View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bark (@barkmfitness) For the past eight years, when it comes to exercise and health, I’ve only had two modes—all in, or all out. I have either worked out six days a week and watched my diet with the intensity of a thousand suns, or I’ve sat…
On June 22nd, I once more pointed the Cartier towards Chicagoland and yet another Cadillac show.

Yes, I’d just been there…

The last several years, a lot of great new diecast has come along to warm my 1970s/1980s, Broughamified heart. Such as these most excellent Ford LTD Country Squire and LTD Crown Victoria station wagons, made in 1/64 scale by Greenlight Collectibles. A few years back, Greenlight made a 1/64 scale version of the famous Wagon…
