Park Road 4

If you’ve never been to Inks Lake state park it’s worth a visit. Even if the only reason is to drive Park Rd 4! The road is located in Texas Hill Country region 4, about 8 miles north of Marble Falls and 9 miles west of Burnet.

Cow Creek Rd

People sometimes ask if I know any good driving roads… Heck yeah I do! Cow Creek Rd is the first in a series of fun to drive roads I’ll be documenting. Fun fact, it follows a creek named Cow! The road is located in Texas Hill Country region 4, about 6 miles west of Lago […]

COVID Car Shopping

The year is 2020. People are obsessed with a documentary about a homosexual zookeeper who uses meth and tigers to seduce straight men, and a deadly virus is sweeping the globe. Governments all around the world have shut down businesses deemed non-essential. Only stores that provide necessities remain open, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, car […]

Prevent a Chip from Cracking Your Windshield

It happened again… On my way home a truck kicked up a pebble and it smacked into my windshield, leaving a chip and the beginnings of a crack. This is the fourth time its happened on this car. Fortunately, I’ve been able to fix them before the crack spread. I keep a couple of these […]

12v Electric Oil Change

I’m always seeking better methods of performing routine tasks, so I tried out an electric fluid transfer pump for an oil change. Not sure if I like it or not… Think I prefer the manual vacuum operated TopSider instead. The electric pump would be better if it was more powerful. It does operate close to […]

It is a festival of speed unlike anything offered in the US before. The festival will include the Groesbeck Grand Prix, a 1.5-mile time trial event for pre-1985 historic cars held on […]

RADwood Austin 2020 Video Tour

Holy cow that’s a lot of RAD rides! Reportedly 675 vehicles turned out. I tried to capture as many as I could in my video walking tour of the show. Which one was your favorite?

Let’s goto RADwood!

If you’ve never been to RADwood, you’re missing out. It’s a car show specifically for 80s and 90s vehicles, and a celebration of the culture from that era. People dress up in cliché rad attire, as well. So of course I put on my Don Johnson suit and took the Blue Bertone to the show. […]

Sometimes you have to Climb In

My father-in-law needed some help with his 85 GMC stepside pickup. The truck had been sitting for a while, and no longer started. He just replaced the battery, so that was a known good item. The pickup cranks over, but doesn’t make any attempts to run. There’s three things an engine needs to run; air, […]

Parts Bin Lotus

Having worked on mostly larger marques in the past (Honda, Nissan/Datsun, BMW, Subaru, VW), I’ve grown accustomed to finding parts relatively easily and when not in stock, they can be readily tracked down online. Same goes for aftermarket parts. The 280Z was fairly difficult to find aftermarket support for in the early oughts, but since […]
