Lawrence Romanosky is a Calgary based 'car guy' who has broad-based automotive interests including the automobile's social history and affect on civilization. This blog features a wide selection of automotive articles, broken down into sections, ranging from the the adoption of EVs to the impact of the Ford Model T, and just about everything in between.
You can tell a lot about a person by what they drive or have driven. In this case this list of classic cars that I have owned speaks to my tolerance of inconvenient surprises. The immersion into each of these vehicles has taught patience and cultivated eternal optimism.
