The Pirelli World Challenge sports car racing series had its season opener at Circuit of the Americas at the beginning of March, and your faithful motorsports reporter was there for the Saturday race! (I had plans for Sunday.) I may have mentioned before that I love Pirelli World Challenge, but let me recap: I love […]

Cars and Coffee Austin – February 8, 2015
posted by Motorista
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.

Cars and Coffee Austin – August 10, 2014
posted by Motorista
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 […]

While researching my recent Tesla post, I came across an article in the L.A. Times that listed L.A.’s top ten cars and trucks by gender. I didn’t have to read past the title to know that I would be disappointed. And, sure enough, I was. The lists are based on data from Edmunds, which pulled […]

Encounter with Godzilla
posted by Motorista
I have met Godzilla and lived to tell the tale. “Godzilla” is the fond nickname bestowed on the Nissan GT-R by the automotive press. I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact that this hunk of sheetmetal is a Japanese monster. Long a desirable supercar in Japan and famous on these shores for […]
