Yes, it's this fast!

Why on Earth would I build a car culture section into my website?
Simple: I'm returning to my roots. First love and all that. Combining it my second love, photography. As for the "first love", I fell in love with motor sports when I was 10, playing with my slot cars on the carport floor and listening to the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the radio. The first actual race I saw was a NASCAR Firecracker 400 in Daytona, on my 16th birthday. Boom, I was really hooked! That same year, I got my first job, at a VW/Porsche/Audi dealership. At 18, I started running rally and autocross. Picked up a few trophies along the way. Got away from it all when college called- a bitter-sweet process, to be sure. Became a professional photographer and, later, a videographer. For some reason I took my grandson Rio, age 14, to his first race, the Portland Rose Cup GT races this summer. All it took was a walk through the pits and catching the scent of hot oil, racing fuel, and burning rubber and I was done. I may be past my competition prime (we'll see), but I could make photographs, make movies and write stories about it all and share it with you! Hit me up here if you want to talk. Do what you love, love what you do. And I do. Scroll down, and let's look at some fun cars and a film or two.... BMW i8 at German Palooza this summer...

Tesla, eat your hearts out. Saw this beast at the German Palooza in August, at the Portland International Raceway. 331 mile range, 155mph top speed–about the same as the Tesla S–but at your top speed on your best day, Tesla, you won't ever generate as much adrenaline as the i8 will, just sitting still. Well worth the extra $90k in this daydreamer's book!
