Howdy, campers. Unofficially, summer ends this weekend. Bummer! Of course, from a meteorological standpoint, you still have a few weeks left before fall, um, falls.

As is usually the the case around these here parts, we’re gonna shut it down a bit early today to get a head start on the last long weekend until Thanksgiving. We have meat to grill, miles to travel, and beers to drink (though not if we’re driving).

Be safe out there. There may be a few posts here and there over the long weekend, and we’ll be back at full speed on Tuesday.

Until then, don’t work too hard! Har har…

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    My grandparents had a Lassie Collie that I use to take for rides in my granddad's 63 IH pickup--she was a nice dog and well behaved.
