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.

- 28-Cars-Later Suggestion for future QOTD: Given the fact US road infrastructure is crumbling around us why must all new cars have 20+ inch wheels with tires an inch or two thick in sidewall which literally become bent over time bc of potholes? I know initially in the 90s wheels got bigger to accommodate larger disc brakes but its gone a little too far given the road infrastructure don't ya think?

- SCE to AUX I can't warm up to the new look. Still prefer my 22 SF.
- SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.

A few general comments about extensively modified cars.
I watch a very successful Internet auction site daily, when dozens of cars are sold, or not sold (if they do not meet reserve).
Very frequently cars with extensive modifications fail to sell because they did not meet their owner's reserve price.
Buyers are wise to avoid those cars like the plague. First of all, one owner's modification is another's automotive atrocity. This is especially true with Exotic Supercars like ROlls ROyces, who are all essentially custom-made to their usually tasteless owner's (nouveaux riche) specs. Second, the modifications have most likely screwed up with the reliability of the car parts, and Third, if your state requires an inspection, usually engine modifications mess with it and you need to get certified again.
On top of all that, used car prices reached a peak LONG AGO and have been FALLING since. Most of Tim's worthless 'finds' here seem to come from a different planet, their owners seem clueless to the above FACT.
I cannot wait until the all black wheel trend goes away. I have only ever seen one car that looked good with black wheels. ICK
