As of 31st October 2010, the Pontiac arm of General Motors has ceased to exist. I’m gonna say outright that I don’t like American cars very much, but when it comes to good ol’ American muscle, any car nut would go weak in the knees. The trademark split grille of Pontiac adorned the front of [...]

Photography… is more than snapping a photo and doing some post-processing. I am no expert myself, merely on a journey, exploring and gaining more knowledge as I go. This fellow here, though, takes some awesome shots. More than that, his photos don’t merely convey subject matter, but tell a story, or invoke lusty emotions. Randy [...]

So I was talking to my car the other day (No, I’m serious) and thinking about what I wanted her to be when she grew up. – Then a friend came along and posted this: Holy mother of god, that’s how I want her to be. – Brendan

CAR LIFE >>> ONE LAST DANCE, RED

Before I handed the keys to Red over to her next owner, whom I know will take good care of her, she and I had some private time. I have mixed feelings when I recall the day I handed her over. On the one hand, I wanted very much to own a different car, and [...]

A chance encounter between two cars of similar heritage, but different times. One bristles with bulk and muscle, skin glistening with an air of sheer purpose. An awry stare greets onlookers as her mighty heart burbles menacingly. The other, by contrast, breathes lightly as her weak heart awaits a new lease of life; her body [...]
