Mitsakes. We all make them, just like my spelling you see there. Mistakes are what give us experience and know what's wrong or not working.

Goodguys 29th West Coast Nationals
Photos and Text by Tony Huntimer So it all started back in 2001… Not Goodguys. I’m talking about when I started writing my first book.

Forgeline Looks Behind To Forge Ahead
In grade school they teach us that we must learn history in order to prevent history from repeating itself. What the teacher meant is that some of the problems facing the world today have already been faced, and some of those we don't want to face again.

Chance of a lifetime! The Part Deux!
Story by: Tony Huntimer First, with Big Red in Columbus and then with Adam Carolla! Somebody pinch me. I’ve been listening to Adam’s nasally drone since Loveline back in 1996!

Going Beyond The Red Line With Dakota Digital
There's nothing like seeing the needle on a tachometer climb all the way to red line, and feeling the adrenaline rush that comes with it. Your palms are sweaty, heart is racing, and you want to do it all over again. The gauges in your ride are the direct correlation between feeling and visually seeing that rush. Gauges are just as important to the cars looks and … [Read more...]

Goodguys 22nd Summer Get-Together
It's time again for the Goodguys Summer Get-Together. Is it really Summer yet? This is the 22nd running of this particular Goodguys show. It seems like just the other day I was at a car show in Pleasanton. We sure get a lot of them out here due to the great climate most of the year. Sure, I love rubbing it in when I get the chance. But for the great weather, we pay an arm and … [Read more...]
