My friend took this picture the other day & sent it to me.  It’s kinda funny actually, but I think mostly he’s jealous since he has a Camaro

I did an interview this morning with a reporter from our local paper here in Annapolis about the Ultimate Blogger contest & my entry.  She asked about how the contest works, why I’m competing, what makes me qualified and a whole bunch of other details.  It’s expected to be published this coming Monday, and obviously …

Bernie Ecclestone proposed in an interview last week that Formula One should add “artificial rain” to Grand Prix races to make them more exciting.  He claimed that this would encourage overtaking because it would force drivers to deviate from the standard fastest dry track line, and said that the most exciting racing takes place in …

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been an entrant in a competition called the Ultimate Blogger.  When I submitted my entry & started promoting it, I figured I’d get a respectable number of votes, but it would be a ludicrous understatement to say that about what’s actually happened.  Within a couple of days I’d …

My friend sent me a link to a Flash-based scenario simulator that designs a “car” based on genetic mutation. If that sentence just made your head spin, allow me to explain.  Using an algorithm and some graphics to show the results, the Flash application builds a car using a series of geometric shapes & a …

I ought to just make a whole new category on this site for Top Gear, given my apparent obsession with the world’s finest TV motoring program.  I try to refrain from posting stuff up about the show every time I see a good episode, because frankly that would mean a weekly post about it.  This …

I was recently watching an episode of Top Gear that happened to have a feature comparing the E90 M3 to the Lexus IS-F.  In it, Jeremy Clarkson says a few different times that the M3 is the best sports saloon in the world.  Ok, BMW people (and others too, if they’re honest) know this already …

A new service has shown up online geared entirely towards license plates – or rather, the cars & drivers to whom they belong.  The basic premise is that people ought to be able to connect with fellow drivers/human beings through something unique & universally understood: the license plate on our car.  BUMP is trying to …
