Lotus Elise, The Budget Supercar

Every car person wants to own a supercar, but few can afford one. Even in the $50,000 dollar range there’s nothing that even comes close to super, except the Lotus Elise.


 
Mustang Sadly

April 17th is the birthday of the Ford Mustang. Introduced on this date in 1964, the Pony Car has a long and varied history. To some, the car is an icon. To many others, the car is a reminder of what corporate America can do with a good idea.


 
A Challenger Appears

One day last week, a Challenger appeared at my door to stake its claim as king of the garage. In an instant, my tiny Mazda Miata became an outcast, losing its prime garage spot and being forever banished to the elements.


 
Lamborghini Miura, The First Supercar

Supercar. That one word describes the ultimate in a motor vehicle, a car that combines the absolute epitome of style, technology, and power into one beautiful piece of rolling sculpture.


 
The Audrey Hepburn of Cars

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear once said of driving the Pagoda, “I look at everybody else going around in their air conditioned Euro boxes, and I just feel…better off.”


 
A Time of Death and Heroes

It was Henry Ford who said that “Auto Racing began 5 minutes after the second car was built,” and since the very late 1800’s we have been in awe of the brave and somewhat crazy men who risk their lives for competition.


 
The Art Deco Era: Cars of the 1940’s

The 1940’s were a time of great hardship and glory in the world. Within the automotive industry, it marked the end of an era, the spirit of patriotic duty, and the beginning of the jet age.
