Sorry I don’t post here as often as I should. I

Sorry I don’t post here as often as I should. I promise that one day I’ll be better. Follow me on Instagram at @sojlewy to see my updates more often. In January, after about 8 months of searching an E46 M3 to purchase… my wife made me settle on this $5000 E36 M3 that has lots of issues, because she prefers the boxy shape. I also purchased a 1991 Porsche 944 S2 that is literally perfect inside and out. The BMW needs everything. The Porsche needs nothing… so far. Don’t worry, I still have my 2017 Shelby GT350. I’m not sure I’ll ever sell that one.

When you’re spending hours shooting cars, sometimes you need to get creative. You have to leave the cars running for a long time sometimes, and with modern cars they shut off automatically after 30 minutes. Tripods are more than just for holding a camera steady...

Click the link in the bio to read my latest review of the 2020 Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road. It was $41,780... which ain’t cheap. But it’s comfy, good on gas, and usable. Plus, I think the TRD trim looks way better than any of the other RAV4s.

Click that fancy link in the bio and have a listen to the wonderful Scott Vandekerckhove, or Scott Van for short. Scott works for Mercedes-Benz, specifically as an AMG Retail Training Specialist for the U.S. dealers. We have a brilliant conversation about him becoming a cop, leaving that world and getting into the automotive industry, his dog Big Lou, and why Robocop is the perfect film, plus way more.

Here’s a post-accident photo. Terrible. Such a wonderful car. It’s even more brilliant for saving two lives with nothing more than bruising from the seatbelts, and some minor burn marks on the wrist of the driver from the airbag deploying. The owner told me he saw the headlights coming to his left and slammed on the brakes at the last second. Good brakes save lives. He said he closed his eyes and just knew he was going to die. The only reason he eventually opened them was because his passenger was screaming that she couldn’t open the door and smelled smoke.

#tbt to the second day of owning my 2015 Mustang GT PP. Click the link in the bio to see more photos and info. It was recently totaled in an accident by someone who ran a red light at 60 mph. Luckily the current owner and his passenger were fine. No issues, just a few bruises from the seatbelts and a slight burn on the owner’s wrists from the airbag being deployed. I’ll forever miss this car I called Ali.

Tap on that link in the bio and listen to the man that at least one person thinks I look identical to, JF Musial. You’ve undoubtedly seen Apex: The Story of the Hypercar on Netflix. Or maybe Apex: The Secret Race Across America. Or /DRIVE on YouTube. /DRIVE on NBCSports. Maybe Proving Grounds on NBCSports. Possibly Off The Grid. It’s quite probable you’ve seen the work he does for auto brands through his company Tangent Vector. Enjoy this photo of Derek D, Tom Morningstar, JF, and myself at Matt Farah’s Birthday party circa 2010 in Redondo Beach, if I recall.

Click that link in the bio to listen to me and my best friend, the Mr. Rob Basile, yuck it up. Rob is a classic car mechanic and handyman dealing with the economy melting down during the coronavirus. We talk everything from the prices of trucks, to how he can't remember shit, and of course his deep, lustful love for 1950s Cadillacs and other classic cars. Those are his two Caddies in the photo, a 1950 Series 60, and a 1956 Coupe De Ville. Sexy. Him, not the cars.
