Service Vehicle Hot Rods

Service vehicles are always on my list of fantasy project. I got to do an article on some people who actually did one. Kind of wish I had chosen a better tow truck.

Wasteland Cars

It's almost as cool as being able to go there, I got to pick out some of my favorite Wasteland Weekend cars. I tried to limit myself to cars where I could at least learn a little bit about the builds, but some were just so cool I had to go for it.

British Cars I Love

I know the headline says cars we should buy over Americans, but that was the assignment. These are just some British cars I truly love.

Design Excercises

I've never heard of this guy, but I was given this as an assignment and now I'm a huge fan.

Celebrity Cars at Auction

More or less a list of cars that went for a bunch because of who owned them. And some that didn't go for that much.

Moments in NASCAR

NASCAR has had a colorful history. For this article I tried to not just work on sensational things but some actual significant moments. Plus another chance to use the Sara Christian photo that I love so much. To reiterate, she was in the first NASCAR race with her husband who broke down and took over her car which he also ran into the ground before the end of the race. The photo so much looks like the moment someone is telling her that her husband is taking over her broken car, I kind of love it. Check out the article for the picture.

Cars That Had a Front Row to History

Assigned article, turned out to be super interesting about some of the cars that became associated with history. Also, finally figured out why the assassination of Franz Ferdinand started a world war.

Unfairly Maligned Cars

Alright, this will take some explaining. <-link

I do submit headlines but they are subject to change, I don't make the final decision. I wrote this as alternating between cars that have an undeserved rap and ones that deserve it. The order I wrote it in hasn't changed. The headlines have. So, take what you will out of that. Still a fun article.

Women in Racing

I got to do an article that really means something to me. The history of women in racing is fascinating, I encourage anyone to look up as much as they can.

Here's an article on racing women.

Denise McCluggage, Hellè Nice, Shirley Muldowney, Lyn St. James, Maurie-Claude Beaumont, Michèle Mouton, Pat Moss, and Janet Guthrie...

New Gig

So I found someone to pay me to write things about cars. Crazy pants, right? Who am I even talking to, this thing hasn't updated in forever. But now that I'm doing this thing maybe I'll update this project page more often, maybe as my reject pile for stories that they don't want or don't fit. Or I'll forget again. The only way to know is to check...

Anyway, here's my author page at HotCars.com
