AARON TURPEN
Car Test Drive Expert ( Twitter )

An automotive enthusiast for most of his adult life, Aaron has worked in and around the industry in many ways. He is an accredited member of the International Motor Press Association (IMPA) and of the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press (RMAP) and freelances as a writer and journalist around the Web and in print.  His writing ranges from do-it-yourself (DIY) mechanics to coverage of design as well as a look at future powertrain technologies.  He has experience over the road as a professional truck driver and has test driven vehicles ranging from full-sized, 80,000 pound tractor-trailer rigs to tiny Fiat 500 city cars.

His first car was a 1984 Toyota Corolla which he called “The Golden Yoda.” Aaron often drove the car well beyond manufacturer’s intended limits, including a stint once to see how fast it would go in reverse. The cop that pulled him over said he was doing 17 mph.

His dream cars are a Mercedes-Benz Unimog, preferably from the 1960s or 1970s, and a Citroen 2CV (Deux Chevaux).

JOHN GOREHAM
Car Test Drive Expert ( Twitter )

John Goreham is a life-long car nut and recovering engineer. In addition to reviews and opinion stories, John likes to cover green vehicle and vehicle safety topics. In the early 1990s, he was part of a team that built a solar-electric race car from scratch. For 20 years he applied his engineering and sales talents in the high tech and bio-pharma industries, and published numerous articles in technical journals such as Chemical Processing Magazine. In 2008 he retired from that career and dedicated himself to chasing his dream of being an auto writer.

John has owned a number of fun cars, including a Mazda Miata, Toyota Supra, Honda Civic Si and Lexus IS 350 convertible. His current rides include an ’07 Highlander and ’16 Forester. Fun fact: John’s first new vehicle purchase, a 1990 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, came with roll-up windows and no radio.
