The Garage Find Dream: Dusting Off A 1969 Chevelle That’s Been Squirreled Away
We had one as a family car. We traded a 1950 Chevy truck that had been hot-rodded up for it. The truck was a ripper, a four-speed screamer, but it had issues…the least of which were the plywood...

Rough Start “Tour Of Temptation”: 1981 GMC Caballero
The list of cars I actually want to own longer than a few weeks at a time is fairly short, to be honest. I want to sample everything, I want to push cars to the limit, I want to understand the...
Rough Start “Tour Of Temptation”: 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT

Rough Start “Tour Of Temptation”: 1994 Dodge Ram 1500
Out of all of the trucks built since 1990, the 1994-2002 generation of the Dodge Ram is my favorite. When these things came out, they immediately made GM and Ford trucks look dated. The GM trucks had...
Rough Start “Tour Of Temptation”: 1972 Ford Maverick Sprint
Out of all of the vehicles I’ve looked at for the Tour of Temptation, this 1972 Ford Maverick Sprint might be the most palatable, I think. I could’ve easily picked the 1989 Chevrolet...
