by Wallace Wyss – As a car artist, I attend many car events but this is one of the best in SoCal (the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance), largely by the jewel-like setting–on a grass field overlooking the Pacific.

by Wallace Wyss – If electric cars pretty much take over American roads by 2030, ICE (internal combustion engine) cars will be no doubt relegated to a lower status. Or even outlawed as Enemies of the State. Here’s why-the electric cars will have the capability of communicating with each other…a Tesla in 2028 speeds up…the […] The post Editorial: Gas Powered Cars – An Enemy of the State? appeared first on MyCarQuest.com ..read more

…well, not really. by Mike Gulett – Disappointment can come at unexpected times and from surprising sources.
