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.

Too much Car? Dodge Challenger SRT® Demon is now coming to Dealers
The 800+ muscle car is now coming to dealers! Made in Brampton, Ontario, more than 3000 of these cars will now be up for sale. 0-60 m.p.h. is less than 3 seconds. The fastest car around. If you want to live The Fast & Furious, this is your vehicle.
But is it a responsible product to sell to the public? Given its performance, is it just simply too much a rolling coffin? How many people will kill themselves in this motor car? At $84k, I can think of better ways to spend my money.
How about collateral damage? I don't want to get in the way of this flying missle.
Has the Golden Age of the automobile just run its course, and this cr does not have a place on public roads?
