Driving Old School – Road Trip in a ’71 VW Beetle

Final Installment – Saturday, November 8, 2008 – I am in a Starbucks in New York City writing this final installment of this blog. I drove Kat to her new home in CT yesterday afternoon. It was dark when I arrived but that didn’t quell the excitement surrounding her arrival. My sister was waiting on the porch when I pulled in and she quickly kicked me out to drive her down the driveway. Flashlights and spotlights were turned on as the children ran out to greet the new member of the family. [...]

9/2/2008 – The Human Rights Campaign Foundation just released its 2009 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) and 6 of the 259 major U.S. businesses that scored a top rating of 100 percent are automotive manufacturers. Listed in alphabetical order they are: Chrysler, Ford, GM, Subaru, Toyota and VW. Subaru, in concert with their long-standing support of the LGBT community, is not surprising. Some might be taken back by the other companies on the list as well as those that didn’t achieve a perfect score. [...]

2009 VW Tiguan – Preview

I’m in stunning Boulder, CO as a guest of Volkswagen to drive the 2009 VW Tiguan. “Tiguwhat?” you might be saying to yourself. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to the name. The Tiguan is the first compact SUV from VW to hit our shores and they are promising that it is “the GTI of Crossovers”. With a 200 HP 2-liter turbo engine and an available 6-speed manual in the base trim level, it seems to have the prerequisites. The question is, has VW been able to translate their sporty driving experience into a compact SUV? That’s what we are here for. [...]
