Ferrari 70 Years, One Hell of an Anniversary Gift

by Ruby Rae Scalera | Jan 29, 2018

The history of Ferrari bears resemblance to the history of all things Italian. It is bedecked in drama, shadowed by failure and setback, borne from passion, romance, and impossible dreams. In his new release, Ferrari 70 Years, Dennis Adler understands all that and so much more.

Santa Baby, a ’54 Convertible Too, Light Blue

by Ruby Rae Scalera | Dec 28, 2017

From the vintage stylings of classically dressed men and women exiting their glamorous Lincolns and Cadillacs to attend fancy holiday parties, to the kitchy Santas jumping into Corvettes, to the family wagons carrying pre-lit Christmas trees, and even to today’s Happy Honda Days and Toyotathon, Christmas automotive advertising is ubiquitous, recognizable and very, very necessary.

NASCAR’s Imperfect Perfection

by Bob Marlow | Nov 22, 2017

With his championship, Truex gave NASCAR a few gifts: A popular young champion with a backstory full of unfailing determination in the face of professional and personal challenges, and a deserving champion who would have been the titleist even under the old, pre-“playoff” points system.

My Top Five Shows of the Season

by Ruby Rae Scalera | Oct 26, 2017

For all intents and purposes, the car show season is dwindling down on the east coast. Of course, it’s still warm enough to be summer here, but since most car shows are planned months in advance, there are few still coming up.

by Ruby Rae Scalera | Oct 16, 2017

You’ve got to give these guys credit. Despite a first year event drenched by a late October deluge, the combined efforts of Dan’s Papers and the Bridgehampton Museum came up to bat again, with this year’s Bridgehampton Road Rally and Tour D’Hamptons.

Of course, it was a fantastic event.

Serving Time in the Car Business

by Chris Coffin | Sep 16, 2017

I spent the last four years in the car business as a sales consultant in two different dealerships; an economy brand, and a luxury brand. I wasn’t particularly good at it, but it was a valuable experience and I learned a lot.

Tucker: The Man and His Dream

by Ruby Rae Scalera | Sep 11, 2017

I find it so interesting that this film is nowhere to be found. If Tucker were operating in today’s day and age, like Elon Musk or Christian Von Koenigsegg, the story would have been different.

Won’t Come Back From Dead Man’s Curve (Because You’ll Want to Stay All Year)

by Ruby Rae Scalera | Sep 4, 2017

But, in the world of racing and classic cars, boldness and aggression often pay off, and this year’s Dead Man’s Curve Car Show, hosted at the Mahwah Sheraton this past weekend, certainly did. Without a doubt, the event this year surpassed all the iterations that had come before and played a true and dangerous competitor to Lead East.

Test Track Tease at Disney

by Ruby Rae Scalera | Aug 11, 2017

Too much time was spent on the aerodynamic lines and tire choices and engine configuration, and at the end of our 120 seconds, we had an orange Dune Buggy meets Subaru meets 1920s Bugatti looking monstrosity in bright orange.

Should the Manuals be Saved?

by Bob Marlow | Jul 11, 2017
