Right from the pilot, Supernatural has been extremely … More Cars & TV – “Supernatural”
After cars, my affection goes straight to good TV shows. I was practically raised by the tube and I still watch a very long list of all kinds of shows. Now, it’s a beautiful thing when a great series has an equally great car on it and I’m not the only one loving the car … More Cars & TV – “Life”
The North American version of the tremendously popular and influential Top Gear it’s well on its way to a third season I believe.

One of my favorite hobbies as a publicly assumed car addict is pretend shopping. It’s easy and if you’re anything like me it will keep you busy and semi-happily daydreaming for hours, away from pesky day-to-day punishments like work or studying.

They say beauty is in the eye of the … More 70’s Sports Cars Icons – Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Ferrari Daytona and Iso Grifo Can Am

Well, huge actually. But anyway, I feel confident in my … More Great Cars for Under 20 Grand – Mercedes Benz E500, BMW M3 (e46) and BMW M5 (e39)
Lately I’ve noticed that a lot of you get to Automotive Views looking for classic AMG stuff. That’s not surprising me one bit because these cars have a massive esthetic appeal and their low production numbers make them very rare, a perfect combination. The pedigree is as good as it gets: a solid Mercedes foundation … More Start off Great and Keep Getting Greater – The 500E and the E60 AMG
The 1970’s were a time of great contrasts within the auto industry. On one side there was the dreaded oil crisis – borderline lethal for American muscle – a huge blow for many automakers and on the other, great risks were taken; concept cars were created with looks that seemed to come straight from sci … More In the Shadow of the Colossus – The Espada and the Jarama
We all know that there is a special bit of heaven reserved for Hans Aufrecht and Heberhard Melcher because what these gentlemen created is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most valuable legacies in the automotive world, three letters that are worth a thousand of words: AMG.
