A brand new 2020 model Q50 in a beautiful pearl white paint job sat in the company’s section of floor at the LA Auto Show. Infiniti turns 30 this year, and to celebrate, they…

Radwood went down at the second annual HooptieCon this past weekend. It was a wet, sloppy, cold, wonderful mess of some of the most hardcore automotive enthusiasts out there. Located atop turn 7 at Sonoma Raceway, during the 24 Hours of LeMons Sears Pointless race, the show was a hodgepodge of 80’s and 90’s automotive…

A rare dusting of snow dots the hills of Monterey County. And with it those hills are alive with the sound of IndyCar. An unofficial test session was coordinated by all teams minus the new-for-2019 Harding-Steinbrenner Racing crew.
