Michael Frank

Michael Frank's first test drive was in an E39 5 Series, and from that first blush, he's been hooked on the automotive beat. He's reported for Coolhunting, The Drive, Road & Track, Car & Driver, Hagerty, The Robb Report, and many other outlets. Find him posting (when he gets around to it) on social media @mfwords...and almost never updating his personal website.
