Nowhere Isn’t Always Just a Place. Sometimes, It’s a Moment in Time Too (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a rotating planet orbiting a small star, amid a swirling galaxy swimming in a universe with trillions of galaxies, the difference between somewhere and nowhere is about perspective. This story originally appeared in Volume 37 of Road & Track. For the car obsessed, the promise of the perfect nowhere is nirvana. A nowhere without neighbors who complain about noise. A nebulous realm with roads that don’t head anywhere in particular but are curvy, scenic, and barely patrolled. A wilderness where
Test Drive: The $1.17 Million Brabus Bodo Wants to Go Beyond Luxury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Luxury” is an abused term these days, added as a suffix to everything from fleapit apartments to infant diapers to make them seem more desirable. It often seems the word is losing its luster. If everything is a luxury brand, is anything a luxury brand? Brabus is a familiar name for gearheads, but the German tuner has been taking a different direction in recent years, moving away from exclusively working with Mercedes products to create models based on other automakers’ architectures.

Read excerpt
Before I loved cars, I loved Hot Wheels. In 1968, I was six years old and a prime target for Mattel’s launch of its toy cars. All the Saturday morning cartoon shows had commercials for them.

It's around here somewhere. More about my obsessive

Read excerpt
Once again, the state of California has survived Monterey Car Week. While the formal event may be constrained to the Monterey Peninsula at the top of the Central Coast, it starts on the roads that lead to it and ends on the roads after it. That covers the whole state. As I constantly mention, I live in Santa Barbara. We're about 240 miles south of Monterey, and the 101 freeway that goes through here is the direct route to Car Week from Southern California. Last Wednesday and Thursday, the northb
Acura's Nexera Concept Forecasts What Comes Next for Honda’s Luxury Brand (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Acura was truly novel when it launched in 1986—an upscale brand from a Japanese manufacturer. Honda had beaten both Toyota and Nissan to the punch by about four years. And the two cars that launched Acura—the small Integra and the bigger Legend—were recognizably premium products. The Integra was a classier Civic with a snazzy twin-cam, 16-valve engine, and the Legend was a large sedan with a V-6 so creamy -smooth it could have been lubricated with cholesterol. Acura was distinctive, instantly as
