Apparently I can’t count. This is the last piece in the ten-part series on automotive evolution I did for Road & Track. And, of course, it’s about hot (and not) bodies. Click and learn.
Resist the Rainbow at Your Peril

The final installment in my ten-part series on automotive evolution, for Road & Track.
The Five Best Dad Trucks
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.

EXTREME Luxury
I have 5 cool stories in the latest issue of BLACK INK magazine, all of which you could read if you were an AmEx Centurion cardholder, which you’re not. So you’ll have to make do with these crappy scans. Click on each to enlarge and attempt to read.

I finagled a private tour of Carol Bove’s new sculpture installation “Caterpillar,” which is on an unopened stretch of Manhattan’s High Line Park. My colleague, photographer Justin Bishop accompanied me, which means the photos in this slideshow don’t suck, and weren’t taken with my iPhone. Be transported, at Vanity Fair
