The Lane Motor Museum holds one of the largest and oddest collections of tiny, weirdo, orphan cars ever assembled. And once a year, you can pay to drive some of them. Or, if you’re me and writing about it for the February 2014 issue of Road & Track, you can drive them for free.

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).

Another tale of automotive mayhem for Road & Track. Starring my 92 year-old Grandma Bobbie, her Gold Lexus, her 96 year-old best friend Evelyn Cantor, and a eerily treacherous stretch of suburban Detroit roadway.
An explanation of why, after I was destroyed and financially debilitated by one 1980s Jeep Grand Wagoneer, I went out and bought a second. For Road & Track.
Renowned New York City graffiti artist Lee Quinones explains why Hell hath no (Gran) Fury like a 80s (Dodge) Diplomat. The next installment in my 10-part series for Road & Track.
Teenagers are often surprised when the decisions they make end in disaster. This is not because they’re dumb, but because they lack the experience to predict imminent ruination. This is what makes life fresh for them, and it is the cornerstone of the vitality we call youth. The second in a ten-part series I’m doing for Road & Track.
I Drive the Nissan “Taxi of Tomorrow” all over New York City, and review it–with the help of my “fares.” My latest for Road & Track.
A paean to the shitty 70s Volvos I owned in my 20s, in the 90s. The first installment in a ten-part series I’m doing for Road & Track.
Isolated from distracting road surfaces””bumps, joints, grooves, peasants””and insulated from irritating details like wind noise and the laws of physics, it becomes difficult to tell how fast you”re going in the new Rolls-Royce Wraith. Allow me to answer this for you: you are going very fast. My latest for Road & Track.
I talked to Ron Howard about his new movie “Rush,” for the October issue of Road & Track. I figured they’d edit down our conversation, like magazines usually do, but instead, they gave it a giant five-part spread. Fortunately, I resisted my usual urge to hog all the good lines. Also fortunate, Ron is an incredibly thoughtful, smart, and interested guy.
