I pray this finds everyone healthy and safe from the global pandemic we are facing. Home quarantine had its perks during the first week, as I locked myself in my shop and never looked back. Then the reality of our business not generating ANY income right now set in and promptly removed the fun out of shop time.
During that first week, though, I was able to gi...
I understand that we all have a passion for cars, or I wouldn’t be writing this article, and you wouldn’t be reading it. I understand that some of us get obsessive and even excessive with our cars. I also understand that our cars are supposed to bring us joy and take us away from the stresses of life.
To the average person, tools are metal objects that are kept in a toolbox and occasionally used to hang a picture or tighten a loose screw. To a gearhead, tools are like food and water – basic necessities.
We’ve all had to make extremely hard decisions when it comes to our cars. Perhaps the most difficult ones are those that will affect the look of the car permanently.
This past month I’ve been traveling quite a bit to work on cars outside of my home shop. It’s no secret that I’m an obsessive-compulsive, anal detail freak, who has an out-of-control tool addiction. Throughout my travels, I’ve visited and worked in shops of all shapes and sizes and surprisingly found they all have one thing in common.
Whether it’s a smal...

It’s truly been an honor meeting so many fellow gearheads and having the opportunity to share all of your great stories. We are looking forward to connecting with more new faces this year and with the help of our members, showcasing more amazing cars. We want to feature your...
In the high-tech, fast paced world we live in today, people have grown accustomed to getting what they want, when they want it! Instant gratification is the name of this new game, and technology has enabled us to shop online, in the convenience of our homes, any time of the day or night. With the added luxury of next day shipping delivering packages directly...
As a gearhead we have this unexplainable addiction for more. More tools, more horsepower, more stopping power, more traction, more timing, more compression, more fuel, more shine, the list goes on and on. My first encounter with this phenomenon came at a very early age. One of my friends was fortunate enough to get a new Schwinn bicycle for his birthday. Thi...
I pray that everyone is enjoying their summer. After all, it is the time of the year when we truly get to enjoy our passion for motorsports. This past June I was able to escape for a few days with a buddy and our families to attend a Harley rally in Lake George, NY. For those of you who have never heard of Lake George, it is known as the queen of all lakes a...
A car hauler is a very handy piece of equipment for any serious gearhead. I was blessed to have been able to borrow an open trailer from one of my buddies for a season. Besides costing a lot less money, an open trailer has a few other benefits. The trailer that I borrowed did not have a solid deck. It had two ramps that went up the sides leaving the center s...
