Muscle Cars Live!



It's good to know that Muscle Cars have not been sent to the grave yard by our recent financial crisis and oil prices. While it might not be the best practice to drive the wheels off of cars like the one in this video, it is still good to know they are there for those of us who love them.

Hot Wheels Jump



Honestly, if you are a guy that grew up in the 60's or 70's this is what you imagined when you ran that track off of your bed, down the stairs, over the jump and into the Lincoln Log house that you built shakily so it would crumble on the landing. You probably even reinforced the jump with Legos... tell the truth now, didn't you?

Bugatti Veyron



If you have a spare few million, this might be what you would like. Don't call us for the auto parts... although there is probably some good mark-up on those $4000 turn levers.

Driving Economically

Ferrari Through The Years



We don't sell auto parts for Ferrari's, but honestly how can you be a gearhead without at least some level of respect for the history. Although the video is actually a commercial for gasoline, I still found it entertaining. Listen to the evolution in the rev speed of the engine. I personally prefer the low rumble, but there are those who thrill to the high pitched menace of the modern F1 engines... it just makes me wince.

Sunday Drive with Mom



My last post was about the fear of heights, so I wanted to get us back on track (hehe) with this video of a sadistic guy who takes his mother to the track with him, and video tapes her reactions. I guess any time spent with your Mom is good, and this one trick could be used as a threat to get her off of your back for years. "Mom... should I get the keys again?"

P.S. What is it about road racers that thrive on the reactions of newbies the first time around the track?

Afraid of Heights?



I am afraid of heights and have wondered what it would be like working at the top of the cell tower behind our building. Here is a video that shows it... I still cannot imagine what it was like assembling it?

Why I love Muscle Cars


I can almost feel the G's pulling me back into the slick, vinyl bucket seat. I hear the roar that sounds like an active train wreck as the tires break loose, and then grab... throwing my head back. Somehow looking down past my horizontal cheek bones to see the top of the hood slowly settle out of the way. I am hoping the road is still lined up directly in front of the car because if not, it is too late to do anything about it. Does your Audi do that for you?

What Does This Have to do with Auto Parts?



Nothing, but I liked the video and I am in control... Even those who like Jimi Hendrix and Kenny Wayne Shepherd are likely to have a car, and that car will need service, and we will be here.

"I just hate to be in one corner. I hate to be put as only a guitar player, or either only as a songwriter, or only as a tap dancer. I like to move around." -Jimi Hendrix

Jill Reger Photos

Art Prints

If you love classic cars, take some time and visit this photographers web site. Jill Reger has an eye for the art form that is the automobile. I especially love her gallery of hood ornaments. The cost to buy prints of these works of art is extremely inexpensive and would make your office much classier with their inclusion.

Watch Out For That Car!!



One morning when I was sixteen and had just started driving I was out driving my sister to basketball practice. I had found a newly paved shortcut through a subdivision where they had cleared the lots, but not started any of the homes. It was a beautiful morning, the sun was just coming up and everything was is sharp contrast. Blue sky, green trees, black pavement, white curbs... and look at that rabbit running from the trees up there! Wow he is fast... watch out for that car! In my minds eye I can still see the new bump on the freshly paved road like it was yesterday. A red stripe punctuated on each side by a patch of brown fur, one with a white cottontail.

Luckily this squirrel makes it through almost unscathed. If you listen carefully you can hear him lose the last inch or two of his bushy tail, but he is still alive.

This Reminds Me of Someone


My wife has told me a story many times of how her parents had a succession of Volkswagen Bugs before she turned 16. She wanted to take one of them, remove the body and either make it into an open air dune buggy or a kit car Excaliber. This picture looks much like the kit she was wanting to get, and the driver looks quite a bit like her also. Add to that her single minded purpose of will and the foiled mobsters flying through the air are quite representative as well. Don't tell her I shared any of this...
