CONTRIBUTORS
JEFF WILSON
MATTHEW NEUNDORF
Jeff Wilson is a producer with the Emmy-nominated production company Echo Bay Media, known for travel productions like Departures , Descending , Into the Rising Sun , and Over the Horizon , enjoyed around the world on Travel Channel, National Geographic, Netflix, and Discovery, to name a few. The team’s adventures have taken Jeff to Sudan, Djibouti, remote islands in Papua, and motorcycling across the Jordanian desert—although producing a culinary series in a 12th-century French château was decidedly more comfortable. Jeff’s passion for travel is only surpassed by his love of machines. He has spent the past dozen years sharing his award-winning photography and writing about cars, trucks, and motorcycles in several notable online and print publications. When not behind the camera or keyboard, Jeff is happiest behind the handlebars of a motorcycle or the wheel of a sports car, exploring places he’s never been, and immersing himself in local culture and cuisine.
Matt’s happy place is being behind the bars of a motorcycle, panniers dutifully packed with camping gear, and days of winding roads ahead. One part gear-head and one part wanderluster, Matt was naturally drawn to the world of automotive and motorcycle journalism to relay the stories of his travels and the machines that ferried him along the way. Matt has been working in the industry, mostly part-time, for two decades. He cut his editorial teeth working at The Truth About Cars and has been a contributor for The Toronto Star , Gear Patrol , Bike Exif , CraftRad Magazine and, of course, here at VICARIOUS . Born in Scarborough, Matt and his wife have recently moved to Northumberland County and thanks in large part to the amazing, undulating roads that surround them, are never moving back.
MATT BUBBERS
Matt Bubbers is a car critic and columnist who, for the past decade, has covered cars, culture, public policy, the auto industry, and the (increasingly electric) future of transportation for The Globe and Mail and Sharp magazine. His work has also appeared in a variety of publications throughout the U.S. and Canada, including CAA , Hagerty , Sotheby’s , Jalopnik , AutoTrader , Autoweek , and, of course, here at VICARIOUS . His story about tracing the route of the Targa Florio through Sicily was nominated for a National Magazine Award in 2013. This job takes him to far-flung places to drive far-flung exotic cars—often around racetracks, over sand dunes, or across frozen lakes. When not travelling on assignment, he’s at home with his family in Toronto, trying (but mostly failing) to maintain a garage full of needy old cars and an impulsively purchased motorcycle. Yes, he knows he has the best job in the world—and no, he doesn’t have a favourite car.
