When a mustang shows up in your driveway, you know it’s going to be a good week. A 2018 Mustang in ‘Orange Fury’ makes for an excellent week! My favorite thing about the Mustang? The growl. That low rumble that you feel, whether you are passing other vehicles or simply taking off at a red […]
Keeping Veloster Quirky
I love that Hyundai chose Austin, Texas to launch the second generation of their hot little hatch, the Veloster. While driving the car throughout the hill country, Hyundai gave us a hashtag to use, ‘Keep Veloster Quirky,’ and since as Texans, we ‘Keep Austin Weird,’ I thought the two went hand in hand.

Ford Raptor~For the Kid in All of Us
I won’t soon forget my first ride as a passenger in the Raptor. We were at our annual Truck Rodeo and Ford brought along a driver to give passengers a thrill in the truck doing laps across an empty field. This field became the driver’s racetrack and I am pretty sure we were sailing through […]
‘My Greatest Find’~Jeep Cherokee Limited 4×4
