Yearly Archives: 2013


I’ve found my readership keeps expanding and expanding, and now, a lot of you are not fellow enthusiasts but just acquaintances and friends of all sorts. I use lots of specific vocabulary, and even some words that somehow have become only my own over the past years. Here is your guide to navigating, if your dictionary fails you. [QR]GaraGe – […]

QR Vocabulary


This is making it’s way around the web… as well it should. Coming to the auto-scene from downhill cycling, this kind of thing is what I fantasize about when drinking alone in the barn.

David’s been reading here since the beginning, and this small chunk he put together for Road & Track is great encouragement. It’s amazing how much of my history has stuck with him.  Road & Track for their part, has done very well to evolve into more than just a car magazine.  Their website features content far more diverse than the paper […]

I’ve already heard some derogatory comments, but I think it’s awesome. Someone called them Corolla wheels, which is basically the greatest compliment ever. The car looks very stock… but I dig it a lot. It’s a 4×4 and I love dropping wheels into ditches. The Bilsteins are a little more softly valved than I would like for asphalt, but still […]
