Let’s face it, our thing isn’t exactly swimming in variety in terms of aftermarket parts or quality custom modding. Sure, there are ways to make things work, especially if you are an experienced metal fabricator with some basic engineering knowledge, but for the most part a lot of us have to rely on people far…

Zimno!!!
So we didn’t get the SNOWPOCALYPSE that they’ve been predicting the past few days. That said, we simultaneously had a full day of rain and then temps dropped into freezing and then it snowed. That sucks the balls. We are currently at 9°F (-12°C) with and it is supposed to hit -10°F (-22°C) tonight. What is…

Barret-Jackson’d out!
I am so Barrett-Jackson 2019 Scottsdale burnt out it isn’t funny. Now I don’t watch it live. That would be torture given how many hours of coverage airs on television as well as the number of cars that I get so bored with. After the 1000th boring Camaro, Chevelle, and Mustang roles across one kind…

Possible future guages.
So I’ve been jotting down ideas for the interior, especially the dashboard and gauges for future Żuczek and I keep coming back to the Dakota Digital 1958-77 Volkswagen Beetle Digital Instruments cluster, which is more or less a drop in set of gauges and sending units. Now the only color output options are blue or teal, which…

All the stuff to do in The Garage of Love™ (Video)
There so much to do in cleaning up the disaster that is the current state of The Garage of Love™.

Snow. Snow. More snow.
So we were supposed to drive up to Toledo to finally have “Christmas” and unfortunately, the weather does not look like it will cooperate. Some forecasts show 1-3″ of snow starting tomorrow and then another 6-9″ on Saturday. That makes the 150 or so miles to drive pretty crappy. I already had Friday scheduled off…

Insert Fantasy Vintage VW Car Show Name Here
So most people that know me well know that I tend to not see the world through what most people would call “normal eyes”. Internally I often mix and match genres and styles, mentally creating odd and often absurd ideas that are quite frankly best left to myself for fear of being shackled and taken…

Our first snowfall of the season.
We’ve had some barely flurrying moments over December but this is the first real snowfall we’ve seen all season. The powers that be are predicting about 4″ of snow by tomorrow evening. Nothing major but still, Central Ohio hasn’t seen much in the way of snow over the past few years. I will need to…

I can haz Snap-On flashlight!
I’m not sure if he got me this out of guilt (of not ever getting me Christmas presents) or what but my son got me a Snap-On 700 Lumen Project Light from his drug dealer, er… his Snap-On Man Salesman. I have to admit it is pretty nice and top quality. And damn is is bright….

Graveyard Carz is so painful to watch.
I watch a lot of what is basically “automotive television” and really enjoy series that do a great job focusing mostly on the auto work and getting the amount of “on-screen personality” of the people on the show just right. I imagine it is not easy to develop given that most people should never ever…
