About Me
When I started writing this, I had pages and pages of wonderful, cute stories about how I have loved cars since I was a child and how divine inspiration led me to the creation of this page. I will spare you all that and just say the following:
I am a gearhead. I am one of those people who will spend hours reading or talking about the most inane aspects of cars, the guy whose idea of fun is a Sunday car show, and the guy who can’t take an off ramp at a speed of less than 60mph. I am a car nut.
I have an appreciation for cars that most people seem to lack. I know that the shape of a car can be rolling art, that the mechanics can be as inspiring and complicated as a Chopard watch. I take inspiration from design, and consider all great designs a form of art. I choose not to drive through life in a beige Toyota, but instead in a V12 Jaguar, screaming at the other people of the world: “Wake up. Why are you boring?”
I think plastic is for soda bottles and not a car interior, and rubber is for something else entirely. Give me a car swathed in leather and burled walnut, throw in a brutal V12 engine, and then give it a body like Salma Hayek reclining on a chaise…then my life will be complete. I want something more than ordinary, something exciting.
This is my site, and I love it. I was sick of those boring “news” automotive sites that tell me how to buy a cheaper Prius, or the ones that show me the same Ferrari repeatedly. I wanted to make a site with the best photos, of the most beautiful cars from around the web – sprinkled with some thought, intelligence, and wit.
I hope you enjoy this site and you and I have a great time talking about cars. It’s okay, you know, cars aren’t just transportation – not if you know better.

So how do I get my parents to buy me a pretty nice jeep?? Could you help me please??
Sure, all you have to do is click your heels, flash your eyes, and say pleeeeeaaasssee Daddy! and the car will be yours. He cant say no to you. Just dont try it on me…I know your tricks.
Nice site! Stylin’ for sure!!
Thanks…tell your friends!
Looks like a great site !! I too wanted to be a Car Designer when I was a kid, its a shame to read about
how it is today. My wife tells me im rainman but just with cars.LOL ! Cars are art (or used to be) no soul today in most and it makes you sick !
I interviewed a bunch of designer, and they all told me the same thing. Of course, if you are chief designer for Aston Martin or Ferrari, then maybe the story is different. Car design is still around, but car styling is gone. Mercedes and BMW can load more toys and gadgets than the space shuttle, then they wrap it up in a taco shell and send it off. Even a read through of most car websites is boring and beige. Right now the only ones I read are the ones I have as friends.
Thanks for the comment…
