I would have liked to see Petit Lemans become a full 24-hour race. Road Atlanta is a better track than the road-val track at Daytona for endurance...

Yes, those are loud and have an ear piercing pitch, too. Of course, nothing beats a top-fuel dragster for both rumble and pain. I'm not into...

I've photographed a handful of ALMS races, and the Vettes are distinct. The Audi TDIs were almost silent. The Ferraris sang. The most ear piercing...

Or, alien messaging? (putting on foil hat). CD

Cool video, but just to be clear, neither of those cars actually won Lemans. The C6 only won its class. I am glad to see that those cars are...

My MINI is staying in its garage, again, today. Why? Because I am hibernating. It is 25 degrees out there. One year ago, today, it was 70-degrees...

My car stayed in its detached two-car garage all day. I wish I had thought to insulate my garage when the house was being built, so I could add...

I had a couple of neighbors over today. One made a pot of chili, and I made some cornbread from scratch. Chili and cornbread are a deep South...

Happy New Year to one and all! CD

Ran errands today in the cold air. It is amazing how much better my MINI runs in weather like this, compared to the 100-plus days of summer. I...

Since it is cold this week -- one of our three weeks of winter -- I used the leftover xmas ham bone to make some ham and bean soup. My house was...

I've destroyed power tools on multiple kinds of woods. As I recall, old redwood was not hard, but perhaps very dense. It slowed the circular saw...

I drove my MINI for the first time in a week. It was 33 degrees out, so no AC compressor drag and 33-degree air blowing through the intercooler --...

Most dealers use third-party software, like DealerTrack, to list their inventory online. With those services, the dealer enters a VIN, and the...

All things are relative, and relatively speaking, an R53 in great condition is a great buy. It is a one owner car, so service records may be...

Sweet car. In 1997, I went to a Chevy dealer to get a part for my work truck, and they had a 1990 Miata, loaded, with the optional hard top -- and...

I'm out of town for the Solstice, and forgot to pack my robes and cutlery. CD

My MINI is at home in the garage, while I do the family xmas tour in a rented Silverado crew-cab 4X4 pickup. I've got to build something for my...

Not me, I did just the opposite. I took the 73 Lemans my parents bought new, and my sister trashed and restored it in High School. My parents were...
