    It’s been two great days. For me,  the New York Auto Show is an annual two-day escape from the reality of my day job and my family. I love going there, seeing everything, and talking to a lot (but not all) the people there. Like any vacation, it’s never long enough. See you next year,…

    Wednesday night we had our first annual (is it annual if it’s first?) Hooniverse/Blipshift gathering. Chances are that you were not there, and that’s too bad because you missed the opportunity to share beers with me, Jeff, Blake Z. Rong, Jack Baruth, John Krafcik (CEO of Hyundai), the guys from Limited Slip Blog, and a…

    The recent Hooniverse post about the coolest car toy of your youth got me to thinking about the question “When did it start for me?” That is, when exactly did my love of cars begin? I’m pretty certain it all started when I was around 7 years old, sparked by a Matchbox Motorway race set.…
