Le Cheval comparo
The Walnut Creek branch's offerings are blander and sloppier than Oakland's. End of review.
Automotive blog food fight
Well, there is that elephant in the room.
It would be entertaining if it weren't so sad for all the parties involved.
Synopsis: Jeff Glucker was a writer for Autoblog and had a side gig for a PR firm with Nissan as a client. Glucker posted a piece on Autoblog about Nissan without disclosing his relationship with Nissan. Jalopnik, Autoblog's competitor, dramatically and very publicly outed Glucker's conflict of interest. Autoblog, in damage control mode, quickly fired Glucker.
At least one writer for The Truth About Cars, a much smaller car blog with a very devoted following, has been aggressively injecting himself into the fracas, calling both Autoblog and Jalopnik out as shills for the auto industry.
Hooniverse, which Glucker had a large role in creating and developing, has been, so far, silent on the issue.
We can all agree that Glucker's lapse in judgment was significant. That he was fired may have been an overreaction.
The dust has not settled yet. Just remember to duck.
The Loneliest Road In America, next month
In May, I created a summer travel To Do list. Since then, I have visited a tremendous Maserati museum, a comprehensive Shelby collection, and witnessed Vettel's sole brain fart of the season in a wet Montreal. Wow, I am a lucky son of a gun.
Well, there remains one item on the list. A drive on Nevada's Highway 50. This will happen in October. The plan is to drive from California to Ely via 50. A quick tour of Great Basin National Park. And returning via Interstate 80, with a meal stop at a Basque eatery in Winnemucca. The highlight? I will be driving one of these cars!
Lamborghini Aventador review
Am not a modern Lamborghini fan, but this new model is definitely lust-worthy.
Little Prague, Davis
This Czech restaurant is by far the best eatery along the I-80 corridor between Sacramento and the Bay Area.
For $8.95, you can have this work of Bohemian art for lunch. The pork is roasted with a sausage inside. It comes with dumplings and sauerkraut on the side. A ladle of brown gravy covers (but does not drown) everything.
