Lexus RC F – A Father’s Day Fantasy

Jun 22 by 3 Comments

Ties, fancy razors, golf balls and power tools. All examples of Father’s Day presents I’m thankful I did not receive this year. Instead, Lexus let me loose with the direct descendant of their LFA supercar — the 2015 Lexus RC-F. Talk about a Father’s Day Fantasy… I’ve spent the last few days trying to sum up […]

All Hail The 2015 Nissan Murano

Jun 21 by 5 Comments

“I totally love this car, I’d so buy one”, said Missi as she drove the Murano on a Starbucks run. We had just spent twenty of the last twenty-four hours driving from Indianapolis, to San Antonio, Texas. But first, we made a pit-stop in Dallas to pick-up a 2015 Murano Platinum AWD. The rest is, well […]

2015 Honda Fit – The Perfect Fit

Jun 6 by Leave a Comment

 “Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Teenager, Uber or Pizza delivery driver… No matter how old you are, or what you do — if Mark Zuckerberg loves his Honda Fit, then so can you”. Disclaimer: I’m the happy owner of a 2012 Honda Civic with little over 50,000 miles on the odometer, so I really looked forward […]

Stutz – An Indianapolis automotive gem.

Jun 5 by 1 Comment

Hidden on Senate and 11th street near the heart of downtown Indy, is a building called Stutz Business Center. Inside it is an absolute gem for any racing fan, or car nut in general. But just like most precious gems — you have to look closely in order to find it. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was […]

2015 Ford Expedition King Ranch EcoBoost

Jun 3 by 8 Comments

“We recently drove a 2015 Ford Expedition King Ranch to the Ford EcoBoost Challenge in Cincinnati, Ohio. And while a 365-hp, 5,600-lbs. SUV may not fit your idea of a fuel-efficient vehicle, We’ll tell you how our Expedition delivered better MPG than other smaller vehicles we’ve driven.” “We loved our Expedition so much, we nicknamed it — EcoBeast” […]

Autocrossing in a Nissan 370Z NISMO

Jun 1 by 3 Comments

I recently had a blast behind the wheel of a 2016 Nissan 370Z NISMO at the Road America racetrack in Wisconsin. But unlike most of the cars I get to drive, I could only experience the Z on track and not the street. But that’d be something silly to complain about — right? “There’s nothing truly revolutionary about the […]

What’s it like to race a Toyota Sienna at Road America?

May 23 by 3 Comments

The answer is: I don’t know. Toyota thought it would be a bad idea to let me burn rubber in their latest version of the “Swagger Wagon”. But after a seven hour drive from Wisconsin to Indiana, I realized there wouldn’t have been much tire smoke to begin with, as this is the only all-wheel […]

Why good parents bring their kids to the Indy 500

May 21 by 3 Comments

Why good parents bring their kids to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500. So many times I come across people in Indianapolis that have never been to the Indy 500, or even worse — they think it’s a “guys only” thing. Both of those situations are a total shame, considering my entire family […]

2015 Lexus NX200t: Mother’s Day in style

May 10 by 8 Comments

Ahh Mother’s Day, our third consecutive holiday after Valentine’s Day and Wedding Anniversary — yay. Thankfully, this year I had something else to look forward to besides overpriced flowers, and a long wait at Red Lobster. What is it? The hottest SUV on the market, the 2015 Lexus NX! But there was a problem, it […]
