With the 19th Annual McPherson College C.A.R.S. Club Show coming up next weekend, it seems timely to run the coverage of last year's show. This is a must-see event for any true car fans. Few local car shows hold a candle to the annual C.A.R.S. (College Automotive Restoration Students) Club Car and Motorcycle show at McPherson College. McPherson College, a small liberal arts school in McPherson, Kansas, is the only college in the United States which offers an accredited, four-year degree program in both auto and motorcycle restoration. Because of this dedicated curriculum, the school and the C.A.R.S. Club show attract a following from die-hard enthusiasts and automotive luminaries. Many alums

I have a confession to make: I am a car guy. I am not your average “I had a cool car before I got married and had kids” car guy. I am not a mid-life-crisis car guy.

I started reading car magazines and books at 11, years before I c

There is a story the implications of which would have had a profound effect on the automotive world as we know it. It begins with one of the icons of motorsport, and the creator of one of the single most recognizable sports cars of all time, Carroll Shelby. Carroll Hall Shelby was born in January of 1923 to working-class couple Warren and Eloise Shelby of Leesburg, Texas. Carroll was a sickly child, spending most of his early years in bed. By the time he was seven years old, Shelby had been diagnosed with a leaky heart valve. His health improved as he grew, and by the time Carroll was in high school, it seemed as if he had “outgrown” his health problems. Shelby graduated from high school in

Every gearhead wants to drive something unique. We yearn for the thrill of g-sled acceleration, the feel of cornering as though on rails, and styling that makes you the envy of everyone at Cars and Coffee. This usually means an exotic or nearly exotic car. The thrill of being shoved back in your seat, hearing the wail of a high performance engine, as the scenery outside your window blurs, as you watch the speedometer tell you you’re approaching warp speed, it’s an experience few others eclipse. The problem, for most of us, is that exotic car experience is usually accompanied by a hefty price tag, and that job working at Uncle Plucky’s House of Chicken hasn’t impressed your loan officer enoug
