Video Blog: Rob’s Review of Cars 2
This week’s video blog is a review if the Disney/Pixar movie, Cars 2. If you were hoping for a sequel as endearing as the first movie….you’ll need to keep hoping. That being said, on the Parent’s Scale of 1-10, where 1 means, “If I hear this movie one more time over my minivan speakers I’ll run this sucker off of a bridge,”, and 10 means, “I could listen to this movie time and time again,” I’ll give it an 8.
This is my story (and I’m sticking to it!)

Video Blog: A Trip to Mopars In the Park

10 Years of Marriage, 3 Kids, and the Same Chevelle
It’s hard to believe, but May 26, 2011 marks 10 years of marriage for my wife and I. I remember our wedding day as if it happened just an hour ago and it’s hard to fathom that the next 10 years may pass as quickly. 10 years ago, we were in our twenties, and one […]
The Chevelle Build: Detroit Speed Suspension Time!
I mentioned in Podcast Episode 84 that Detroit Speed and Engineering is now on board with the Chevelle Build, and I could not be more excited about it. It was their ’65 Chevelle test car that really inspired me to go the route of using their equipment, specifically because that car is what I want […]
The Chevelle Build: NPD Parts are here and it’s a Hot Rodders Christmas!
Well, the Chevelle build is going at warp speed over at Allison Customs!

As I wrote last week, the amount of rust damage that […]
Driving Made Me a Diet Coke Addict
