4DSC Returns as an ’09 Maxima? Since there is no Infiniti dealer within driving range, I take my car to the local Nissan dealer for service. Despite having traded off my 350Z nearly a year ago, I still get their “Nissan” mailings and the offer of a $19.95 oil change from them was irresistible, so […]
2006 Nissan Versa vs. 2007 Nissan Sentra review
NICOclub Versa Moderator compares the new 2007 Nissan Sentra to the 2007 Nissan Versa I took a test drive of a new ’07 Sentra today. In the interest of comparing oranges to something at least relatively close to an orange, I made a point of picking out a 6-speed Sentra (since my Versa is a […]
Day of the Cobra…A Mountain Story
Day of the Cobra…A Mountain Story (This story appeared previously (Oct 2003) on a site devoted to 350Zs. At the time I had owned my Z for about 6 months. I’ve reprinted it exactly as it appeared). “. . . I was alone, I took a ride, I didn’t know what I would find there. […]
2007 Sedan comparison:Altima vs. Accord vs. Camry
If you ask someone what is the best entry/mid-level sports sedan on the market, odds are you will get one of three answers. The Toyota Camry, Honda Accord or the Nissan Altima. So I decided to compare all three and see for myself. I chose 3 cars of equal options, and trim packages. All three […]
Log of The Z–Remembering the Expensive Chimichanga
Log of The Z–Remembering the Expensive Chimichanga I tend to write a lot of stuff about my Z. I guess because owning it suddenly put me into the Big Leagues. It was a fifty-five month period of unending adventure and oddball happenings that sharpened my appreciations and provided me with a coda for my life’s […]

Busted in Georgia
Busted in Georgia It’s about 1 AM, on a Sunday. I’d been on the road for nearly 5 hours. I was in central Georgia, just south of Macon, returning home after attending a friend’s wedding in Nashville and I was hungry so I got off the Interstate and pulled into a popular roadside restaurant. The […]
The Worst Car You Ever Owned?
The Worst Car You Ever Owned? . . . I got hours ahead of me and hours I just keep burning away. . . The absurd cost of a tank of gas has put me off random drive-arounds, and except for a quick trip in the G to a reunion of friends in Daytona Beach […]
A Supercar Buffet
A Supercar Buffet They were clustered by the dozens in neat groups. The Audis were under the trees, the Rollers & Bentleys were by the tents, right next to the Aston-Martins; Ferraris (Oh, God, the FERRARIS !!!) were grouped along the fence and the Lambo’s were lined up with mathematical precision along the path. The […]
Stories About Cars
Stories About Cars Of all the possible things for me to focus on–women, or fine art, or making a buck; the whitewater wash of a river, skyscrapers, and possibly, Hillary as President of Us All, I tend to focus mostly on the automobile. It’s been a long and determined focus, too, one stretching back to […]
