My Dad and AMSOIL
My father was an AMSOIL Dealer in the 1970s and 1980s, and that’s where I first learned about the product. He used it in his 1967 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and later in the 1973 Volkswagen Squareback that I first drove. He was always the mechanic …
My First Cars and AMSOIL
My first car was a 1981 Mercury Capri RS, and we put AMSOIL 10W-30 in it right away. I had that car for about a year before it was stolen from the community college parking lot one night.
In a way, I had the …
When It All Started
This was the car where everything really started to come together. I bought it in January 1993 with around 15,000 miles on it, and it quickly became more than just transportation. There was something exhilarating about feeling the turbo spool …
My First Van

While not as exciting as some of the other vehicles I had owned, my 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager did a lot for me while I had it. It was the first year of this body style, and while it had a few …
Moving On to an SUV
I started wanting a truck but wasn’t ready for a Suburban or Escalade size, and I was also looking at a few pickup options like the F-150, but the Lightning was still out of my league. I always liked the look of …
Time to Go Topless
In 2014, I said goodbye to the SUV era and moved into a convertible, the Chrysler Crossfire Roadster. It’s a mystery car to some from the period when Mercedes owned Chrysler. Chrysler designed the body, but Mercedes built it in Germany …
Back to a Conversion Van
The same year my Mustang was put on hold due to a broken arm, I bought a 2005 GMC Savana conversion van built by Explorer so I could stop using my Crossfire for shows. For years I had been reading …
My AMSOIL Heritage: The Road So Far
When I look back over the years, my AMSOIL story is really the story of the vehicles that carried me through different seasons of life. Each one had a purpose: from daily drivers to show haulers, from film cars to road-trip companions, they all ended …
