Two-seaters are in trouble. Or so claimed a piece in trade journal Automotive News. I came across the grim report just as I sat down to write the final chapter of our year with the Z4, and it was shocking to see that year-to-year sales of such cars as the Merc

Over the last year, the Boxster S has been living in our stable of long-term cars, and it's been like owning a powerful, well-mannered thoroughbred. It never tried to kill me despite occasional asinine behavior behind its wheel. I'd watch people pass the S in

It was Friday, a good day for Thai food, and I knew this great place across town with gorgeous waitresses and Singha on draft. I took a bunch of IT guys to lunch in an effort to shake a new iMac from their budget. Ply 'em with noodles and beer. We piled in the
