The Best Cars For Coming Out

October 5, 2011October 24, 2011Nick Kurczewski 3

Coming out of the closet can be liberating, or terrifying. It can end up being a complete non-event, or the biggest change you’ll ever face. For most people, myself included, it was a combination of all of the above (and much more). Without delving into clichés – like talking about ‘the road ahead,’ or being sure to check under the hood etc. – I recently wondered what might qualify as an ideal coming out car. [...]

Michigan House Votes To Ban Domestic Partner Benefits

September 22, 2011September 22, 2011Nick Kurczewski 2

The Republican-controlled Michigan House has voted to ban all city agencies and state-funded universities from offering domestic partner benefits. Passed under the guise of saving millions of dollars for the cash-strapped state, proponents of the legislation also insist it’s upholding the will of state residents. In 2004, a one man and one woman marriage amendment was approved by voters. [...]

After 18 Years, ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Comes To An End

September 22, 2011Nick Kurczewski

For such a hotly debated subject, one that often escalated to raised voices and raw emotion, the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and acceptance of openly gay men and women into the U.S. military has seemed remarkably quiet and calm. The result is like sitting at a dinner table with feuding family members who, out of nowhere, suddenly start chatting amicably about the weather. There is an undeniable sense of relief, mixed with a twinge of lingering tension. [...]

The 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque adds chic design to the legendary off-road prowess that has always been an integral part of the Land Rover brand. I discovered just how happy the Evoque is to claw up steep inclines and scrabble over muddy trails during several rainy days spent in the U.K. with this littlest Land Rover. [...]

Celebrities always seem smaller in real life, much shorter and tinier than the over-sized personas they portray in movies and on television. The Cadillac Ciel Concept proved to be no exception to this rule during its recent trip to New York City. [...]

September 1, 2011September 2, 2011Nick Kurczewski 1

You’ve got to love a car that accelerates from 0 to 250 mph in less time then it takes to reheat a cup of coffee. Rotary Supercars says its upcoming “hypercar” will become the fastest car in the world, courtesy of a top speed of 279 mph and its 0.9 second sprint from 0 to 60 mph. That’s right, you’ll be able to accelerate to highway speeds in less than one second. That should be fun. [...]
