One horsepower is 33,000 foot pounds per minute or work done/time We call it horsepower because James Watt, inventor of a new type of steam engine, wanted to relate to customers how powerful his engines were. He wanted to say the engines could replace 2 or 3 of their horses. The most popular theory about [read more]

There’s a Viagra commercial that features a man washing his Corvette while his wife is sitting in a lawn chair reading. She decides it’s time for nookie NOW and gives him a Smoldering Look and walks inside. The man wants to follow her, but has a dilemma: His Corvette is covered in soap suds. Whatever [read more]

I sold the Audi yesterday. I owned Pig (so named because of her massive weight) for almost 4 years and I think I put more miles on her than any other car I’ve owned including my Mustang, which I owned for 10 years. Kind of sad to see her go, but I found a buyer [read more]

The Corpus Christi Corvette Club is going to attempt a world record for number of Corvettes on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. The chosen carrier is the USS Lexington, located in Corpus Christi, Texas. They don’t mention if there’s already a world record, nor do they say if Guiness will actually be there [read more]
I posted my Audi for sale on this blog and on the local Craigslist. A few days later I received a call on my answering machine from someone named Allen saying he had a buyer for my car. My car is a bit unique so that piqued my interest. It also sounded too good to [read more]

I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to writing a full review of the Lexus RX350, so here is sort of a capsule review. Of all the SUVs I’ve tested I’d say exterior wise the Lexus is the best looking, in a cute sort of way. The interior, however, is one of my least [read more]
