Updates and FYIs

All,

Things are looking good! A few last-minute donations have put EPautos in the black for the third month in a row. And there are still a couple days left to go. If January maintains, EPautos will be able to ditch the crickety iMac that’s becoming the electronic equivalent of a really tired, high-miles ’79 Chrysler Cordoba. Without the “rich, Corinthian leather.”

A big thanks to all of you who’ve made this work so far – and who continue to give me faith it will continue to work.

I am working on a couple new articles, including a review of the ’15 Nissan 370Z, which may be the last Z we see for awhile. Next up is an article about the salutary effect a low-cost/simple car would have on car prices generally… if, that is, the government (Clovers) would allow such cars to be offered for sale. Then, there’ll be an article about a very un-Mercerdes, which is precisely why I dig the thing.

I speak – with fondness (and I must admit, some lust) of the new GLA 45AMG. It’s a kind of upscale WRX STi, though Benz is not marketing it that way. 355 hp from 2.0 liters feeding AWD in a snarky looking hatchback sedan. My test car is chocolate brown metalloc and – trust me – it’s delicious!

More soon…

And, again – thanks to all of you!
