Videos From The UPS Show, Horsepower Breakfast This Sunday

As most of you already figured out, if I had not taken the automotive path, I would be a musician. I am totally all embracing as far as music is concerned from Classical to Heavy Metal and all points in between.  My friends in New Hampshire will remember that I was in a band by the name of, The Baker River Valley Blues and Jug Band. So blue grass is a great outlet for me. I…

A Mopar Addiction Story 1947 Chevy Video On Star For Your Rod



Editorial By Miguel Caparros.

By now some of you may have noticed I took a week off. More out of necessity than a vacation. I actually ran out of running vehicles! But that is a story for another time. You have to be a very serious enthusiast when people only know you as John Cuda. I am featuring his story as to the incident that led to his addiction. Next week I may have a scalding story about what happens when you take your car to a dealer for service. Stay…

How I fell in love with Mopars.

One sweltering hot summer night when I was 9 years old I was playing on the living room floor with my hotwheels cars.

I had a large wall built with a stack of cars and I was ramming my favorite black chevy van with flames painted on the side into the wall of cars to see how many I could knock over each time.

The “Car Guy’s Garage”

Step inside a place like this and you can almost hear the echoes of every wrench turned and every engine fired back to life. The light hums off the old signs, Route 66, Coca-Cola, Phillips 66, and the smell is that unmistakable mix of oil, leather, and stories. This isn’t just a garage. It’s a…
