On road trips and bonding
Dutch Mandel's March 31 column on his Mini road trip reminded me how great it is to bond with our youth. When I take my grandson, 14, on road trips, we laugh and explore new experiences for him, and new (and old) experiences for me. Whether to the tracks at Willow Springs or Sears Point, or Napa Valley overnight, the two of us find new meaning in life (and cars).
My wife and I have raised five daughters and they bring a lot of joy, but put two guys in a car, and life is sweet.

In 1969 I ordered a new VW Beetle in Iowa and picked it up at the factory in Wolfsburg. I lived in that car for eight weeks, putting 14,000 miles on it throughout Europe, taking in a number of F1 races and Le Mans. Then I had the car shipped to Chicago, where I walked miles from the bus depot (saving taxi fare) to the dock to pick it up.

FLORADAY: My initial impressions were pretty good. The car seems a bit larger than some of the competition, and that might be a bonus to some shoppers. This GTS is the top-of-the-line (short of the forthcoming Evolution) model, carrying with it a corresponding price. I suppose $22,000 isn't

RAYNAL: This weekend had each kid doing a different sporting activity, seemingly at the same time, so there was a lot of hauling of people and equipment going on. I couldn't have asked for a better car in which to do that. The Outlook's ride is good, the power is decent, the transmission is smooth

WONG: The Trak Pak is Roush's attempt at a Mustang that's a capable track warrior but also can be used every day. With adjustable shocks and camber plates, owners can dial in stiff setups at the track; everything can get softened up for drives home without discomfort. The huge, supercharged V8
