Roadside Discoveries: Otto's Wheels, Inc.; A Classic in Classic Cars
/
I ran this post in Automotive Traveler almost a year ago. Since then, I no longer travel about looking for these oddities, mainly because I no longer travel about…. The company I was working for decided they no longer need an articulate, cultivated individual within the medium truck world, just someone who says yes all…

Cuda Twofer Impresses Upon Us The Need For a Larger Driveway
/
It’s a good thing the Mad_Science Laboratory is located in a relatively dense section of LA’s original suburbs. Aside from the preferable aesthetics of a nearly 100 year old house, our neighborhood is dense enough to limit driveway capacity to a “just right” 5 vehicles.

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a rumor floating about that Ford is about to pull the plug on granny Mercury.

Streetwalking: Hoon on the Bayou edition
/
Any schmuck can take a family sedan and crazy glue a V8 emblem to the back and call it a day. I’ve even heard tell there may or may not be a Prius running around with a Hemi emblem stuck to it. I don’t believe this to be the case. I believe that V8 emblem…

Do We Even Need a Reason to Post a Brat?
/
No. No, we do not. To appease the skeptics, this is the nicest looking Brat I’ve ever seen at <i>any price</i>, let alone for a mere $2500. It’s got 120k miles, t-tops, jump seats, and AC. Keep in mind, those t-tops are glass pop-up units, arguably the pinnacle of 80s roof engineering. We dig the…
