congratulations and welcome, officially, to the cool girls’ table in the business. this was well worth the wait, I love it. <3  Read more

I’ve never written on Jezebel, although I respect their writers!

You can instead find me on basically every automotive blog you’ve ever clicked on. Almost guarantee you’ve read me before if you’ve even looked at a car website in the past two and a half years, lol. Read more

So glad it could help you some, but yeah - there’s a lot of us out here! Cameron Aubernon has been doing this even longer than I have, and Mercedes Streeter and I both started professionally auto-writing around the same time; they’re both lovely and proud women.  Read more

Hey I mean... you know... maybe they’ve reinvented air... who’s to say.... Read more

Honestly I thought it was a cute lil’ car, and certainly average styling for the era. I don’t know how anyone could call it “ugly”, personally. Read more

Thank you so much! I’m just a freelancer though, I’ve been popping in and out of here for a while now; I did weekends for a little while a long time ago, but I committed to freelance writing full time earlier this year which is why I get to do these awesome events and really put the time and passion into them, which Read more

Thank you so much! I am so glad I got to follow them; they saved my ass out there by showing me the best lines and giving me the confidence to follow. They are incredibly talented women, I was so glad I got to meet them!  Read more

Thank you so, so much. Thompson is my guiding light of entertaining and incredible reporting and writing; I am glad I could use his inspiration well!  Read more

I got some photos of them, they were doin’ awesome out there! You should be proud!!

that is my fault! I should have gotten the displacement right. however, 375 HP is 380-ish, rounding. I was intentionally being unexact with those because the point of the review was not stats, but the displacement is my mistake and I apologize for that. I cannot edit my own stories after the fact, but I would if I Read more

The 345/350 mistake is one I am admittedly ashamed of lolol, I should have caught that before sending this to publication. But thank you so much - as a kid that grew up on classic Top Gear and old Road and Track and Automobile stories, the ones that stood out the most to me were stories that barely were about cars - Read more

the speedo only works in 20 mph increments with very poor demarcation.  Read more

Aww thank you! Yeah I still try to pitch here as often as I can, I just hadn’t had much to offer recently until the trip started again.  Read more

this is an extremely good point and honestly, as escapism, it works well, and it *is* genuinely accessible. Thank you for reading, I am sorry the conclusion didn’t work for you but I appreciate the thoughtful comment and constructive advice! Read more

wow!! thank you so much and thank you for reading! It is truly my pleasure! Read more

I will admit, I have always admired Patrick’s writing, and I love his story on the car. I do *understand* the appeal, but I also think that with just a 5.7, this thing doesn’t offer enough whatsoever, and even he, six years ago, admitted it was already outdated. Time has made it worse. Read more

I have been shocked the ratio is as favorable as it is; I really wanted to tell this story and did my absolute best as I wrote it, but I also kinda figured it would be unpopular, haha.  Read more
