There it was, staring at me in all its Lime Gold glory. Sparkling and ready for a ride down Woodward Avenue, the 67' Shelby Cobra GT500 was spectacular. The color, not loved by all but admired by yours truly, brought out the carefully conceived design lines of the past that quicken the hearts of muscle... Continue Reading →
Most of the time the ones we love deeply are a product of chance. We are born into families by no will of our own and make deep seeded bonds naturally through the vast amount of time we spend together and care we give. Other lifetime loves come by choice. A moment in time, an... Continue Reading →

To muscle or not to muscle...that is the question. Most shoppers look for practicality, space for the kids and their stuff, and/or super-sized mpg when debating their next car purchase.
