Picking A Car That Evokes That Feeling – Part 4 (BMW M2)

Posted on March 28, 2019March 28, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

Okay, I thought I was done with this series, but then I got a lovely surprise last week. A senior colleague at the office picked-up a 2018 BMW M2 and allowed me the privilege of taking it around the block. A very long block. The ride had its genesis in my long desire to get…

Home Depot Classic Cars

Posted on March 18, 2019March 18, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

Last winter I came home to find two small see-through packages by my door. I’m not sure who left them. I’m guessing one of my neighbors, who knows I have kids and love cars, dropped them off. They are branded Classic Car kits, from Home Depot. This will be the next project. I will do…

Unclogging The Drain To Train

Posted on March 10, 2019March 10, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

I decided today I would tackle two home projects, after putting them off for at least a month. The first, was carpet cleaning. This was long overdue because I hadn’t decided how I wanted to get this cleaning done. Do I pay for cleaners? Do I buy a machine? Do I just rent a machine?…

Picking A Car That Evokes That Feeling – Part 3 (Suburu WRX)

Posted on February 24, 2019March 4, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

On a recent business trip back East I was fortunate enough to have at my disposal, a 2015 Subaru WRX. I’ve always had feelings for the WRX, especially since the 2015 design came on the scene. At first I disliked the design. However, slowly it grew on me. The last WRX I drove was a…

Picking A Car That Evokes That Feeling – Part 2 (VW Golf)

Posted on February 7, 2019March 4, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for German automobiles. I blame my parents. I got my introduction to Volkswagen and Audi at an early age. I didn’t actualize as a kid that VW and Audi were brands under the same company back then, but I did notice that the windows on the…

Using A Skate To Educate (Myself)

Posted on January 27, 2019March 4, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

After weeks of planning, and getting parts, I finally got down to some maintenance of my kid’s roller-blades. This is part of a series of my use of small technical projects, to bolster confidence in tackling large automotive ones. YouTube, common-sense, and a bit of courage have been instrumental on this journey. My desire to…

Power Steering Fluid Transfusion

Posted on January 21, 2019March 4, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

Once again I got the opportunity to assist on an automotive project that I had no experience doing before. I got to help with a power steering fluid transfusion. Power steering is the reason your arms don’t fall of from exhaustion, after doing a three-point turn. Some of you late Gen-Xers and earlier drivers may…

Picking A Car That Evokes That Feeling – Part 1 (BMW 3 Series (E46))

Posted on January 13, 2019March 4, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

When you get enough car experience in life, you viscerally know what cars look good to you and what cars don’t. Then there’s a third category. This is for the cars that just look stunning, to you. A respectable selection from this category may be luxury or even supercars. However, even among those, you’ll find…

Why Do I Want This Car?

Posted on January 6, 2019March 4, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

Happy New Year! Yesterday, I broke my cars-I-can’t-possibly-afford-pre-retirement diet, by watching this video on arguably one of my favorite Porsches this side of 2000. Yes, it’s the mildly, cost-prohibitive 2016 Porsche 911 R. This would be a good time for a 15-minute break. That should give you enough time for this video and the rest of…

My Porsche 959

Posted on December 30, 2018March 4, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

It can be remarkable in life what we lose, what we let go, and what we keep. I got my white, Porsche 959, scale 1/36, in the late 1980s from my mentor, as a gift. Made in Macau, not Stuttgart. I don’t think he had met anyone in his life who loved Porsches more than I…
