In 1964, Motor Trend's Car of the Year award went to the entire Ford lineup, recognizing its combination of design, engineering excellence, and performance. In 1970, we gave the nod to the Ford Torino, which could be ordered in a wide variety of configurations. Forty years ago, buyers could choose from economical, six-cylinder-powered sedans to the dragstrip-ready 429 Super Cobra Jet fastback.

I'm now driving Lavar Arrington's old Maserati. I know, it's kind of like vehicular sloppy seconds, but for a holdover car it'll do for the next couple months. Somewhere in the middle of the 2006 season I started working with Eastern Motors, thus getting awesome cars to drive around for free - and by working I really mean driving their car and pretty much doing nothing else.

We are preparing for the second annual Redskins Rides Car Show. This event not only features classic and exotic cars- Redskins players bring out their rides so that fans and car enthusiasts alike can come together for a fun family event that benefits charity!Last year, over 3,000 people attended Redskins Rides at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Virginia. This year, the turnout is expected to be even

Have you ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong? Yesterday, it happened to me. I woke up bright and early thinking it would be nice to start the day with a little work out. But after looking at my clock I realized that I had slept about 45 minutes longer than I had planned. After rushing to get dressed, I hurried and made breakfast and headed over to pick up some dry

The Washington Capitals are preparing to take on the Penguins in game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. If they win it they will be on track to have a story book season with Alex Ovechkin playing the role of the main character. So how many characters can the Great 8 play? We've seen him on the jumbotron at the games as the "Russian Machine" we've seen him try his hand at football, but now,

I have never planned, or helped plan, an event like the one we hosted last night. The reason we did this was really my mom's idea. She recently went to a similar event in Winchester and loved it enough to want to do the same thing. We got to talking about the details and soon enough it went from a small get together to what we had last night. Which was amazing. Earlier in the day yesterday Chris

The out takes from this Eastern Motors commercial have been a huge hit. But now its time for the real deal. Check out Ovechkin in the newest commercial. Will he make the team? Watch and find out.Also, make sure to check out Easterns Hyundai of Leesburg.

Yesterday Eastern Motors and Gearshift Productions shot a commercial with their newest star, Alex Ovechkin. The shoot, like all of them, was very light hearted. It was also very destructive. There were pucks and footballs flying, stick thrown down, helmets smashed, and even some friendly competition between #8 and #47. Check out the preview of what will surely be an awesome commercial..

As we all know, Eastern Motors makes commercials featuring the top athletes in the DC area. Considering the fact that DC is home to the best hockey player in the world, it only makes sense that Easterns would feature him at some point in one of those commercials.  Soon, we will all get to see Washington Capital's Alex Ovechkin singing "At Eastern Motors....Your job's your credit." So prepare

In the recent weeks I have become friends with Washington Capitals Donald Brashear. Besides being an awesome hockey player and a longtime veteran, he drive a badass Lamborghini. This doesn't have a lot to do with Eastern Motors, but it is worth sharing none the less.For a more family friendly car, check out the car of the year for 2009, the Hyundai Genesis.

If you live in a cave there is a small chance that you didn't hear the recent news that Brett Favre retired...again. If you didn't, he is "officially" retiring.After I heard his name nearly 96,000 times in the one hour episode of Sports Center and reading some of the 46 articles written about him today I started wondering, what kind of car does Favre drive? After about 10 pages of google searches

Eastern Motors knows how to do things big. And that's what they did at the 2009 DC Auto Show. Their cars included a Rolls Royce Phantom, 2 Ferrari's, a Lamborghini, a Maserati, Mercedes CL 65, and more! Check 'em out for yourself and you will know what I mean by doing it BIG.Not only did they do it big with their cars, Easterns also brought in Jason Campbell, Antwaan Randle El, and the Redskins

Last week we took a look at what consumerreport.com said were some of the Best Cars in 2009. As great as that is Best Cars don't mean fuel efficient cars. In a year that fuel costs rose to over $4 per gallon, I feel like fuel economy is the most important thing to look at when buying a car. There is a great site out there for all your fuel economy tips. It covers benefits from: driving sensibly,

The auto industry has obviously been hit hard in the recent months. With a new man in charge maybe some of that will change. As it currently stands however, things suck. So to try and shed a brighter light on the auto industry, we will take a look at the top cars in 2009 from consumerreports.org. Best in class: Family-friendly vehicles.

Eastern Motors story of the fall, at least here, was the campaign to give away a Redskins Super Ride if all of their players scored. Considering the Redskins offense ranked 28 in PPG with 16.8, the chance of 4 different players scoring were very slim. Throw in that Jason Campbell's touchdown had to be done on the ground and odds go down even more. Given all of this, last Sunday vs. the 49'ers,

The holiday season, oh what a wonderful time of the year! Its always the time for family, friends, gift giving, but best of all, holiday parties. I have been to my fair share of them this year and most have been a few drinks, some finger food, maybe a little drunk karaoke and then call it a night. That's not how Eastern Motors does things. Their party, at Dave and Busters, was the epitome of all

Last night I attended the Sean Taylor tribute auction at The Original Steakhouse. The crazy thing about last night was that I had no idea of what to expect going in. My wife and I showed up and the first thing I saw were the three cars parked out front that were up for sale. It's crazy for me to think that at one point those cars were Sean's...Once we were inside the place was filled with some

When I was a senior in high school I spent nearly 12 hours in my basement watching the 2004 NFL draft. My brother (Chris) had just returned from a disappointing trip to Dallas (the trip where Bill Parcels said he would be nothing more than a decent special teamer in the league) and knew that if he was going to go anywhere it would likely be Washington. Well as fate would have it, the Washington

A few bits of news that are Easterns related this week. First, two of Eastern Motors own spent their bye week together in Disney World. Yeah that's right, Chris Cooley and Jason Campbell decided against spending their free time in Hawaii, California, or the Bahamas (wouldn't that be rough). Instead decided to take a ride on the "Rockin' Roller Coaster." The trip looked like fun and I'm glad these

Since our relationship with Yardbarker has started I have been reading plenty of athlete blogs that I never knew existed. One of those has been tight end Vernon Davis's which three days ago he wrote this Coach Singletary brings a lot of energy. His speeches, they really seem to touch the team. If you look at some of the guys faces they really are tuned in to what he's saying. They might be like a

Want to win a Super Ride? Easterns has teamed up with their players to give you a chance to do just that. Here’s how it works, the first game that Jason Campbell, Clinton Portis, Chris Cooley, and Antwaan Randel El all score either rushing or receiving touchdowns, a registered name will be chosen. The winner will then pick which Super Ride they want to own…NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. In addition to

On thecooleyzone.com Chris got over 50 Redskins license plates which I thought were all amazing. I also asked people to send in their non-skins plates to see what else was out there. Here are some good ones. Thanks everyone for sending in your pictures and make sure to vote on your favorite new Easterns Commercial.

Well we are about to find out because on Chris’s blog, he has asked fans to send in pictures of their most creative Redskins tags.

How sweet it was to hit the streets in that first ride? For me it was a Green, 1994 Plymouth Sundance (obviously not the green one seen here). I drove it into the ground never once thinking that the NFL stars I idolized as a kid drove the same beater cars as my friends and I. But I guess that a 16 year old kid is a 16 year old kid, future pro or not. So if you feel like you need to be on "Pimp
