Matthew Skwarczek started blogging in 2015 and focuses his writing on motorcycles and engineering science. A graduate of Northwestern University, where he earned his Master’s in Chemical Engineering, Matthew served as an applications engineer for BASF before joining MotorBiscuit in 2019.
In Matthew’s words, the visceral nature of riding requires you to be in the moment. Combined with his fascination in the analytics surrounding the building and designing of cars and bikes, both modern and classic, you’ll find his voice blends functionality and phenomena. He rides motorcycles and bicycles often, photographing them as well.
Matthew has contributed to Oppositelock and is now an alumnus. He plays Dungeons & Dragons and reads sci-fi and fantasy in his spare time, and appreciates the works of Peter Egan, Sam Smith, Brandon Sanderson, and Alex Goy.

The 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO didn't look quite like the iconic classic. But with a 350- and later 400-hp V8, the modern Australian-built muscle car could outrun any vintage GTO. And examples are still affordable--case in point, this tastefully-modified 2004 GTO with a manual on Cars & Bids.

It's not the most extreme AMG SUV, but that's precisely what makes the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 so appealing. It's faster and sharper than the GLB 250 without being any less practical or less comfortable during commuting. The only problem is how much it costs with options.
