Getting Nerdy at the International Motor Racing Research Center Watkins Glen, NY

Kenin Bassart — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 14:48:21 +0000

Watkins Glen, NY has a long and deep automotive racing history. The city has gone from hosting the towns first road race back in 1948 to hosting global events at the Watkins Glen International Speedway. It’s only natural then that Watkins Glen would be home to the International Motor Racing Research Center. Motor Racing first came […]

The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum – A Tribute to an American Pioneer

Kenin Bassart — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 15:45:09 +0000

While the Wright Brothers clearly own the title for successfully completing the first controlled flight, there are quite a few other pioneers in the aviation space that arguably deserve as much, if not more recognition, for their efforts in making flight a human possibility. Glenn H. Curtiss is one of those men, and a trip to […]

Kenin Bassart — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 14:53:41 +0000

As a passionate lover of all things automotive, one of my favorite finds in any city I visit is a good car museum. There’s nothing like taking a stroll through America’s rich automotive history, and who better to curate a car museum than the Antique Automobile Club of America. Featuring a wide range of automobiles and […]

Miami Automobile Museum The Dezer Collection – It’s Automotive Mania!

Kenin Bassart — Sun, 24 Nov 2013 22:26:04 +0000

Tucked away in a corner of Northern Miami Dade County is one of Miami’s best kept secrets. No, it’s not a private beach for the ultra rich or some ultra exclusive bar where musicians and starlets hang out. It’s a place open and accessible to average Joe’s like you and me (even though you might […]

Getting in Gear with Miami Exotic Auto Racing

Kenin Bassart — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 15:35:17 +0000

“Hit the brakes at 200 ft” … “Now Turn in”…”Hit the apex”… “Now Floor it!” I think my driving coach said something else, but all I remember after that point is a growling 530 HP V-10 engine laying the backbeat for the crashing bang of my frantically thumping heart. There are moments in life where […]

Getting our Kicks on Route 66: A Road Trip Through Time.

Kenin Bassart — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:04:32 +0000

Route 66 means a lot of things to a lot of different people in America. In fact, It’s probably one of America’s most written about roads and has become it’s own cultural icon of sorts. To date, there’s been a TV show and songs written about it, in addition to tons of memorabilia that ranges from commemorative […]

#FriFotos – #Car Photos from Road Trips Across America

Kenin Bassart — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 13:21:59 +0000

When I found out that this weeks #FriFotos was about #Cars I almost had a conniption! What topic is better for a self-described car lover who spends all of his time driving back and forth across America? I couldn’t ask for a better topic. As you can imagine we have tons of car photos, so […]

Ultimate Road Trip Cars

Kenin Bassart — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:18:39 +0000

Setting out on a road trip without the right car for the job would be like running a marathon in a pair of basketball shoes. Technically you can do it, but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as fun. We decided to put together a short list of our ultimate road trip cars for different styles […]

Das Auto: Our VW Across America – Love on Four Wheels

Lauren Bassart — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:03:24 +0000

Kenin and I share a deep love of vehicles. We both also share a love for driving. We are firm believers in buying a car to drive it to its limits, and we did just that when we took our VW across America. Volkswagen roughly translates to “People’s car”. I am sure it could be […]
