Frequently Asked Questions

Let me pause for a moment to share some of the questions I get asked quite often from viewers. Some of you viewing my blog at this current moment in time, especially those of you who live outside of the U.S.. may be wondering the same exact questions, so pay close attention below.

Q: Do you take all these photos yourself?

A: Yes. There may be a few instances where I may borrow a photo from the Internet to use in a post, but that doesn't occur very often.

Q: Do you publish every photo you take?

A: No. It is up to me to decide what photos I would like to publish. The posts I publish on this
website are mostly according to my personal tastes in automobiles.

Q: Where do you take most of your pictures?

A: If you didn't know already, I am from California, so I take most of my pictures there. I will also feature photos from out-of-state and out-of-country trips I have taken or plan on taking.

Q: What do you use to take your pictures with?

A: I mainly use my phone to take pictures, which is an iPhone 6. I also have a Canon Eos Rebel T3, which is one of those fancier cameras. I don't use it that much, but I will eventually use it more often, once I can get a taller lens for it.

Also, being a fan of the brands listed above doesn't mean that I like every one of their cars (i.e. Jaguar X-Type, Chevy Citation, Cadillac Cimarron, Ford Aspire).

Q: What is your least favorite car brand(s)?

A: My least favorite car brands include Citroen, Peugeot, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Fiat, Volkswagen, Kia, Renault, Dacia, Nissan, Lincoln, Isuzu, and Scion. Disliking these brands doesn't mean that I don't like every model they produce (i.e. Nissan GT-R, Nissan Z, Lincoln Continental except from 1980's & 1990's, Scion FR-S, Kia K900, Volkswagen CC).


Q: If you could create your ultimate dream car, what features would it have? What materials would it include?

A: First off, it would be a coupe or sedan that looks good and goes fast. It would have an aluminum chassis and bits of carbon fiber on the outside. Inside, it would have either leather or racing seats and alcantara would adorn the dashboard. My ultimate dream car would have either a naturally-aspirated or turbocharged V8, V10, or V12. It would produce at least 500 HP. 0-60 mph would be in the three-second range or better and top speed will be around 200 mph or greater. It would come with a manual or dual-clutch transmission and be rear-wheel drive or rear-biased all-wheel drive. Notable features it would also receive are a dual-exhaust setup, traction control, launch control, and carbon ceramic brakes. Finally, it would have an approximate ten-second quarter mile and a sub-7:30 Nurburgring lap time. I could go on all day about my ultimate dream car, but I'm just going to end the details right there.

If you have any other questions that you need me to clarify, feel free to ask me in the comments section below. I will be more than happy to answer them once I get a chance to read them.
