Review: 2019 Mercedes Benz - AMG C63: An $80,000 Rental Car

Driving an AMG is like being an undercover cop. As we cruised through hotel parking lots, with the symphonious exhaust clicked open, heads would turn. Sleek in black, purring but not growling, looking expensive but sounding like there’s something more exciting happening, it gets a second look from just about every vacation-goer who notices it.

Reviving These epic Cars Could Bring Pop-Up Headlights Back

For now, let’s take a trip down memory lane and look at a few historically significant vehicles that featured the most entertaining bit of car design to hit the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Let’s do this

Thirty-two years in the making. How crazy/scary/cool/exciting/terrifying/awesome/nerve-wracking is that?

It’s taken 32 years for me to put these words down.

When I took up running for a hobby, a hobby that I’ve since given up on, I would often run to the local cemetery located a mile-and-a-half from my house. Not only was it a good landmark to judge how far and how fast I was running, but it had a large, circular road that wound around its monuments and mausoleums.

Baby’s First Photoshoot

Having my photo taken is still something totally foreign to me.

I don’t take selfies often. I’m not an Instagram influencer. For the most part, I like to document the things I see and less so myself actually seeing them. The magazine editor in me was always behind the cover photoshoots, never in front of the camera.

5 Cars That Never Lived Up To Their Names

These vehicles turned out to be as boring as a public television phone-a-thon, but by name had so much potential to be legendary.

So much time today is spent complaining on social media or looking back at better days. We seem to spend too many moments lusting for another life instead of embracing where we are.
