The Car Couple
Ryan and his wife, Marilyn, have been writing The Car Couple auto review column for about 10 years.
They live in beautiful Ellijay, Ga. with their cat Nina and enjoy the mountain scenery, especially the winding roads.
The Car Couple features an overview of the week's featured vehicle and then Ryan's Ride with his comments and Marilyn's Moment with her likes/dislikes. (Most people skip to her section first)
The column currently appears weekly to several newspapers in north Georgia.
As an aside, Ryan was recently elected president of the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association (GAAMA), which is a group of automotive media professionals in the Atlanta area with members in Alabama, Tennesse and North Carolina. For more information or to join, visit www.gaama.org.

Ryan,
