Vol 3: “The One That Got Away”

It’s 1970,  I’ve just graduated and started my new job at a Boston Consultant Engineering Firm.   I have an apartment off Comm Ave in Brighton,  so every day I’m commuting into the office on Stuart Street on the green line.    It’s a nice late summer day and I get off the Trolly a little early […]

Vol. 2: “The One That Got Away”

The company that I was working for was about to go public in the summer of 1995. I had a 1973E Targa about five years before and loved it. But I decided to sell it when we moved near the ocean and had no garage. The (ex) wife wanted a sailboat, so that’s what we […]

The One That Got Away

Here’s another challenge to you, our readers, to recount your experience with the car purchase that got away for you. I’ll kick it off with my own, actually two cars that got away for me. (send your story to the Submissions Team!) The first one was in 1975. We decided to sell our fairly new […]

An Evening with Judy Stropus and Donald Osbourne

Last night we attended a special event at the Audrain Motorsports Club in Newport.    We expect that most people know who Donald Osborne is from his appearances on Jay Leno’s Garage on TV (CNBC) and his appearances with Jay on the Audrain Museum You Tube Channel,   and also at Newport Motorweek and National Classic Car […]

Chase In the Desert!

After a year and a half driving Rob’s 2014 C4S it was time to give the car back. It wasn’t a bad deal for him either as he had my 2015 Turbo S in his garage in Arizona. There was a tire/rim swap to be done between the two cars so it was necessary to […]
