Welcome to my blog

 Welcome, all! My name is Joe Swenson and I have Autism. I am extremely obsessed with cars and want to become an automotive journalist. So this blog is here to give me some practice. With that intro out of the way, here's some facts about my taste in cars. My dream car is a VW Beetle, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a Fiat Multipla (pre-facelift). My favorite Dodge Charger is the Shelby GLHS turbo. It doesn't matter that it's front wheel drive and doesn't have a V8,what matters is that it seems to be fun to drive and still keeps the sports car nature of the original. I haven't driven anything outside of a DMV training Chevy and my Mom's Caravan ,so I wouldn't know. My favorite Mustang is the Mclaren M81. My favorite Camaro is the 1992-2002 "Catfish" Camaro because of how easy to tune it is. Hopefully this helps you realize, I like weird,quirky cars. I am not a sucker for supercars, Numbers on a sheet don't mean a thing if it's not fun to drive as well as being fast. For styling, I love the chrome and finned '50s,but hate the "high-tech" (I.E generic) look most new cars have.  And for engines, I don't hate electric cars, but I much prefer gas. My favorite engine ever built was the Cosworth DFV Formula 1 racing engine. My least favorite without a doubt is the Volkswagen "clean" diesel that caused the emission scandel. My favorite General Motors brand is Buick, for Chrysler I like Eagle, and Merkur for Ford. They're also all dead due to budget reasons. My favorite car movie is The Love Bug. My favorite F1 team was Team Lotus but because they no longer exist,I like Scuderia Ferrari. My favorite driver is Lewis Hamilton. Finally, my favorite modification type is the hot rod style and my least favorite is the donk/giant wheels style. So hopefully this little intro helps you learn more about me and the types of car stuff I cover.
