I have two articles in this month’s Road & Track magazine. In the first, I write about a test track in Arizona that replicates the shittiest road in New York City–an ersatz stretch used by Nissan to test their so-called Taxi of Tomorrow. I also test drive a new Rolls Royce in the Austrian Alps, and deem it as decidedly on brand as Hell (as in, Hades).

Located on an industrial stretch in Glendale, California, JG Francis’ shop – filled with natural light from the dozen skylights piercing the boat-trussed wooden ceiling – is lined with meticulously reconditioned Mercedes-Benz vehicles from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, packed together like glistering avocado green, tobacco brown, and champagne gold sardines. (Be sure to check out the slideshow). My latest for Men’s Journal

I was so confounded by the requisite inputs that at one point I simply released the controls and turned to my instructor. “Can you show me a picture of this machine and explain how it moves?” She looked at me like I was a talking dog.
My latest humiliation, for Popular Mechanics.

“Follow the money” they always say. But you may not want to take this advice at the Hilton Head Concours d’Elegance, or you’ll end up seated at a black tie dinner with a bunch of reprehensible, plutocratic, socially retrograde classic car owners. Luckily, my job was to judge them. Read all about it at Yahoo! Autos.
