‘Merica!

[Edited to say: Gah! Apparently, I did this before. Same title and everything!] God bless America. And its cars. Happy Fourth of July! Boy, patriotism makes me thirsty.

Cars and Coffee Austin – February 8, 2015

Okay, enough sad! Let’s get back to happy, aka Cars and Coffee, from two weeks ago. Spyker C8 Spyder McLaren P1 Scenes And then the Italians took over… Thank you for your indulgence. Never look a Camaro directly in the eye. My favorite car there, of course. The SRT Viper racer.

Too busy to talk! But feast your eyes upon these…

Cars and Coffee Austin – August 10, 2014

Ah, Cars and Coffee. The only Sunday of the month where I cheerfully rise “early.” Sunday mornings have been scorchers around here lately, but that’s nothing to a true car fan. Just add a little strategic hydration, and you are good to go. I must say, I get a kick out of all the 20-something […]

Seen in Detroit – Race Cars!

Proof that you can take a car girl off the racetrack, but you can’t take the racetrack out of her heart: hundreds of cars to see in Detroit, and my favorites were still the race cars. Like the new Corvette C7.R. Hot, no? It drives the regular Corvette Stingray up the wall.   Mazda’s 2014 […]

Detroit Auto Show, Day 1

Whew, what a day! I spent nine hours on my feet, combing all the stands at Cobo Hall. I should have an article up on the Jean Knows Cars website early tomorrow, and will post the link as soon as I have it! In the meantime, it is safe to assume there will be lots […]

Because, Mustang

Something wicked this way comes. While I was off doing REAL work and neglecting you, dear readers, Ford had a minor press event: a four-continent, six-city global launch of the next-generation Mustang.  The new, redesigned Mustang goes on sale in early 2015, and boy is it a looker!  (Click here for a photo gallery). Less […]

The Next Generation

I have created a monster, and he is my nephew. Meet Wesley. Wesley knows more about cars than you do. He probably knows more about cars than I do. Wesley is 10 years old. All I remember doing is giving him and his brother, Tim (also a car fan), some Top Gear DVDs. And maybe […]

Motorista Meets the F-150

I admit it – trucks have never been my thing.  I appreciate their utility and, having grown up in small-town Texas surrounded by ranch land and dairy farms, I understand how essential they are to many people.  But I have never seen them as anything more than an appliance.  My dad owns a 2003 Ford […]
