A few years ago, in a Facebook Group called Track Midwest, a post was written that echoed loudly around the community. "If you don't run sub 1:40, you shouldn't post." It was somewhat harsh, but it had some validity. It was supposed to be directed at the newer guys...

Acura TLX Aspec Review

Acura TLX Aspec Review

First Impression:  WHOA!! Wait?! Could this be?? I have NEVER liked the TLX. At all. In fact - I’ve always been kind of mad at it. Since the TLX’s release, it’s been a pharmaceutical salesman’s company car at best. That’s because someone would only pick the TLX, if...

Toyota Prius Review LOL… but seriously

Be warned that this review is extremely bipolar. That’s because I hated the Prius, right up until I had to turn it back in. Then I missed it. …58 miles per gallon is hard to lose.  The 2017 Toyota Prius gets 58 miles per gallon. Let me repeat that… FIFTY EIGHT miles...

You take luxury, plus sensibility, plus durability. You work them together in equal parts… and you have the 2017 Acura MDX. All the women in my life, from age 3-63, LOVED this car. And although it’s not really ‘my cup of tea’ as a car enthusiast, hypothetically I...

Lexus GS test drive & review

Lexus GS test drive & review

The Lexus GS is a very nice car through & through… but is that enough in 2017? That’s what I can’t figure out. And I just can’t drive the new Lexus GS… without thinking about its lineage. The original concept behind the GS-line, was an edgy sport sedan with some...
