Hi, I'm John—the voice behind Fine Automotive Times. My journey with cars started long before I could legally drive one. I grew up in a household where weekends meant oil changes, brake jobs, and the occasional ambitious engine rebuild that would stretch from Saturday morning to Sunday night. That garage became my classroom, and every project taught me that cars are more than machines—they're puzzles, passions, and sometimes, obsessions. After years of working professionally in the automotive space, I realized something was missing in the online conversation. Too many sites were either regurgitating press releases or getting lost in technical jargon that alienated everyday drivers. I wanted to create something different—a place where enthusiasm meets expertise, where you can find honest reviews, practical maintenance tips, and industry insights without the corporate polish or pretense. Fine Automotive Times was born from that vision. Whether you're shopping for your first car, restoring a classic in your driveway, or just curious about where the industry is headed with electric and autonomous vehicles, this is your space. I test, research, and write about everything from budget-friendly daily drivers to high-performance exotics, always with the same goal: helping you make smarter decisions and enjoy the ride. This isn't just another automotive blog. It's a community for people who believe that driving should be more than getting from point A to point B—it should be an experience worth savoring. Thanks for stopping by. Let's talk cars. — John Founder, Fine Automotive Times
