The Last Word (?) on Amazon and Taxation

I broke this story early on in these pages, so I thought perhaps I should give an update. Follow this link, dear reader.

Riding Season

Last night was a beautiful night. It was 62 degrees at sunset, the sky was clear, and the road beckoned. I grabbed my roommate and we mounted my two favorite bikes (a 2007 Honda VFR800 and a 2007 Honda 919) and fought through traffic until we found the countryside. The cows were grazing lazily as [...]

1997 Honda Civic LX – $2800

I suppose now that gas is expected to hover near the $4.00 mark this summer that I can only stress one point about this car and it will be sold — It gets an EPA-rated 32 mpg highway on regular gas. Find yourself mired in city traffic? You can still expect to return 25 mpg. [...]

Taking a quick breath…

Where have I been? Overwhelmed! A friend asked me today why he hasn’t seen any new inventory posted and asked if I’m still selling cars. Am I still selling cars? Yes! What happened to me? I’ve been moving. My short-term lease was up on the old office, and I had to find a new place, [...]

Rare Cars

I started watching Wayne Carini on Chasing Classic Cars a while back. Wayne is a straight-talking auto broker based in the small river town of Portland, Connecticut. His show revolves around his never-ending pursuit of cars most people have never heard of, much less seen or owned. Sometimes he will happen across a Bugatti in [...]

Memory Saturation

I’ve always had an insatiable need to know everything. Not that I wanted to be a know-it-all (although I’m sure I lean that way sometimes), but I have always wanted to learn absolutely every factoid I could about anything which interested me in the slightest, and even some things that didn’t interest me if I [...]

Rainy Weekend

A man on Twitter summed it up pretty well today when he said, “Couldn’t ask for better weather to empty the DVR”. Although I didn’t do much TV watching today (half an episode of Dirty Jobs during breakfast) but I did manage to get a whole lot of music listened to. I broke out vinyl [...]

2002 Toyota Solara SLE V6 – $6700

I’m kind of hoping that nobody inquires about this one. I occasionally happen across cars which I actually enjoy taking home from the office, and this is one of them. No, it’s not the sportiest or most luxurious car I’ve ever driven, but it’s nice-looking, has all the buttons (leather, heated seats, 6-disc in-dash changer, [...]

2003 GMC Sierra Z71 4×4 – $11,900

Here’s my latest consignment! It’s the truck that can kick Chuck Norris’s butt and warm it at the same time. That’s right, everyone, it has the power of a mighty Chevy V8 up front, and the comfort and of heated leather and Bose Audio on the inside. It’s like a gentleman’s work truck. It has [...]

2007 Infiniti G35 – $19,900

This is a very clean and amazingly nice 2007 Infiniti G35 Journey sedan. It is a 1-owner, never wrecked car owned by a local businessman. He replaced it with a 2010 G37 Convertible, so it was time for this car to find a new home! Major options: Premium Package and optional Wheels. Included on vehicle: [...]
