About me and my passion for cars

well, my blogs and podcasts (including miniology.com) say a lot about my passion for cars. Really overall I am a car and bike nut, though I gravitate more towards the classics, the microcar and more obscure cars, it has to be something innovative, what I mean is, as nice as the mass-production American muscle cars are, since they are a bit common overall they don't normally hold my interest for long, well you know, unless they are in vintage racing or the car is a really nice example that shows something unique or special. The same can be said of the bulk of Asian import tuners, a dime a dozen out here in the SF Bay Area.. but there are some that really go above and beyond what other people are doing.. I like TV shows such as TopGear, FifthGear, but also more sit on your butt shows like CarCrazy or MyClassicCar if the feeling is right, or silly custom shows like Pimp My Ride or OC Choppers are fun to watch.. I like em all.

My first car

1961 Mercury Comet, it was a red batmobile looking thing and was the police edition. wow that was a fun car. comfortable seating for 12. the trunk held 2 spares and a bicycle.

My dream car

Porsche 356 Speedster
