Pursuing optimal combustion
Queen City Cars & Coffee is back! The past two years hosting this show have been absolute blast, and I'm stoked to be putting it on again this year. Last year, over 90 cars attended, about 30 more than the first year. For QC3 (just made that name up right now and I dig it) the... Continue Reading →
If last year's Queen City Cars & Coffee was great, the show this August was incredible.

Contrary to popular belief, forward progress isn't achieved in one quantum leap; success isn't born overnight. Our society is obsessed with the idea that some people simply get lucky, that successful people were at the right place at the right time and that circumstances swept them up and away to success.

When you think of the early 1990's, supercars may not be the first thing that pops into your brain. Here's a list, in no particular order that arrives to mind first: TrapperKeepers, Dennis Rodman, the Goosebumps books, and Salute Your Shorts. And let's be honest, those aren't the modern world's finest moments. When you stop and... Continue Reading →
