Auto Buch: I love 'em

Yesterday my eldest son (7) presented me his second "Auto Buch". I guess this is what your offspring is sketching when they have to grow up with a car nerd among a ton of car literature and hot rod movies.
Of course. I am hefty proud. And I think I've done everything right.
E Bodies
If you ever wanted to know what a Mopar E-Body (Plymouth Barracuda/'Cuda, Dodge Challgenger) would look like as a beam axle gasser, as a bōsōzoku-ride or even as a lowrider—just visit Aaron Beck's E-Bodies blog. He presents tons of great photochopped E-Bodies.

General Tire Ad
Wow. It still works. We just found out we are still able to work for dead tree media. Although we hang on the interwebs 24/7.
This is our latest ad we did for General Tire Germany. The ad—photo taken by Dirk "Pixeleye" Behlau during our trip to the General Tire Mint 400 2010—will be published in the german Street Magazine. It promotes our 1972 General Tire International Harvester Scout II as well, which we will bring to the Baja 300 Powerdays. Meet us there!
