TDC was doing a little consulting with a good friend recently, and an idea for a new TDC Series was born: Adventures of a Wanna-be Racecar Driver. This brilliantly named series would chronicle TDC's escapades through all types of motorsport. Somewhat surprisingly, New Hampshire has a diverse and varied motorsport history and is home to...

The Superman of the Trail: It’s a Jeep, it’s a Hummer, it’s a… What is that?
A friend of TDC's named Dave drives what is very likely the coolest vehicle in Southern New Hampshire. You could call it a truck, but take one look at it and you realize that this is no truck. It's certainly not a car, and definitely not an SUV; it essentially defies description. When you watch... Continue Reading →

Cars in the Wild
Spotted in front of the Piccola Italia restaurant on Elm Street in Manchester, NH, this fine automobile was owned by a dapper gentleman sitting in front of Piccola and looked exactly like how you would picture a Bentley owner: Tan, sporting sunglasses and slicked back white hair. When I shouted from my car, "Beautiful car!"... Continue Reading →

Appeasing the Demon: Living with a car that does Naughty and Nice wickedly well
If I were to add up all the gearshifts completed in my WRX since I picked it up in Loganton, PA six months ago, the clutch pedal has been depressed approximately 90,153 times. And let me state one item from the get go: Each shift has been more exciting than anything I could have ever imagined. My 2009 Subaru... Continue Reading →
Ice Ice Baby: The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II is as cool as ice
Normally, the kinds of cars that end up on my dream list have exotic names, come from exotic places, and aren’t from the early 1990’s. The faster, more expensive and newer they are, the better. And I like passionate cars: Wings, loud exhausts, shattering speed, and more soul than an Aretha Franklin concert. Having a... Continue Reading →
Rare American Muscle: The 1969 Corvette Stingray ZL-1
Some say that back in the late 1960’s, General Motors developed an engine so powerful that it ran on liquid hot magma, and could make the earth spin backwards when fully unleashed. A motor of this caliber was sure to make it a legend in its own time and the car it was harnessed to,... Continue Reading →
Group B Rally Cars are Old-School and Awesome
The Group B rally series ran from 1982 to 1987 and featured some of the wildest and most powerful rally cars ever made. The regulations on the cars were simple: There were none. Manufacturers were free to create as much power as they could, crank out as much boost pressure as possible, and use whatever... Continue Reading →
What Turbo’d Dreams May Come
The dream car. The car that when it passes us on the road, we do a double-take and stare after it longingly. The one that when we see it in a parking lot, we peer through the window to see how clean the owner keeps the interior, how many miles are on the odometer. When... Continue Reading →
