Even if you don’t own a Murci, you have to admit this is a cool piece of art. There are a bunch of great car artists in Chicago but I particularly like his style and thought you might as well. Artist Lee Radtke writes; “I happened to be in Gold Coast Lamborghini one...

BEFRIEND A MECHANIC Yes, the guy who is going to adjust, tune or (God forbid) fix your car, is right now fixing one just like it, or fixed one just like it last week.  A good mechanic will tell you what went wrong, but a great mechanic will tell you why, and...
