Q&A with Author

In Conversation With Arthur

A little about me!

I've been fascinated by cars for as long as I can remember. That fascination became a career more than 40 years ago, first as an automotive journalist and later in a variety of roles across the industry. Along the way, I've covered everything from new vehicle launches and motorsports to ownership, maintenance, and emerging automotive technology. Whether I'm reviewing a vehicle or explaining the shipping process, my goal is to provide honest, practical information that helps readers make informed decisions.

What was the first car I bought?

I'll skip over the inexpensive beaters my father helped me buy and tell you about the first car I purchased entirely on my own: a 1986 Toyota Corolla GT-S, better known today as the AE86. It wasn't the fastest car on the road, but it was light, balanced, reliable, and genuinely fun to drive. Looking back, it taught me that great cars aren't always defined by horsepower or price.

What's my dream car?

The Ferrari F40. It represents everything I admire about great automotive engineering: lightweight, purposeful, and uncompromising. Built to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary, it was the last model personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. No electronic driving aids, no unnecessary luxury, just a twin-turbo V8 and a singular focus on the driving experience.

What does car shipping mean to me?

I've spent much of my career working with vehicles that had to arrive at the right place, at the right time, and in perfect condition. Whether it was a press vehicle, a race car, a promotional display, or a customer's personal vehicle, dependable transportation was never optional. Professional auto transport is about more than moving a car - it's about trust. Owners deserve to know their vehicle will arrive safely, on schedule, and with the same care they would give it themselves.

Which Nexus audience do I connect with the most?

Anyone who cares about their vehicle. I've been an enthusiast, a journalist, an industry professional, and a consumer. I've bought cars, sold them, restored them, driven them across the country, and trusted someone else to transport them. Every situation is different, but the questions are often the same. That's why I write for Nexus Auto Transport. I enjoy helping people understand the process so they can ship their vehicle with confidence rather than uncertainty.
