  • Search the web for professional videos of collector style vehicles that we think you will find interesting for a five to ten minute diversion during your day.
  • Update our gallery with cover art and photo spreads.

Additionally we hope you will use us as reference guide to:
  • Automobiles most of us can afford, under $20,000.  But more important, the combination of those under $20K that are stick shift and rear-wheel drive. Great Buys Under $20K
  • Resources we all need to navigate the world of automobiles such as DMVs, schools, museums, magazines, car buying portals, auction houses, etc.
  • The future of electric, hybrid and fuel cell cars and their makers.

In addition to the current issue and resources, you can look for Grusche's Gray Matter, a column of industry insight and interviews.  The goal is to provide a unique perspective to market challenges and opportunities based on a diverse portfolio of automotive experience.

The site will continue to grow and evolve as we explore and add new information that we believe will help you navigate the world of stick shift and rear-wheel drive automobiles.

Founder Statements
- This site was born out of my frustrations trying to find only stick shift RWD cars that might become my next purchase.  Every time I would go on the hunt, I'd forget that the Conquest TSi was a car I loved or the Lexus SC300 came with a straight six and stick.  I was constantly reinventing the searches and compiling all the sites and data that were important to me.  Furthermore, once I purchased a car it would take a lot of trial and error to learn the best forums, find parts or shops that specialize in my car.  Motor Car Market is our attempt to collect and organize all that information in a one stop shop. 

Career History - I'm fast approaching a 20 year career in the auto industry that began at Automobile Magazine with David E. Davis Jr. at the helmActually, it began sooner than that as the son of a career automotive man who worked at several top Detroit agencies on domestic and international business. He also ran the Hyundai advertising account during their hayday in the late 80's, early 90's.

Editor & Publisher
I was grandson to a factory worker who stamped body panels in 20 ton presses and always had a nack for cars.  His brother, my great Uncle, retired a career Ford employee after 40 years.  They both were a testament to their own father's dreams, my great grandfather, who brought his family over from Italy to Detroit to work at Ford for $5 a day. 

My career has been founded in the passion and family business of automotive that spans agency, manufacturer and interactive account work coupled with a BA in Marketing from Michigan State University.  On the agency side, I spent many years at organizations such as RPA on Honda and Acura sales training business, Bozell Detroit (now BBDO) on Chrysler and Jeep dealer business, plus The Cobalt Group on Mercedes-Benz and Subaru.  At eVox Productions, which specialized in 360-degree digital and CGI automotive photography, I strategically interfaced with internet data, buying portals and OEM marketing managers.

Devoted to stick shift and rear-wheel drive.
While at Kia Motors America, I had the opportunity to help bring the only automotive startup in America since Saturn to their nationwide expansion.  Currently, I am a partner at Ultramercial.  Ultramercial patented engagement-for-access advertising and has worked with almost all of the major auto manufacturers.  However, throughout this time my hobby and passion has always been collecting, driving, working on cars and painting.
