This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.

A Brief Encounter with a Spyker
Hi folks -- yesterday I stopped by Just Saab near my home and took a few photos of a Spyker that was on display. Sticker price over 230k, although my friend Kirby tells m that they offered one to him at a discounted price of around 175k last year. An interesting car, but I don't think I would take it over a Ferrari.
Spyker now is the parent company of Saab, and thus the dealership was using this showing as a way to generate interest and develop showroom traffic in their main product which has come back from the dead. Thank God GM no longer has its paws on the Saab brand!
