Audi keeps the formula simple, and I can respect that if I don’t full enjoy it. It’s in that…

I did just that recently. Exotics Racing is a wonderful daytime diversion for the car nut visiting Sin City. You…

For the third time in 20 minutes, a military helicopter has flown past and interrupted my particularly lovely view of the Pacific Ocean.
