Lately I’ve been a horrible blogger, not just here but on all my sites. A few month ago our LostCoffee project went live and it’s been balls to the walls since then. I wanted to take a quick moment and post up about a few updates I did to the car. Since I’ve posted last [...]

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 [...]
