Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

We take our chocolate Lab to work every day, and in fact we bought our 2024 2-door Wrangler for this exact purpose (plus all the various outing we do with him). We whipped out the back seat on day 1 and installed a Dirty Dog barrier behind the front seats, a Rugged Ridge cargo liner, and a Kong dog bed. He’s happy as a clam back there, but boy has he ever filthed it up!
It's fitting that such an insightful, thought-provoking piece of blogger effluence as this will be Timmy's last-ever "article" on TTAC.
