Note: Today’s post is another one written by my friend Carmine a few years back. But he still has this car! -TK High fuel prices, uncertainty in the Middle East and at home, economic troubles, tightening CAFE regulations. No, it’s not 2012, but 1980, a year that marked the start of the long goodbye for…
Shabbat Shalom Israel: https://t.co/1kuVn2rH7T pic.twitter.com/fSpEVmE16O — Gal Gadot (@GalGadot) July 25, 2014 As an occasional, reluctant reviewer of new cars, I can appreciate how perspective can be in somewhat short supply when it comes to the latest and greatest of, well, just about anything.

Note: This post was originally published at the old site and was written by a friend of mine, Anthony Gucciardo. He shares my compulsion of owning multiple Lincoln Town Cars. -TK It’s 1997 and I am 16 years old. My family was planning a trip from Latham, NY (which is north of Albany) to the…
Sean writes: Hey Mark, As a current owner of a 2016 Fiesta ST, I absolutely love the car as I learned to drive stick on it! It is incredibly fun, a perfect daily and I get 30 mpg city driving in it. However, I always had a love for Mustangs. I have been eyeing the…
Before we begin, I have a confession to make: I don’t read automotive blogs/websites. I mainly avoid reading them because: A. Most of them are terrible. 2. I don’t have a ton of spare time. D. I’d prefer not to have my own opinion of a car/topic colored by somebody else. There are, of course, exceptions to…
I have been a member of the Lincoln and Continental Owners Club since 2015. One of the perks of being a member, other than the excellent club magazine, is the local and regional events that are planned throughout the year. As a member of the Great Lakes Region, most of our chapter’s activities are around…
Through what I’ll just call a bizarre set of circumstances, I found myself needing to make a 520 mile drive through Maryland, West Virginia, and Kentucky over the weekend, and I found myself without a car to do it. No matter—I’m such a frequent renter of cars from National Car Rental that I have a…
Some people love Corvettes. Others are really into Civics. And in certain parts of the country, there are fine folks who will accept nothing less than a diesel F250 King Ranch. But for me, it’s Broughams. Fine, wire wheel-covered, opera-lamped Broughams. With soft Corinthian leather, d’Elegance button tufted seating, St. Regis landau tops, and chrome….
Soccer Saturday is, by far, my favorite day of the week. It’s not really even close. My work schedule is such that I’m normally traveling out on Monday morning, working 16 hour days Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and then flying home, dead tired, on Friday afternoon. Sunday is the day that I steel myself to…
Today’s post is by none other than my uncle, Dave Klockau. This was previously published over at the old site I used to write for. TK In the late 1800s a sailor in the German Navy by the name of Wilhelm Johann Klockau, decided to jump ship in New York harbor and made his way…
