Unfortunately this is only a concept vehicle so far, but Toyota has a 400 HP hybrid car under development with a projected price at around 35K. I wish they still had the amazing MKIV Supra (which is still my “realistic dream car” that I will get around to owning someday…), but this would do [...]

Today is pretty much the wrong weather for my Datsun 280Z here in Colorado, but it made Autoblog’s Readers Ride of the Day! Judging by the comments, there are plenty of people who also still love the old Z’s too.
I haven’t much touched the car since I bought it other than typical old [...]
Now That’s Frigging Fast!
03Nov05I was just checking-up on an old hobby of mine and saw that John Shepard has went down into the 7 second range in the 1/4 mile. This is absolutely insane, especially considering it’s just 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine, the car is still registered and insured to be driven on the street, has [...]
SUV “Spy Photos”
09Sep05Yeah, I’m already back from the mountains. It kept raining, sitting around in a hotel room is boring, and I lost the desire to do any more hiking after getting stuck on the side of a mountain at timberline during a thundermonsoon. Luckily I had all of the right stuff with me (including [...]
The 2006 / 2007 Shelby GT500
26Mar05As someone who’s lost faith in domestic auto brands in the past 8 years or so, I’m very impressed with the new Ford Mustang. Even better, the new Shelby GT500 is just frigging awesome. I’ll take two please! Here’s hoping it includes an independent rear suspension and doesn’t have a live axle [...]
Besitzen Fahrvergnügen
07Oct04Well, not quite yet, but the plan is to go pick-up my “new” 2003 Volkswagen GTI 1.8T 5 speed on Monday. I found a 2003 model with only 8,600 miles on it, with all of the options I was looking to get. Originally I had planned to buy something a bit older than [...]
Car Hunting Sucks
30Sep04Well, I took the day off of work to go look at cars, and it’s been rather unproductive. Basically all of the cars I wanted to check out had major flaws in one way or another which I did not want to deal with. I mean what kind of person trashes a new [...]
Supercars Are The Hotness
17May04Yesterday I went to my friend E’s for her graduation from her first round of many years of schooling as she’s working towards being a doctor. One of her friends who owns an AMG Benz was there (I wish for the life of me I knew what the model was), and we got to [...]
Back In The 80031
11May04I’m finally back. Doesn’t it always feel a little strange to be home after having a completely different life for a couple of days?
Overall, everything went really well. I flew out to Sacramento on an 8:40 AM flight on Saturday, May 8th which arrived there at a bit after 10 AM, and got [...]
Goin’ Back to Cali’
28Apr04The current owner of the 280Z called me back the other day, and said he had changed his mind again and wanted to sell the car. We struck a deal, and today I sent him a deposit on the car.
