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.

Cars and Coffee at the Greene, Beavercreek, Ohio, May 7, 2016: David's MG-TD
Hi folks -- this is the kind of car I like to comment on. Plenty of very expensive, newish cars at the Greene this morning. Not my cup of tea. I like cars that are works-in-progress, largely done by an owner drawing on minimal resources. That is this car. A TD with wire wheels. A car with numerous MGA parts. Nothing glamorous, but very cool. And what in my opinion the car hobby is all about. No pretensions, just an old car put back together with ingenuity.
It was a pleasure to meet you John. I enjoy talking about this car, and discussing all its unique attributes. Thank you for the blog post. Made my day! Dave
