Chili Dip This chili dip is great for parties and football get-togethers. I've had this recipe for a long time. With just three ingredients, it's very easy to prepare. Delicious served warm with your favorite corn chips. Submitted by Judy H Updated on April 6, 2026

I have a confession to make: I’m a sucker for car stories. Almost every car has one. Some are happy, and some are sad. A few are delightful, and others are truly tragic. Stories add an element of humanity to this little hobby of ours, and enrich it in the process. Just like fine wine and stories about your high school football exploits, though, car stories seem to “improve” with age. And by “improve” I mean get a bit further from the actual event or events.

I was the Chief Judge at one of the fastest growing, well respected, well run, and, honestly, fun concours in the nation—the Audrain Concours. It’s held every October in Newport, Rhode Island. I have been the only Chief Judge at the Audrain Concours, and worked the first and through the  fifth events. We didn’t hold a Concours in the COVID times, but I was there for the substitute socially distanced driving event that was an absolute blast. Ultimately, I decided to stop being Chief Judge at Audrain.
