Simeone Foundation Auto Museum 11.30.2017
FRED SIMEONE: My definition of a successful museum experience is when you leave that exit door with more up here and here than you came in with. So, it’s about education. It’s about learning, and hopefully –and this is every collector’s dream, conveying the passion that you have on to someone else. Everyone knows museums are meant to educate, which is what we do,… Read More

Count us in when it comes to a pickup truck from Jeep… and there are more reasons we’re anxious to get the keys. Our spy photographer recently caught the upcoming Jeep Wrangler Pickup truck.

With the Ford Ranger pick-up due to return in 2019, it looks like there’s something even more rugged on the way. Tempers flared as our spy photographer got these shots on the mid-size Ranger.

Tire Tracks: Lamborghini Diablo 6.22.2017
When it first steaked onto the world stage in 1990, the Lamborghini Diablo was unlike anything we car junkees had ever seen.

Now, he tracked down one particular diablo with a past as dramatic as its looks. ROGER MECCA: Even by… Read More
