What do Hot Rods, Overhead Valve V-8s, Internal Memos, and a Belgian have in common? They are responsible for the best Hot Rod engine ever made!

Where classic cars once thrived!

The Volunteer State’s rotting history.

A question that deserves an answer!

How it was… is not how it is.

A look down the road

It is a fact that a certain section of the population enjoys old cars. They spend most of their free time, and some of the time they should be working on other things, thinking about, working on, and driving around in old cars. Old cars are noisy, fussy, inefficient, and, if we are honest with ourselves, dangerous.

Vinmotive’s efforts to celebrate Earth Day 2024, started an entire week early. Instead of hitting the treadmill, I hit a local walking trail at a state park. The trip did not disappoint. To my surprise I found two early touring cars rotting in one of Tenessee’s State Parks. Both are in Rock Island State Park on the Collins River Nature Trail.

How Street Rods filled the horsepower void.

One of the things I find most interesting about the kinds of automobiles we feature here is the number of companies looking to make electric cars.

By 1979, when President Carter delivered his infamous Crisis of Confidence Speech, automotive manufactures were a hollowed out shell of what they had been in 1969.

At one time in there were almost 300 companies in the business of making electric automobiles in this country.

The old adage goes that once there was a town with 2 cars, the first race happened.

There's an old saying in the car business that goes something like this: "You can sell an old man a young man's car, but you'll never sell a young man an old mans car."

In an earlier post I made the claim that the automobile changed the very nature of travel changing it from an exercise in communal discovery with implications for the world at large to, well, a meaningless trip and I stand by that statement.

Car shows are a tradition that has been carried on for over 100 years, so get out and enjoy one today.

When I was 17 my daily driver was a 1953 Ford F100 pickup truck. It was a very nice truck, but had two problems, at least in my 17 year old mind.

Six years is how long the much publicized social media platform DriveTribe lasted in the automotive world. Despite a startup capitalization of over $12 million dollars, 10 million active daily users and 140 million monthly users the people in charge of the website could not keep it going.
