mine?

    The day is near when old diesel pickup trucks stop being held as appreciating assets and (briefly) go back to work on the backroads and interstates of America.
