Among the new bumper crop of vehicles out in the market, there are certain features that people would love to change among them. But if there are two cars which have the least number of attributes that potential car buyers would change, two familiar brands popped out above the rest. The two car brands are Porsche and Ford which topped the 2009 Ideal Vehicle Awards (IVA).

Lowbrow art wanted

I am currently drumming up artists interested in showing pieces in a lowbrow collaborative art exhibition. What is lowbrow?

Drive away with Hitler’s Auto Union D-Type race car for £5.5m

Posted on 06.29.2009 14:23 by kirbygarlitos Filed under: Audi | car racing | classic cars | Germany Here's something that might be worth picking up at an auction – that is if you have at least £5.5 million in your pockets.

Stuff I read. . .Part 1

I've always made it a point to read weird, surprising, off-the-wall stuff of various sorts. Possibly my way of thinking has been shaped by my recreational reading. When I served as a pastor, I subscribed to Rolling Stone (a few church leaders couldn't understand that one!). What follows are examples of some of the journals that I read on a regular basis. I've always been interested, no, not strong enough; I've always been fascinated by custom cars, you know, hot rods. So, I read
