The Wild Wild Westfalia
Photo Source I have always wondered what my zombie apocalypse vehicle would be. There are some pretty cool armored trucks from the super cool Steel Wheels 4x4, to converted RVs and GMC box trucks, to a real-life version of the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle from the movie Stripes. However, for my money, the coolest way to [...]
Franken-Porsche
Photo Source Last year, Rod Emory, one of the premiere Porsche customizers in the entire world, completed his build of the fastest 356 to ever put tire to road. Despite its appearances and its title year, it really is not a 1960 356 at all outside of the main body and major chassis components. In fact, [...]
Speaking of Bentley...
Photo Source Speaking of Bentley, during my research about the Continental GT, I came across an interesting bit of trivia. Everyone knows Bentley for their bespoke vehicles that are tailor-made for each owner, but it is a lesser-known fact that the early Bentleys of the 1920s were world-class race cars as well. From 1927 to 1930, Bentleys [...]
Not your Daddy’s hybrid
There are some cars that just don’t feel like they need a hybrid version. I get having a sedan or even a small SUV that runs on a hybrid system, but vehicles like the Suburban Hybrid have always left me scratching my head. There is another head-scratcher that I’ve always been up in the air [...]
Let go of my LEGO!
There are lots of great things about having kids. One of the best things is getting to revisit activities and toys that I haven’t seen since I was young. I’ve always been a huge fan of LEGO, and I got my son into building sets when he was around three or four years old. Since [...]
Cruising Through the New Normal
Recently, given the new normal in the time that we’re living through, I have been going for long drives every two or three days. As a stay-at-home dad and an online writing teacher, I hardly do any driving anymore as it is, but being told that I can’t leave my home has only made me [...]
The Outer Banks in a “Sloop John B”
It has been quite a while since we’ve shown love to the VW Bus here at the blog, but I saw one recently that was utterly inspiring. Netflix has a new show, Outer Banks, about a group of teenage treasure hunters at the North Carolina coast who get caught up in a murder mystery and [...]
A 911 Emergency
Dear readers, this past week has been a long year. Last Monday feels like ages ago, and our new normal, with all of the uncertainty, can certainly feel quite abnormal. However, I spotted a ray of sunshine a few days back, and it gave me so much more hope and enthusiasm than was probably warranted. [...]
Skyline Drive
Hello again, dear readers! Quarantine has given me lots of time to reminisce on past glories. About three years ago, I had the opportunity to turn a long-shot failure into present-day victory. It all centered around a 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GTR.During my youth, I was a hardcore boy racer. My friends and I all [...]
I’ll Be a Bad Boy for Life
Happy Monday, dear readers! We hope everyone had an excellent Easter weekend. Hopefully everyone enjoyed some merriment or restful leisure. I had the opportunity to watch the newBad Boys for Lifefilm, the latest in the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence-helmed action comedy franchise. The films have always been a masterclass in over-the-top stunts and outrageous [...]
