Automotive photographer Dave May and I are working on a new format for bringing visitors into the driver’s seat of the vehicles that fascinate us. That format is video, and we think it has promising potential for sharing our experiences.

There probably aren’t too many Cigarette Racing boat owners driving around in Camrys and Odysseys. High-performance off-shore powerboats aren’t for regular folks. No, they’re the toys of wealthy adrenaline junkies, people that buy cars like the 510-horsepower Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series. That’s the special Black Series version of the already-special AMG version of the C-Class coupe. At $105,000, the […]

Today Dave May and I had the good fortune to drive and shoot two vintage Ferraris, both 1972 models. An article and a series of photographs are coming soon. Meanwhile, here’s Dave snapping a shot of the 365 GTB/4 with its headlamps up. What a day!

I have spotted two more Pilot-house Dodge pickups within a mile of the green B3. Here’s one of them, parked at a garage in East Atlanta Village.

In contrast to the giant V16 I spotted last week, I’d like to share a V12 from the opposite  extreme of the size spectrum. Thanks cousin Phil @phillipdmartin for the lead on this!

Even my three-year-olds enjoyed watching people and robots build the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Volkswagen has a gallery of Type 181 photos recently posted on their media site, including the ones below. Children of the sixties and seventies may remember the Type 181 as The Thing. My high school classmates may recall that funny looking yellow car I drove back in the day. Oddly for inland suburban Atlanta, two of my classmates had Type […]
