3 Reasons The Ringbrother’s Cadillac Is
A few days ago Jay Leno’s Garage featured a technological marvel. A Ringbrother’s creation, it’s a 1948 Cadillac with modern Cadillac engine, suspension and interior. Essentially creating a modern vehicle inside a classic shell – always a great idea for car modifiers and restorers and one of the most difficult types of jobs to pull […]
Haro Echter’s BMW 3.0 CSL
I do not always expect to feature automotive royalty on this website, and more importantly I do not always expect to have access to a man as knowledgeable and as gracious with the information he has as I do here, so it is important to treat this issue with high respect. To begin, a short […]
Caigarage’s Corona ‘Sleeper’
Here is a typical ’80s Toyota Corona ‘Wedge’ in royal blue. I learned how to drive in one of these things so I’m very familiar with it. It was very under powered (but I was young so everything was under powered). But most of all I remember it to be the perfect example of the word […]

Chanced upon this beauty of a photo gallery featuring the restoration of a 1955 Messerschmitt KR200. It had great images that recorded the process from this: To this: this:
Thoughts On The New VW ID Buzz Concept

It’s the latest VW Microbus Concept called the ‘ID Buzz’, which is a weird name but since it’s a concept will probably change later along with any other technical details they might wish to add or remove. Car manufacturers launch concept vehicles to the […]

After reading the comments it turned out to be a Reproduction DKW 175 VS fitted with a Honda TMX 155 engine. I asked the owner for an interview and he gladly obliged. But first, […]
‘That Zebra Should Be Dead’ & Other Thou
So here are my thoughts on some band’s latest video featuring some girl and some car. This is my favorite Rolling Stones era, in the early years playing the blues as unabashed Muddy Waters and Eddie Taylor zealots. Here’s the orig: Personal note: It is a type of music I have learned to appreciate as I have gone […]
Baguio Gets It Right: Sets Example for o...
A Mr. Rivera on FB reported on something we very rarely if ever hear about: Government working with Car Enthusiasts, and not against. On Nov. 20, the Baguio Midland Courier published an article stating that ‘City suspends number coding for Beetle Cars from Dec. 5 to 9‘. This Administrative Order 155 allows VW vehicles exception from […]
So Active Rollbars Actually Work!
Just saw this pic on Instagram, of a Porsche cabriolet reported to have spun thrice but was still able to survive because of the automatic rollover bars that pop out immediately when this happens. The roll bars essentially make up for the rigidity lost when a car doesn’t have a roof. As they are ugly they […]
