Any good road trip should include a few bridges. Crossing over is an experience we are all familiar with be it by bridge or decisions we make. Once on the path there is nowhere to go but through and hope that the other side is as wonderful as we thought it would be. At the... Continue Reading →
My work with the Keeneland Concours d'Elegance took me to Nashville's Carlock Motorcars last week. As a full sponsor of the July 20, 2019 event in Lexington, Kentucky, Carlock Motorcars was kind enough to do a photo shoot with yours truly.

This year I've traded my usual "red eyed" symptoms for a spin in the 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody and I can't say I'm sorry.
