Automotive Historians Name Aaron Severson’s Ate Up With Motor Website Winner of E.P. Ingersoll Award
Criticism is what we do around here. We critique cars, car companies, politicians, consumers and, of course, other automotive writers and publications. Of course if you’re negative about everything, you’re a curmudgeon, not a critic. Criticism, if it is to have any value, must be fair, willing to praise as well as to demerit. TTAC has taken its share of shots against automotive websites, traditional buff books and the Detroit daily newspapers. So much so, in fact, that some of our readers have offered their own criticism that we unduly snipe at others. I don’t agree with that criticism, but it is easy and tempting to dwell on the negative and there are indeed many worthy publications and writers that deserve to be praised as much as the hacks deserve to be exposed. When I read that Aaron Severson’s masterful automotive history site, Ate Up With Motor, has won the E.P. Ingersoll Award, given by the Society of Automotive Historians, it was not really a surprise. Ate Up With Motor is the gold standard for online automotive history.

What say you, TTACers? Imitation, inspiration, or idiocy?
Though Porsche is sparing no expense — and leaving no corner un-cut — breaking the hearts of their loyal fanbase, not everyone is willing to ride a diesel Panamera into the bleak lease-only future. Magnus Walker has come up with a unique aesthetic for the earliest Nine Elevens. He’s made an impression with a lot of people, he’s made more than a couple bucks doing it, and now he’s made a film.
