Fascinated with the shiny buttons inside his great uncle’s Buick Electra, it didn’t take him long to get hooked on the car culture; both on the street and in racing. Michael has worked for a major oil company as a sales representative covering a territory of 40 gas stations. Afterwards, he became a chauffeur to high ranking politicians and government officials.

When he is not busy writing about cars, he enjoys driving his 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC or his 2003 Dodge Dakota.

I’m switching gears, as it were, and devote this column to an accident I suffered right after New Year’s Day. Although most of us have been involved in accidents, if only minor ones, we are reluctant to use the word “accident.” The collision lasted mere seconds. I was driving home... Read More

Spray Nine did a great job on the bulldozer, but now for the real test. You would think that the... Read More
“What are you doing today, Uncle Mikey?” “Why, Maude, I’m glad you asked. I will Spray Nine my bulldozer.” That’s right. I made a new verb. You can medal at the Olympics and you can Spray Nine dirt away. The latter is much easier, especially with Spray Nine’s Heavy-Duty Cleaner, Degreaser,... Read More
