As evidenced in post with the Jimny in Iceland, it’s a fantastic platform that’s truly as good as the automotive press says it is. Now, put your tinfoil hats on as I explore an admittedly far-fetched idea. Suzuki withdrew…

On the 20th Anniversary of R2R (Return to Roswell), which also is the final year for the beloved VW Beetle, we took a Final Edition convertible to the event. The first year I brought our pre-owned ’02 Double Yellow Color Concept (DBCC in VW speak), which was a Christmas…

I can’t always work on the cars, hitting up trails with friends or spending the weekend camping, nor does my wife approve of me amassing multiple cars. While I’ve spent many hours discussing obscure cars I’d love to own or projects…
