This is more than the re-birth of a legend. If ever there was a legend in the luxury sports car category, it’s the Mercedes-Benz SL series. It’s the car you imagine yourself zipping along the Pacific Coast Highway in, top down and neck scarf floating in the wind behind you, clinging to the road’s curves…
Piloting the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata in El Niño
Room for two in the Mazda MX-5 – luggage, well, not so much. When I dream of driving in Southern California, I envision a sports car, top down sun shining. Well, we had the Miata convertible, but it was heated seats and windshield wipers for this ride. In fact, it was so cold in Los…
2016 Nissan 370Z Nismo: The thrill of owning the road
Do NOT read this review if you don’t like to have fun driving. If you do, you might decide it’s time. And by fun, I mean feel the thrill behind the wheel as well as when you pull up into a valet, parking lot or driveway and turn heads when you get out of a…
A Faster Horse: Celebration Of Ford Mustang
Ford Mustang film honors the classic – and new – pony car. Very few cars have a movie devoted to them. But then, a Ford Mustang is not like any other car. A Faster Horse is a new documentary showing the design process of the iconic Ford Mustang, from the building of a 3-D clay…
Taking a ride in the 2015 Ford Mustang GT 5.0
What’s it like to be behind the wheel of one of the most iconic cars on the road today? And also, drive a car with 435 horsepower?!? It’s a head-turner, that’s for sure. And an adrenaline pumper. And a lot of fun. This actually happened this week when I was getting gas. Drove the 2016…

Acura’s supercar actually debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in January, but it was half a year away from actually hitting dealerships. In April at the SAE World Congress, the $150,000 sports car was much closer to its…
Lexus RC 350 f – Turning Heads And Taking Names
A sweet ride in the Lexus RC 350 f. I really didn’t know how I’d feel about driving a sports car for a week. I’m not much of a car person to begin with – I like trucks and SUVs. But, my brother in-law assured me I’d like this car and I should give it a…
How to be Popular: Cruise around in a 2014 Mazda Miata MX-5
Sun on your shoulders, hair in the wind, and summer seems to last forever. I hate September. It’s the end of summer, that the party is over, and it’s time to get back to work, back to school, back to the seriousness of life. So I had mixed feelings when I was invited to test…
Nissan 370Z NISMO: A Track-Worthy Sports Car That Gets Your Heart Racing, Too
A Trophy Car For Living The Life. I learned something this week: I’m part of a car cult – the Nissan 370Z cult. I took a trip recently to Austin and San Antonio all by myself: no kids, no husband, just me. As a part of the trip I asked to review a car and…
Sporty Cadillac: Not an Oxymoron
Cadillac delivers luxury AND sportiness. Cadillac is synonomous with luxury sedans, but this summer, the 2 door 2015 Cadillac ATS coupe debuts. This luxury sports car even comes with manual transmission so you can feel the road (there is also an automatic version). The ATS coupe will also have Cadillac’s signature tech flourishes: the…
