Greetings, Auto Enthusiasts!

Hello auto enthusiasts of the world!

Let me just start things off by posting a picture of one of the most beautiful cars ever made. This is what we, mankind, are capable of doing. Turning something which was first created to replace a horse, and over a span of more than a century, sculpt it into a beautiful and Aston-ishing machine. Marvel at the beauty of the Aston Martin DB9. The flowing shoulder line, elegant, but by no means too feminine. The smoothly bulged hood and purposeful stance add just enough masculinity without making it ostentatious. Few cars will ever look as good as this. Enjoy my blog!

What I Love About My Subaru BRZ

E verything. The End. No, but really. I love everything about the car. But that’s not the end of it. It doesn’t mean there aren’t certain things which I like more than others. For example, the steering. I love the steering. Everything from the tactual feel of the wheel itself to the feedback I get when I turn it. To me, it feels just right. It doesn’t feel artificially weighted, nor is it one-finger twirlable (yes, that’s a word starting now). I love it more than I love the engine, but it doesn’t mean the engine is bad. It took a bit of time to accept the fact that it has no low-end torque. I’ll never be able to rip through the gears like I used to in my Z28, but use the FA20 boxer engine right, and in the BRZ’s lightweight body, it’s just about acceptable. The fact that it makes all of its power right before redline is exciting. Get it above 5k rpm’s and the car pulls harder and harder until the shift ...

Why a Car Enthusiast Should Like Motorcycles

C ars and motorcycles, they really couldn't be any more different from one another. Apples and oranges, cats and dogs, men and women, are all things which are similarly dissimilar. So why bother and ask the question why a car enthusiast should, or would, like a motorcycle? The obvious answer for many of you would be that there are no reasons since the two are so contrasting. However, being a huge car enthusiast and also an avid motorcycle rider myself, I've come to a realization as to why I love bikes. We’re in a time where all classes of cars have been injected with steroids. A time where a grandmother’s sedan can have more power than a Ferrari of yesteryear. This has made it more and more difficult for enthusiasts to exploit the limits of their cars to have fun. If they were to, they’d either be sentenced to death for excessive speeding, or they’d instantaneously crash their cars, because the majority of drivers aren’t Ken Block. So, to tame all of those steroid-enhance...

The Pontiac Solstice GXP - Underrated and Gone Forever

T he Pontiac Solstice GXP, right…where do I start? Well, it’s a small, two-seater sports car, and it looks a lot worse than its face transplanted sister, the Saturn Sky Redline. Both cars are essentially the same, though, because the only difference between the two is in the looks department, so reviewing the Solstice GXP indirectly reviews the Sky Redline. The basic shapes of the two, though, are identical. Short stubby rear, short wheelbase, and a long nose. In a way, these two sports cars were GM’s final effort in increasing sales for its two long-time declining branches, Pontiac and Saturn. Obviously - as neither of the two companies exists any longer - GM’s attempt came up short, but it was a valiant effort. As my friend and I approach the car for the first time, we are very skeptical. I have seen many of these cars on the roads, and yes, obviously, they look sporty, but never have I seen one being driven with much gusto. In fact, the majority are owned by mid-agers. So, it...
