Posted on June 28, 2013 | 61 CommentsRecent experiences, combined with Brendan Saur’s post (here) got me to thinking. Earlier today, my wife called me at work, sounding quite frantic. The ’93 Buick Century was suddenly running […] -
CC Outtake: Suzuki Kei-Class Pop-Up Motor Home
Posted on June 28, 2013 | 16 CommentsNow why Did CC Contributor Dave Skinner think of me when he shot this in Japan the other day? Is it my fetish for campers, or kei-class trucks? Well, he […] -

1968 LeMans Day Finale: Van and Fitz Get Into The Act
Posted on June 27, 2013 | 39 CommentsSince we kind of fell into LeMans Day today, I thought it appropriate to include this selection of illustrations by Van Kaufman and Art Fitzpatrick from the 1968 Pontiac prestige […] -
