Let's say you're a fan of all-American muscle, and you want to stand out from the legions of other Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger owners prowling the streets. You need presence. You want to intimidate. You won't be satisfied until you have the ability to instantly vanquish large amounts of fossil fuels with your right foot. Enter Saleen. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Doug, in typical humorous DeMuro fashion, brought up that females aren't really into cars. While some females may like cars, having a fancy car in and of itself is not going to make you more attractive to women. This got me thinking about how my wife feels about automobiles. Mrs. Automatch is not what I would call a "gear-head," though she is very tolerant of my obsession. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

We all know the famous Automotive Journalists from around the world: Clarkson, Harris and many others. Mexico also has its own very important figure to the automotive world - his name is Alfonso Chiquini. He is a 38-40 ish year old man that has a radio show, a TV show, and goes around the world visiting to a lot of places to eat free food and drive cars nice cars. Heaven. He is the most famous and well known journalist of the country and today I had the fortune to meet him. He is absolutely awesome. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

The samurai practitioners of Bushido used the tenets of Zen Buddhism to guide themselves morally and spiritually in a life surrounded by the threat of sudden death. Racing drivers share these circumstances with the samurai. Their chosen careers require that they put themselves in harms way constantly, pushing themselves and their vehicles to the limit in the pursuit of victory. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

It may be a bit late for Syncro de Mayo, but it is never a bad time to post up a 4Motion equipped, 8-cylinder powered, low-mile Volkswagen Wagon. The B5 generation Passat was remodeled in late 2000 (known internally as the B5.5 generation) and recieved updated headlights, chrome trim and optional W8 engine. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and check out !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

The 2010 Camaro was undoubtedly the most leaked and revealed car of all time. Whether it was legitimate spy photos, GM's own leaked photos, watching it literally beat the shit out of a Decepticon Mustang in the Transformers movie, or the fact that it almost went unchanged from the 2006 Concept – sure as hell kept the concept's green house [warm]. We saw that bitch for years before it ever hit dealer lots. And somehow GM managed to maintain the hype. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

That old chestnut, the object example of truth lovingly wrapped in a cliché. We all know people who have purchased cars previously the property of a rental or loaner fleets. And not ironically, either; this wasn't some vane nod toward empathy – like adopting an abused baby harp seal because you feel bad – or merely thumbing their nose at the Goddess of Nice Used Cars. They saw no problem in purchasing an automobile that had likely never known an easy day in its life. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Had the day off work today so decided to go test drive the Focus ST/FiST. But the FiST is never available in my town to test drive (only special orders) and the Focus was DOA… (Subaru wanted me to drive the WRX so bad that they, what I can only assume, sabotaged the only available Focus ST across town by depleting its battery. They then threw me the keys and said have at it son) !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

The good people at Colorado Springs' Red Nolan Jaguar-Land Rover gave me a call today to let me know they had their first two F-Type coupes in stock. They wondered if I'd like to drive one. "Why yes, I certainly would." !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Last week on Sicily I could not leave out a short run on the old Circuito Piccolo delle Madonie, better known as the (public) route they (most of the time) used for the infamous Targa Florio. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
