Audis on Porsche Wheels

If you haven’t already noticed, I’m a big fan of the OEM+ look – something that looks like it could have come direct from the factory, but it didn’t. I’ve showcased Audis on Lamborghini wheels before, but equally as stunning can be OEM Porsche wheels on our cars. I’ve collected a sample of photos of [...]

Audi CPO Warranty Is Not Transferable & Not Worth It

UPDATE – 1 year, 6 months later: While I’m still disappointed the Audi Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty is not transferable, I will say that I no longer regret buying it.

Audi Valve Caps – It’s All in the Details…

My new wheels needed some new valve stem caps – somewhere along the way I had lost my old set, and my tire installer used some really ugly gold valve stems that stuck out like a sore thumb against my gloss black wheels. The dealer charges a good $30 for Audi valve caps, so I [...]

Renting a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible – A Weekend as a Chevy Guy

I was in Napa, California, for a wedding a few weeks ago and needed to rent a car to get me around, as well as get me and my girlfriend to and from the airport – I was able to negotiate a Chevy Camaro for a very small upgrade fee and couldn’t pass on that [...]

Some of these crash pics may be tough to look at, but I think they serve as good reminders to drive safe, check your mirrors & blind spots, NEVER drive drunk, never street race, never text & drive, and practice safety on the track and on the street a like. While a car accident is [...]
