AutoMatters & More

A year ago, when I reviewed Nissan Z: 50 Years of Exhilarating Performance by Pete Evanow (see AutoMatters & More #653: automatters.net/review-nissan-z-50-years-of-exhilarating-performance/), something hugely important was missing.

Some race series artificially manufacture competition during races, to make things more interesting for race fans.

Recently I covered and participated in the spectacular MAIN STREET AMERICA People’s Choice Charity Car Show, in Embarcadero Park North, near Seaport Village.

Universal Studios Hollywood I love Universal Studios Hollywood but, due to its closure for COVID-19, I have not been there in a very long time.

This has been a week filled with surprises.

There was much to choose from for things to do on the 4th of July.

Last week’s column covered the amazing 1957-59 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner retractable top convertible, as seen at Fabulous Fords Forever.

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of returning from the COVID shutdown to cover a major car show: “Fabulous Fords Forever.”

In 2020, due to COVID-19, the San Diego County Fair had to be canceled but, after a two-year interruption, COVID restrictions are being lifted and a somewhat scaled-back version of the fair has returned, just in time to welcome locals and out-of-state visitors in 2021.

A beautiful day in the countryside setting of Rancho Santa Fe was the site for last Sunday’s San Diego Ferrari Owners Club’s “Ferraris at Cielo” car show.
