Tired Of Family & Friends’ Fiery Facebook Posts? Here’s Some Haunting Hollywood Trivia To Calm Your Nerves
It’s Friday. It’s October. It’s an election year. Add all that up, and we’re hankering for a distraction — anything other than attack ads and fact-checking and screechy Facebook posts. We’re not trying to be apolitical, we’re not trying to dodge serious issues, WE WOULD JUST LIKE A TEN-MINUTE CEASE FIRE. Please.

2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Is Hot Enough To Fight Off The Winter Blues
I like autumn, but the 40-degree weather that signals the coming of winter and froze my sweet ass off at a recent football game, not so much. So, I said “eff-it” and hopped a plane to L.A., where winter is a concept locals only hear about on cable news. I figured a Mercedes C63 AMG would warm the chill, so I threw it down the Pacific Coast Highway to see if it would grip the curves or become a V8-powered cigarette boat.

On the way to my favorite coffee shop in the XF Supercharged, I give a wave to a gentleman in a Jaguar E-Type. He nods back, acknowledging the passing of time and technology. Both cars are clearly Jaguars. I’m just happy to have the latest one for my 20th high school reunion.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 Crosses Over Its Heritage
Mercedes-Benz is famous for its SL sports cars and S-Class sedans. The Gullwings are iconic, but so is the brick house G-Class SUV. Originally developed for the German military, it evolved into a posh mountain goat that can climb over almost anything with its three locking differentials.

2013 Dodge Charger Flexes Its Gay Muscle
One of my favorite shows this summer was “In the Big House” on LOGO. In one scene, former mobster “Big Lou” tries to give his gay son, Luis, advice on building muscle mass. Luis points to his ripped abs and asks his dad what he’s talking about. His dad counters, “Yeah, but it’s gay muscle”. Point being, there’s powerful-beat-up-the schmuck-you’re-intimidating muscle and then there’s hey-I’m-sexy-and-pretty muscle. Both are hot, but the latter will get you in a lot less trouble. (Well, usually.)
