MATT BUBBERS
Matt Bubbers is a car critic and columnist who, for the last 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 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 or 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.
KRISTIN PITMAN
EMILY ATKINS
Kristin is the Social Media Manager for VICARIOUS Magazine, and the creator of The Delilah Blog - a lifestyle blog that has successfully grown a social media following across multiple platforms (IG: @thedelilahblog, TT: @kristin.pitman). Having these platforms has afforded her the opportunity to work with many different automotive companies over the years, and given her the hunger to learn (and drive) more. She is equally comfortable driving a manual transmission or the latest automatic tech. Kristin has a Bachelor of Music with a minor in English and a Master of Theological Studies. She and her husband Dave have two young kids, which gives her a unique perspective as she experiences and writes about each vehicle from that lens.
Emily is happiest behind the wheel, preferably of something quick. A journalist since the age of about 8, she's been writing about cars for 15 years, funding her passion for racing. Emily competes whenever she can and has racked up numerous road racing championship trophies in her beloved #17 1994 Eurospec M3. Her journalism career has spanned three continents and numerous subject areas including logistics, waste management and insurance claims, but the best parts have been writing about cars for (among others) the Globe and Mail , Toronto Star , Automotive News Canada , CAA , Fleet Management magazine and Canadian Automotive Fleet magazine , and of course, VICARIOUS ! Emily lives in eastern Ontario and when she's not at the wheel or writing, she spends her free time singing in her band or outdoors skiing, cycling, kayaking and taking photos of the natural world.
