In a recently released video Lexus is trying to change the way we judge our Super Cars. The video shows the new Lexus LFA’s “sound” busting a champagne glass.  I’m not sure if the car would actually do this, but whatever.  Lexus, just because you make a bunch of cool speakers on the same island [...]

The greatest shirt company in the world is about to launch.  Yeah, I know, I run the company but that just makes me biased, not a liar.  It is going to be the “greatest thing since after market exhaust”. “Hey that could be a t-shirt”.  Do you ever find yourself saying that?  If so, you [...]

Sunday the 1970 Karmann Ghia convertible successfully made a 4-hour round trip to and from Loveland, CO.  I am officially calling this car road’able.  Some of you may remember that this car met a firey end on its last trip to Loveland.  Until Sunday my wife and I were very nervous about taking it too [...]

Let’s start this off by telling your it was about 25 degrees in my garage when I started this. A fresh coat of snow blanketed my driveway. So first things first. An hour before I was ready to get started I fired up the propane heater. A nice toasty garage is a must. After that [...]

New parts ordered today…I went with the Smurf Blue.  Should be here in a few days from Temecula, CA

The Hankook snow tires have been on for about 32oo miles and yesterday I got the chance to rotate them.  While working this process I check the tire pressure.  Turned out the “tire monkeys” at Peerless tire set the tires at 28psi.  All along I thought the loss of grip was due to the sipping [...]

I swear this guy always parks next to my Mini at the grocery store.
