This whole “patina” thing is really starting to get on my nerves. Even the word bothers me now. Some cars have nice paint, some cars have shitty paint. Some fall in between. It’s pretty simple. It doesn’t have to be a big deal. Read on if you want to see me make it into one…
And apparently, so are a lot of the drivers in Phoenix. These examples of poor taste were all spotted this last week. Enjoy them.

The words “green” and “Buick” don’t even belong in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence, but someone didn’t get the memo. It looks like an ex-forest service car.
No, I’m not talking about some kind of Psych 101 Stanley Milgram type shit. I’m talking clean commuting here, and this home-converted electric car is the real deal.
No more greenhouse gasses, no more reliance on foreign oil, no rotten-egg smelling propane, no Hindenburg-esque “Oh, the humanity” hydrogen situations to worry about, no more coal power plants bellowing soot directly into the the ocean, no more landfills full of buried harmful chemicals, okay, well maybe you can’t have it all. But hey, at least it’s a start.
I have been ready to blow like Mount St. Helens since the weekend of January 19th, 2013.
Why, you ask? Because although Barrett-Jackson was a blast and I saw a lot of really cool cars and got to hang out with the guys and make fun of everything and generally just be an asshole, there is a flip side- I’ve seen about all the 60’s muscle cars I can handle for the rest of my life, I hurt my foot, and worst of all, I got duped into buying a twelve dollar turkey leg.
We are at Barrett-Jackson 2013 right now, bringing you the most up-to-date videos of some of the best cars here as they cross the auction block.

In previous articles, I’ve owned up to the fact that I don’t know as much about pre-1960s stuff as I probably should, and usually it doesn’t bother me very much. Most of that stuff looks the same to me anyways. The cars are generally kept in one of two conditions: original and slow (boring), or 1996-era Super Chevy’d out with a small-block and tweed and billet everything (lame).
