David E. Davis, Jr., Hero, Died Last Week

David E. Davis, Jr. photo on AutomobileMag.com

David E. Davis, Jr. died March 27, 2011 at age 80 after a battle with bladder cancer. Davis was an automotive hero. A little over 25 years ago I met Davis through the pages of his newly minted Automobile Magazine. His writing and editing were brilliant and funny and unlike anything else out there. The magazine was devoted, of course, to the love of cars but also to the great places, events and friends that cars enable us to visit. Davis worked at Motor Trend in the 50's then as editor of Car & Driver through the 60's & 70's. Davis was good friends with racing legends like Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss and Phil Hill and he made them our friends too.

I kept the inaugural issue of Automobile for decades and am sad that I can't find it today upon hearing of our loss of Davis--Frank

Dario Franchitti Walks Away from Indy Car Pack at St. Petersburg Gran Prix

Dario Franchitti in the Target Chip Ganassi Racing Indy Car

Dario Franchitti and the Target Chip Ganassi Racing Team simply walked away from every other Indy Car in today's St. Petersberg (Florida) Gran Prix. He led nearly the entire race and in the last few laps, ahead of 2nd place Will Power by over 10 seconds (an eternity in race time), he was able to back off and coast to victory.

The real race was between 3rd & 4th place finishers Tony Kanaan & Simona de Silvestro (yeah, a woman--cute too.)

Simona de Silvestro

Dario won last year's Indy Championship, and in 2009 and 2007. He's off to a great start this year. Did we mention he's married to Ashley Judd?

USS Macon in Hangar One Near Almost Everything Autobody

USS Macon (ZRS-5) at Hangar One, Moffett Field, California, 1933

Great photo found at the site of Go Away Garage of the USS Macon dirigible at Hangar One in Moffet Field, Mountain View, California, just a few miles from Almost Everything Autobody. The photo is from 1933, about 2 years before the Macon was lost at sea (and 75 years before our shop was opened.) The Macon was just 20 feet shorter than the Hindenburg. She carried several airplanes inside her frame and could launch them in mid-air as a floating aircraft carrier.

Richard Branson videos of his Virgin Galactic Commercial Spaceflight Service. Sign us up! Thanks for naming the first Virgin Star Ship the "Enterprise." And thanks for visionary hero Dick Rutan & his team for being our non-fictional Zefram Cochrane. Maybe the ship I ride in can be the "Space Clipper."
