Research tells me that flying is not riskier to catch COVID than going to the mall. But, I need to go to Los Angeles and the Central Coast and there’s no reason to push my luck. The compromise I’ve found a way to justify to myself is to fly there and drive back. In essence,…

Time for the regular scheduled CPP, or Cheap Porsche Post – But which one?
There are some basic rules every car blog follows. The most important of them is to regularly have a CPP, or Cheap Porsche Post. There are many cheap Porsches out there. But what CPP should I include this time?
2011 Geländewagen Luxus Kompaktklasse 350 for $8200 near Raleigh, NC
When talking about outstanding cool cars cheap the Mercedes GLK 350 never comes up in conversation, but it should.
A Contrarian Convertible – 2010 VW EOS for $5995 near Cleveland
As a car nut, there’s nothing better to do on a warm and sunny weekend than put the top down and drive up the coast with your significant other/others/family/partner/NGSP/etc. The purpose of a convertible isn’t rational, is to feel life, experience emotions and get closer to your feelings. The openness makes everything a little more…
Executive Transport – 2009 Audi S5 (A5) in Downey, CA
S5’s (and A5’s) are the ideal daily driver for the executive who has style, but who also makes rational decisions. Driving a refined, safe, and respectable Audi will assure any Board of Directors that you’re just the type of person they want running their global conglomerate.
2005 Audi TT 3.2 VR6 Quattro DCT
I wasn’t looking to find such a lust-worthy car for so little money, but here it is. A 2005 Audi TT with the very very desirable combination of the original body style and superior VR6 engine.

It had the potential to become as iconic and desirable as the Porsche 911.
2011 Mercedes E-Class Wagon
I think I may need to risk a COVID plane ride and roadtrip this Merc back to New England. Since my kids and I started skiing last winter I’ve been looking for a good deal on an E-Class to replace, or augment, my 2009 Toyota Highlander. The Highlander is a great car in only two…
BMW 1M – 2011 – 6Speed Manual
BMW 1M – 2011 – 6 Speed Manual – 56K Miles – Seattle This is the first of what will likely be many BMWs on this list, in particular 1-series (E82) BMW’s. Even though I don’t consider myself a BMW fanboy, I probably meet the criteria of the definition. I think the 1-series is going…
Porsche Boxter S 6-Speed
This Porsche Boxter S near Beaverton looks like a prime example of a cheap ride. There are a ton of Boxters on Craigslist, but it’s rare to find one that clicks all the boxes. It’s a “S”, clean title, below $15K, and less than 90K miles. The ad talks about some upgrades, which are often…
