About Motoring Universe
Built for the Enthusiast, by the Enthusiast
Motoring Universe was born out of a simple idea, how can we bring everything motoring together, in a single place? Our goal was to create a world where anyone with a love for cars, trucks, classics, motorcycles, boats, racing, and just about anything with an engine, can come together and share our collective passion.
We've taken a rare approach in the world of automotive blogging. Instead of offering a common experience throughout, we've teamed up with enthusiasts just like you, to share their knowledge and love of motoring with the world. We have a growing number of dynamic, ever changing blogs covering everything from Porsche to 4x4s. With each community built for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts, we've created a universe of the best motoring blogs on the web.
Our mission is to bring the most informative, interactive, and enthusiast driven motoring content together in one place, for your enjoyment. We like to call Motoring Universe a uniquely common experience, because we know that whichever one of our sites you visit, you'll always know where to go, where to find the best discussions, and that you'll have the best news, updates, and interaction right at your fingertips. You'll see that all of our sites are constantly updated and monitored by dedicated enthusiasts with unique knowledge and insight. We would love nothing more than to share the experience of Motoring Universe with the world, and everyone who lives and breathes it as much as we do.
The Universe is still growing, so if you share our passion, please join us.
Phillip Fraser
Motoring Universe Co-Founder
Growing up I knew one thing was certain; I loved anything with an engine. I took apart my first engine at 10 and did my first oil change at 14. I quickly found that I could not get enough of it.
After high school, I took the normal college route and majored in business at Washington State University. After college I worked as a Financial Analyst an Investment Consulting firm for over 3 years, before Co-Founding Motoring Universe. In 2010, with blogging beginning to consume my time, I ventured out into the unknown with one goal; to ensure the success of Motoring Universe.

Motoring Universe Co-Founder
Growing up as the granddaughter of an imports mechanic and a fourth generation motorcycle rider it was unlikely that I would ever feel anything but love for cars and motorcycles. For my seventh birthday my grandparents gave me my first dirt bike and at 18 I started doing my own work on my car. In 2006 I bought my first street bike, which has brought a lot of joy (and speed) to my life.
I majored in business at Washington State University. After working for a short time in Human Resources I joined Phil at the Investment Consulting firm he was working for. I want to share my passion for speed and power with other enthusiasts and am so glad we have had the opportunity to create Motoring Universe to do exactly that.

It started with a Jeep. The red paint, the pristine interior, the way it felt when I sat inside. I was in heaven on my sixteenth birthday. I was in love.
I majored in economics at University of Oregon. After graduating from college I married my high school sweetheart, started my career, and began building a family. Three years later Motoring Universe was born, and I was sixteen again.
