    Times are interesting right now in international (and regional) motorsport. With a somewhat rebounding international economy, we are seeing some of the biggest grids ever, there is almost unprecidented manufacturer involvement, and a lot of series are getting a lot of attention. There are a few series, like the SCCA’s Trans-American Challenge that are working…

    Have you ever seen that episode of Seinfeld where George leaves his hat behind at a girls apartment so he’ll have a reason to come back? You know, the one where he says his own last name to the tune of the “by Mennen” jingle on his way out the door (COS-tanza!) as an earworm…

    The other day I stopped in to the quick-mart fuel-stop to grab a morning cup of joe, and this big Grand Touring Supra Turbo woke me up more than any caffeine ever could. As the resident MKIII Supra enthusiast, I must say I was delightfully impressed by this one. I have a couple of these…

    Didn’t we just have a major endurance race? Something, something, Daytona 24, something, something? Yeah, we did. Get used to it, because there are a whole lot more endurance races coming at you this season, and this weekend is one of my absolute favorites; The Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour. Last year’s race was so insane that…

    Every once in a while, there are benefits to being on the e-mail list of aftermarket parts supply companies. In my case, I joined the mailing list of 034 Motorsport a couple of years ago when I purchased a coil-pack update kit from them for my I5 Turbo Audi S6. After enduring their advertisements for…

    Question for you: What’s 3 inches tall, and pisses me off? That’s right, the answer is speed bumps. Now, don’t get things twisted, I’m not one of those Volkswagen kids with crazy camber, zero suspension travel, and frequently cracked oil pans. I am a responsible adult that enjoys driving sporty cars. My daily driver is…

    With the 24 Hours of Daytona coming up this weekend, Eric Rood and I decided to sit down and have a recorded conversation about this absolutely stacked field of talent for this race. It worked well for our 25 Hours of Thunderhill preview last year, so why not do it again? Every single class has depth, and…

    An eighties 1 liter 3-cylinder hot-hatch on a set of genuine panasport wheels. For personal travel around San Francisco, can it get any better than this? I recently took a weekend trip to the SF bay with my wife, little brother, and little sister, and while they spent time seeing the touristy stuff like China…

    At the beginning of every year, the auto show I most look forward to rolls around, NAIAS. The North American International Auto Show has long been a favorite of mine, and when I lived in Michigan, I’d go every year. Unfortunately, I don’t live anywhere near the show this year, so I’ll be reporting from…

    I’m not sure what it is about old Toyotas that I like so much, but this MKIII is a project that’s been floating around in my head for about 5 years. I bought a pair of MkIII Toyota Supras for 700 dollars back then, and though my attempts were eventually foiled and one car sold…
