There are times when someone has to disrupt the status quo. I met Jim Schafer and Jeff Walker from Mantiques Network a couple of years ago.

The RTW (Round-The-World) Spark Plug Holder comes complete with a cold-forged, 304 stainless steel multi-tool which allows you to swap out your spark plugs without […]
I have been celebrating National Collector Car Appreciation Day since it was first developed in 2010. This year Blacktop Magazine hosted the event at their headquarters in the Historic C.W.
