These teen years left a lasting impression from that point on where a car must have big V8, loud rumbling exhaust, and big tires, otherwise it did not get a second glance. It was the power hungry performance cars from Detroit's Big Three. The Mustang, the Camaro, the Firebird as well as the Chevelles, and Chargers to just name a few that you could hear coming a mile before they arrived. They got my attention! Over the years as I've traveled around to car shows my appreciation for the automobile expanded. The common thread that intrigued me...

Al rents his cottage, The Mainstay, out during the "season" but visits Cape Cod before the season and then again after the season to first prepare the cottage for guests...

The Mustang II is considered by most Mustang enthusiasts as the worst of the line. By 1974, pollution controls and gas mileage concerns were destroying the previous generation of classic hot rods.

There were no convertibles available that year.The car had two available engines: a 4 cylinder engine with only 88 horsepower, and a German-built 171 ci 2.8L V-6 rated at 105 hp.

I was listening to talk radio this morning. I know it shouldn't, but I do. Sometimes the host seems sane and sometimes you get a real stinking day, with the stinking-thinking of a Ghost-host, who is apparently havin' a bad day.How else could someone talk so darn mean? It seems as if the far right, that's my opinion, takes what they call "the high ground" on a subject, and then they get right down in the sewer! Not with their use of vulgar language or cussing, but the good ole' acceptable English words can be formed to do more than what a sword could do! This is because it would be a "sword fight", and not a one-sided combat! You see, from my perspective, the "target of the radio host usually does...

Protecting your seats with a snug fitting seat cover will take away the worry of staining your car seats or...

As a member of a car club I often wonder what inspires others like myself to join such an organization. Certainly the cameraderie, the sense of being part of a big family, is an important factor. The club I belong to is devoted to all Volkswagens, old and new. The question for others fascinated with these cars is, What got us interested in Volkswagens in the first place? There are probably as many stories of inspiration as there are dandelions in my front yard every Spring. With that said, here is mine.I was born in 1959, and my memory goes as far back as 1962, when I was about two and a half years old. In those days generally only one parent was the breadwinner, as was the case with my father. We...
