He’s got some great stories, and such a great sense of humor. Read more

Well, that’s a tough one. It took everyone by surprise (me included), and I don’t necessarily have a clear understanding of what happened or why. I will continue to cover the Harrison project either via essay or podcast or both, and as the work continues, I hope to get into it more. For now, it’s not the right time to… Read more

I was, too. So was Dave. Probably not my place to say much more about it, but suffice it to say everyone’s glad she’s back involved in this project. Read more

Thank you! I actually wrote a very long piece about the Helms shop/fam/tragedy, published early this year: https://jalopnik.com/how-jenni-helms-survived-tragedy-to-stay-ferraris-no-co-1823779777 Read more

Thank you, Elvis!  Read more

It’s terrifying to think that people were tearing around in a V8 on wheels wrapped in electrical conduit. Read more

Thank you so much! You are definitely on the Dave Helms side of things, then! Stay tuned. More on this project as it develops... Read more

Neat. That had a Zombi vibe to it. I like Zombi a lot. Read more

Thank you so much for reading this, and for leaving this comment. I can’t say much more now, but I will say this: Jim’s story is not over yet, and I’ll be seeing him again soon! Read more

I was a guest on that show. This podcast is called Tempest. Just search for Tempest. Read more

CONGRATULATIONS! Plenty of time to get that third pedal. Meantime, enjoy the wheels and the freedom and fun that comes with it. Read more

Man, an Austin Healey Sprite! That’s pretty fun. Coolest college car around, I bet. I share your hatred of flappy paddles. Thanks for the comment! Read more
