Zach Bowman has been scribbling about cars since 2007 as a way to fund his addiction to rusty projects. Though he's had a handful of features published in the likes of Sport Compact Car, Turbo and Traction, he moved to the Web in 2008 and never looked back. Bowman got his internet sea legs with Autofiends.com and DriverSide.com, though most recently spent his days as the managing editor of the WebRidesTV.com blog. He was proud to join Autoblog in the spring of 2010.
