One of the most enjoyable cars I’ve ever owned is the BMW E30 325iS. That 170hp 2.5 liter straight six is smoother than butter. It’s New York Deli whipped cream cheese smooth, and it loves to rev. It’s a car that way too many car enthusiasts abandon in pursuit of […]

Looking over the hood of my Alpine White 944 at a brisk, but leisurely pace on the morning’s coffee run brings back great memories. The 944 is by far the slowest car in my collection of five Porsches, yet it is the most tactile, most mechanical, and most engaging in […]
