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.

The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur imposes and intimidates, whether you’re cruising through the countryside, or a smoggy capital city like Beijing, where I drove it. But the real news is in the back seat. Find out more in the September, 2013 issue of Road & Track by clicking on the crappy scan above, or just buy the magazine on the newsstand, you chintzy bitch.
I have a couple pieces in the August issue of Road & Track, but my favorite is this one (on page 26), reported from the Shanghai Auto Show, on how China’s dominance of the automotive marketplace is influencing global car design in fascinating and unpredictable ways.

There is more to the automotive palette than black, silver, and (especially) white.
The final installment in my ten-part series on automotive evolution, for Road & Track.
Celebrating Father”s Day with Five Trucks That Are Much More Effective (and Healthier) for Your Dad Than Typical Testosterone-Replacement Therapies. Read all about it, at Vanity Fair.
The Bentley Flying Spur defies the laws of physics and the bounds of believability, calling into question our elemental assumptions, and engendering anomie. In a good sense. My latest for Road & Track.
