CC Capsule: The Great Alaskan Batmobile
Posted on April 9, 2015 | 23 CommentsWe were somewhere outside Wasilla, at the edge of civilization (or something like it), when the drugs began to take hold. Or at least that’s what it felt like when […] -
CC Capsule. Alfistissimma!
Posted on April 8, 2015 | 41 CommentsCaptured this interesting combination of Alfas recently. I’m going to take a wild guess and say that they all belong to the same household, particularly when you consider that they live […] -

Posted on March 17, 2015 | 64 Comments(first posted in 2011) That tag line comes from the Squire’s ad, which I’ll show you shortly. But It’s not what was on my mind when Stephanie and I dropped […] -
CC Capsule: 1992 Nissan 300ZX – There’s Still Hope for Kids Today
Posted on March 17, 2015 | 65 CommentsThey say kids today don’t care much about cars and driving. My 18-year-old son is the poster child for that: he dragged his feet for two years on getting his […] -
CC Capsule: Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer – Jeep, Austrian Style
Posted on March 10, 2015 | 46 Comments(first posted 2/16/2012) How can I resist not putting this up, posted at the Cohort by Andrew Turnbull? I’ve been trying to figure out just what my profoundly deep-rooted connection […] -
CC Capsule: 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300D – The Ultimate Professor’s Car
Posted on March 10, 2015 | 62 CommentsHere it is: the ultimate professor’s car. At least, that’s what I thought of the Mercedes-Benz W123 when I grew up across town from the University of Notre Dame. My […] -

Posted on February 17, 2015 | 55 CommentsAlthough a great decline was looming on the horizon, Oldsmobile was on a remarkable high in the mid-1980s. From 1984-1986, the Olds division posted consecutive output of over 1 million cars each […] -
