About Jim Koscs

I’ve got 24 years in the car business.  Agency PR. Brand PR. Magazines. Trade newsletters. Newspaper. Read all the details.

I love the car business. If it weren’t my business, I’d probably still have a subscription to Automotive News. At four years old I was driving a Fireball 8 pedal car. At the 1968 New York Auto Show, I snuck away from my father to get a better look at a Rolls Royce — by crawling underneath it. When I was six, I could identify every current American car and most “foreign” cars — some even by sound.

The college years: 1970 Mustang Mach 1

First car, Fireball

I learned the “taillight trick” young and won some quarter bets naming the year, too. By the time I was eight, I knew Chevys, Fords and Cadillacs back to 1955, and I had a subscription to Motor Trend. My sixth-grade science project was a “car of the future” powered by a Wankel engine (well, to be accurate, a 1/18-scale cardboard model of a Wankel-powered car of the near future).

Why “AudaMotive?” (Rhymes with automotive.) “Auda” is my wife, Christine Auda. She’d been encouraging me to hang out my shingle since we’d met. Christine is an artist and writer … but most of all, she’s my inspiration and best friend.
