Before: headed to Daytona International Speedway last Saturday. Life was good: After: headed home from the gym Tuesday. Motor blown. Life not so good: Not sure exactly what happened to the motor but it was catastrophic. The crank is frozen which is a really bad sign. The car is leaving for...

Greetings everyone. I purchased my wife a brand new broom to ride around on. She really wanted the turbo but it was not in the budget. Is pledge an acceptable product to use on wood? Halloween is our wedding anniversary and I wanted to get her something she could really get some use out of...

Today's Show-n-Shine subject is a 1986 Porsche 930 (911 Turbo). I usually only see the right side of this car as it is passing me on the track. The rest of track day is spent looking at it's rear end. It is stupid fast. The paint is all original, 1986 single stage guards red. The car has...

This is just downright naughty! When in Monte Carlo, everything is done in style. And that includes crashing your car. This was the moment when a woman driver caused a £700,000 five-car pile-up as her Bentley collided with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin. Disaster struck as the...

Greetings Ag'ers. I am looking for a decent car wash in Palm Beach County. I drove 5 hours today to Delray for a conference. The Porsche picked up a bug or two on the way not to mention rain for several hours. I dont need a full detail but someplace decent if anyone in the area has any...

I received a call Monday from a client referral. The caller advised that he had a 2006 Corvette, Sunset Orange. A sprinkler from an adjacent apartment complex had hit the car while it was parked at his office. He was out of town for a week and returned to find the damage. This is not a show car...

Today's subject is a 1994 Infiniti, white pearl. The car is a mom mobile, daily driver. My client interview revealed that the car has not been washed or vacuumed in over 3 years. Rainfall was the only water to hit the paint. The client wanted a basic clean up. Upon inspection, the paint was...
