The 2015 Grand National Roadster Show award for the baddest ride on the planet this year goes to Larry Olsen for his 1933 Ford Roadster. Held each year at the Pomona Fairgrounds, it's hard to imagine picking a winner as some cars are the prior year of hard work and others are years of automotive passion!

Burt Reynolds Personal "Bandit" Trans Am sells for $480,000.00 at auction - Actor, Burt Reynolds, sold his personal Trans Am at Julien's Auction in Las Vegas. Reynolds once commanded box office power like no other in his day, but rumors of financial troubles or downsizing has caused him to relinquish many of his prize memorabilia. As the price of the 70's iconic Pontiac Trans Am have risen in recent years, a little south of a half a million seem a tad steep to me. Yet, it would be cool to have in my garage! It was his daily driver, so maybe I could go fetch some Maine lobsters for Paul Williams? Bandit fans will know what I mean.

2014 LA Auto Show - To sum up the 2014 LA Auto Show -- Baby Utes, Alternative Fuel and Sporty Flare! LA is the home of the car culture, so no wonder the manufacturers choose the November auto show to show-off the like of the Mini Cooper Superleggera, VW GTI, and the Lexus LF-C2. Small cross-over SUV's seemed to be all the rage as the OEM's chase the CAFE Standards and younger buyers. On the flip side of that, horsepower is still on the rise long with hydrogen powered cars of the future. From Green to Mean, LA Auto Show has something for the car side of you!
