The Woodward Dream Cruise has to be by-far my favorite holiday of the year. Thousands of cars flock to the streets of Suburban Detroit each year to create the world's largest moving Car Show.

Lingenfelter Performance Engineering's tech center in Wixom, Mi hosts a Cars and Coffee event every Saturday morning throughout the Summer months. 

Photos taken at the Abarth Track Day Experience at Daytona International Speedway in May 2014. When I purchased my new Fiat, one of the incentives that comes with it is a complimentary track day experience where the Fiat brand invites new Abarth owners out to a race track of their choice and sets us loose to drive as fast as we can. There were 4 different events for us all to participate in over the course of the day. There was an autocross against the clock and a head-to-head autocross. Then there were two sessions of hot laps around a road course. Finally we ended the day with a ride along in the passenger seat with one of the instructors at the wheel for us all to experience just how fast the cars could really go. 

Photos taken at the 2014 Fiat Freakout event. Fiat Freakout (FFO) is the annual gathering put on by the Fiat Club of America to bring together owners and enthusiasts of our quirky Italian brand. FFO is held each Summer here in the United States and this year they chose to put on their annual car show just a few hours down the road from me outside of Chicago in July 2014.

Fiat of Lakeside hosted a garage day for our Facebook group Michigan Modern Fiat Owners. They invited us all out to use their bays and lifts to install parts, make modifications and do maintenance on our personal vehicles.

I took my Miata on a short drive before finally putting it away for the winter. Drove 300 miles around the tip of the "thumb" of Michigan to Port Austin and back.

There are few things in this world that can make a grown man feel more like a child than a Torred Dodge Challenger with a Hemi V8 and a Shaker hood scoop.

Went out to make some tracks in the fresh snow to test out the winter-ready hardware I added to my car over the past months. Winter tires, heated seats, xenon headlamps and fog lights were all excellent choices for first modifications to my new car.

Went to visit the Yankee Air Museum at Willow Run.

Foundry is something which I consider "automotive adjacent" and has always peaked my facination. My brother-in-law owns and operates Chicago Crucible, a foundry in Chicago, Il that does art metal casting and sculpture. He invited us out there in early December to watch his crew put on an Iron Pour. 

Casting is one of those "automotive adjacent" topics that has always fascinated me. My brother-in-law owns and operates Chicago Crucible; an art-metal foundry in Chicago, Il and he was kind enough to haul all some of his equipment out to Detroit this holiday season to put on an aluminum pour for the family.
