How I was almost scammed on a set of Authentic BBS LM Wheels on VWVortex…
Buying used car parts through automotive forums can be a great way to buy parts you couldn’t afford otherwise. Case in point – the elusive BBS LM wheels, my favorite wheels of all time. The BBS LMs cost $1179.00 a piece on VividRacing, which is one of the best prices I can find anywhere. That [...]
Video: How Each New Audi Model is Tested
What does it take for a car to become an Audi? A lot more than you’d think! It undergoes an aging process that adds 12 years to a vehicle in just 9 weeks (kind of sounds like when I loan my car to my girlfriend, lol). According the movie, all Audi models also undergo these [...]

Audi Wins 24 Hours of Le Mans #1, #2, an #3!
Congrats to Audi winning the 24 hours of Le Mans race, finishing in first, second and third place! While Peugeot tried its hardest, all three of their cars broke or caught on fire before ever finishing, providing that consistency and reliability are just as important as lap times (are you listening Davidson?). Go Audi!

Shout Outs to A Few Friends…
I’d like to make a quick shout-out to a few friends, one old and one new. First off, a big what’s up and thanks to my good friend Brian Riggs, who is the owner and founder of Illusive Fabrications. I met Brian years ago when I owned my Ford Explorer and he helped me with [...]
Audi A1 & Justin Timberlake Trailer – The Next Big Thing.
The trailer video for Audi’s new web mini-series, The Next Big Thing, starring Justin Timberlake and the new Audi A1 was released today. It seems to be very inspired by The Transporter, which featured Jason Statham and the Audi A8, as well as Audi’s S6 Superbowl Commercial with Jason Statham, which seemed to be a [...]
Audi CPO Warranty Is Not Transferable & Not Worth It
No matter what your Audi dealership implies, the Audi CPO warranty does NOT transfer. If a private party is selling you a car with an Audi CPO warranty, it will not transfer and adds no value to the car. The Audi CPO extended warranty also carries a $85 deductible every time you make a claim, [...]
My Friend Matt’s Pristine 2007 Audi RS4 is For Sale
My good friend Matt is selling his 2007 Audi RS4 – it’s sad to see it go as I’ve personally admired this car for as long as I’ve known Matt. The Magnaflow exhaust on it is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard – it’s not too loud, but has a great, throaty [...]
