This is a public service announcement for all single ladies in the Washington D.C. Metro Area.If you frequent Proof or any other fine bar or restaurant in the Gallery Place/Chinatown/Penn Quarter area, be on the lookout for the middle aged male owner of this orange 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5:He may have good game and even a little charm, but if you take a closer look at his license plate, probably not:

It's not often a car hits 100,000 miles. Yesterday, my 1978 BMW 530i (e12) did. Considering the car's age and the fact that it underwent a restoration 15 years ago, I highly doubt the accuracy of the odometer. Nevertheless, it is cause for recognition.

Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn is most famous for his 59 wins as a pitcher for the Providence Grays in 1884. But perhaps Mr. Radbourn's most impressive feat may have been in this 1886 Boston Grays team photo (Radbourn is on the far left in the top row):What's the big deal you ask? Try looking a little closer...Some believe that Radbourn may be the first recorded person to flip off the camera in a

The colorful and crazy Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was a legend of the 1950s hot rod car culture in Southern California. Although his heyday was WAY before my time, I found a copy of his autobiography in an outlet bookstore when I was a kid and was fascinated by his story (not the least of which was his conversion to Mormonism and subsequent move to Utah where his wife still lives). While his cars and

If you're male and a Phillies fan you have a man-crush on Chase Utley. You can try to deny it but you're only fooling yourself.“Dear Chase, I feel like I can call you ‘Chase’ because you and me are so much alike. I would love to meet you some day. It would be great to have a catch. I know I can’t throw as fast as you, but I think you would be impressed with my speed. I love your hair. You run

I've never been a big fan of SUVs. Its not really because they're big and get bad gas mileage. I've just never understood been a fan of the poseur image most of them attempt to portray. So you have a four-wheel drive Lexus? Congrats. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but its no different than the family station wagon or minivan your parents drove you around in.

A few days ago I was reading a Sports Illustrated story on Roy Halladay and it mentioned the Phillies new ace is a "non-practicing" Mormon. I remembered hearing that in the past but had forgotten. So I headed over to every Mormon's guilty pleasure and source of self-validation, Famousmormons.net just to be sure. While on the site, I found this ad for Knockaround sunglasses:If you aren't familiar

Sam Smith at Jalopnik recently shared some memories of the BMW 5-Series. I found his take on the E12 interesting and can't argue with his reasoning as to why he didn't buy one. Perhaps some M racing stripes and some lovely BBS's would have changed his mind. I know I'm biased, but I do find the E12 the most beautiful of the bunch, followed closely by the E39. I'm not sure what to think of the

Even though I was only five days old, I enjoyed a #1 Combo at Flame Kabob in Fairfax, Virginia consisting of a boneless chicken and lamb kabob, chickpeas, a salad, and bread, topped off with a Diet Coke. I don't remember that day, but I must have had quite the appetite and some pretty big chompers in order to put it all down.

There was a time when seeing a Hummer H1 on the street was an intriguing novelty and even a rare treat. Then came the H2 - a symbol of excess and waste that defined the last decade. Every athlete, actor, rock star, rapper, and wannabe was rollin' on 24's. The H2 was the reason I stopped watching Cribs for crying out loud!

As some of you already know, I recently bought a 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 off ebay and flew down to Dallas to drive it home. The impetus of it all was this video I saw posted on Bulgogi Brothers a month ago. I sold my MINI in August of last year and purchased a 1978 BMW 530i but I've missed it ever since. While I love the Bimmer, I missed the lightweight and nimble driving of the MINI and since I

I often come across pictures of great cars on some of the great sites I visit regularly (like Bulgogi Brothers and A Time to Get). So in order to keep an archive of my own, I've decided to post them here whenever I do. The first is this r56 MINI Cooper S on Porshe 944 wheels. It's a perfect look!Of course, it got me wondering what a MINI would look like on BBS Style 5's (the wheels on my Bimmer).

I love the Dos Equis commercials. I saw one last week that especially made me laugh. Surprisingly, I couldn't find it on Youtube but it included these classics:"He wouldn't be afraid to show his feminine side, if he had one...""His mother has a tattoo that reads, Son."Another favorite of mine from a different commercial:"His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body..."He

If there's one thing that hasn't changed about Hollywood over the years, its an over abundance of young, rich, narcissistic tools with too much time and money on their hands. I've been there twice and concluded its the douchebag capital of the World. It's especially frustrating when I see a guy who has an amazing car but he doesn't really appreciate it because he just bought it for the image. Yes

Last summer I sold my beloved MINI Cooper and purchased a vintage 1978 BMW 530i. Buying the Bimmer was a purely emotional purchase. It was love at first sight and I because I had to have it I overpaid for it (I tend to do this with women too, but that's a story for another time). As the excitement wore off and realities of owning an old car set in, I started regretting my decision and due to a

Even though I love many of the amazing exotic cars of both the past and present, I appreciate simplicity. A light car with a manual transmission and just the right balance of handling and power. The Porsche Cayman fills those requirements perfectly at a fraction of the cost of its flashier and more powerful rivals. It has understated styling that is undeniably Porsche. And while it doesn't have

Although it was under difficult circumstances, going back to Utah twice in the last month was an opportunity to reminisce and return to my roots - so to speak. I've often had a love/hate relationship with Utah(although lately it has been more love). No matter where I go in life, Utah, especially Springville will always be a significant part of who I am. My family has called Utah County home since

There is a house on Center Street. Lamar and Carol Clark moved in with their young family over 50 years ago. He worked hard at a steel mill. The wages weren’t much but they got by. Seven children called that house home. Eighteen grandchildren did too - and their children. Throughout most of their lives, no matter what changed, one thing remained constant – that house on Center Street.It isn

It just might be the perfect affordable summer car. Maybe, just maybe. Kudos if you can tell what it is without cheating!

I came across this picture of my Dad's 1969 Ford Mustang while going through some old family photo albums the other day. It reminded me that this car is responsible for my love of driving and almost all things car-related. Even little kids can spot a good car when they see it. When I owned my MINI Cooper, I would often see children smiling and pointing at my car from passing SUVs and Minivans.

These pictures were released by BMW to promote the recent launch of the new 5-Series. Visually, the evolution of the model over six generations is dramatic. I've only driven the first generation (e12), but there are only a couple other 5-Series built over the span of the last 35 years or so that I'd rather own than my 1978 530i (e39 M5 please!). The technology and creature comforts found in new

There is a Family Inns of America near our family's frequent vacation spot, Williamsburg, VA. It is straight out of the 70s with alternating yellow and orange doors. The place has become somewhat of a family joke and we always tease each other that the next time we come to Williamsburg we will be staying there. I randomly came across this photo several months back. I love it not just because it

by Matt Hardigree posted on Jalopnik.comToday's sports cars make 100 MPH feel like you're standing still. Boring. It's much more fun to edge towards the century mark in a car that makes you feel like you're about to die.I've driven an Audi R8 prototype through Manhattan traffic and can therefore confirm the following automotive maxim: "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow."
