At last, Bradley has picked out a car that he actually wants. When he turned 16, I bought him a 1982 Corvette C3 Collector Edition. That was my personal decision driven totally by my vanity. I wanted Bradley to be able to say, “I turned 16 and Dad bought me […]
I just returned from the biannual Oregon Region Porsche Club of America’s NW Passage tour. I spent 1,500 miles switching between a 2024 Porsche 911 with PDK and a 2025 Porsche Macan GTS with the same paddle-shift gearbox. It’s got me thinking about transmissions, and my time owning a 996 […]

I was dropping off the Alfa Romeo Spider S4 at Mac’s Radiator shop to have the A/C compressor replaced. It was a hot day, and I asked about putting A/C in our 1975 Porsche 911S Sportomatic. They quoted me “about $10,000” if it is a factory A/C car with all […]
