Why I drive. It’s an interesting thought to ponder, don’t you think? Not the basic, obvious answer of why I drive—like, to get places—but more specifically why I drive a vehicle that requires thought to drive.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON INTERN: Emma Ogiemwanye
FIND YOUR FREEDOM Long Beach, CA – Life in the present often escapes us, thanks to cell phones, television, and the constant stimulus of our daily lives.

Lesley and Twiggy, her 1964 Thunderbird
According to a PBS documentary, 1964 was the most pivotal year of the 60s, a year that set the stage for political and societal splits that we still feel today.

Bondorella’s Big Adventure
November 3rd, 2016 – Most of you out there have seen Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, right? If not, seriously, what are you waiting for?? Shockingly, my hubby falls into that latter category. I know, I know… he’s weird. Anyway, if you’re amongst the NORMAL people out there, you’ll remember the scene where Pee Wee visits the…
Babes Ride Out 4
October 23, 2016 – It’s true. I like nice people, and nice people who love classic cars and motorcycles? EVEN BETTER, which is part of what makes Babes Ride Out such a perfect event. In addition to a gazillion girls on motorcycles (okay, okay… more like 1600), there were tons of girls in…
