Getting ready to see @thelemonheadsofficial with this crew.

Circle of life… The caddy that I’ve been hoarding for like 20 years left to a very good home. That left me with space in the home garage …

Every day is a good day for some @ihateyoutheband

It was time for some new snows for the mk4. Hopefully these will make their way onto the car later this week…

One of my favorite changes to the mk4 this past year are these phaeton challenge wheels. I’ve wanted these wheels for a long time - …

Got me the @leencustoms version of the Rallye Golf.

Felix and I celebrating at @handlebarchicago for their 20th. Mere moments before this I ran into a whole slew of OFA folk that I haven’t seen in …

Hope to take the Rallye on a final drive this week before winter comes and takes the car fun away. First up, gotta fix a slow leak in that front …

I might be too far to get a hoagie on the regular, but @wawa is gonna keep me warm this season.

A walk in the woods when the leaves start to turn.

Love to see @chemaskandal’s work in the wild. Also, love the art and the message.

Previous pic with this @sazerac_stitches sconce didn’t do it justice. A small preserved bit of nature whenever we need it. Also, finally got the …

Surprise present from @longballrally! Absolutely gorgeous work from @scrape_empire. This is good motivation to get moving building out my Helios. …

Let’s try that again… I did a bad job of getting the side skirts and rear valance mounted before @loeshowofficial , so off they come to …

I love how this kitchen ended up. The lights (the green PH5 by Louis Poulsen and a botanico by @sazerac_stitches), the trees, the greens, the wood. …

Fresh Chagall on the hood for the harlequin. Excited to get these and the fresh fenders on soon.. as soon as I get the motor running again, lol.

Caught some hooligans snooping. Brazen, in broad daylight. Sometimes a whole crew!

Also, rearranged the driveway so I can drive the rallye a bit more before it gets cold. Does not get old seeing either of them.

Many thanks to @longballrally for helping get the final pieces put together so we (+ @ska.zda) can head out to @loeshowofficial later this week. The …

Getting that wagon ready for the @loeshowofficial road trip. new gli sized brakes are on fresh @solowerksinc coils, along with the rest of the …

A few of my favorites from @checkeditout.io earlier today. Some absolutely breathtaking pieces of machinery. Thanks for hanging out @longballrally!

A quick birthday introduction to Philly, which, to me, apparently just means food and Quakerism (and some history thrown in, just without pictures). …

Got some spare fenders painted up for the harlequin, since the current driver’s fender has a dent from catching a piece of ice when I first …

This early Milo Baughman we scored from @k2modern a while back makes for a perfect morning reading nook. Also, that @dittohouse throw makes me happy …

Baby’s last @handlebarchicago before heading off to school.

Can’t really feel my fingers anymore, but the surface of the country isn’t like 87% sap anymore. Also threw a fairing on so I can drive up …

A nice hike out the front door leads to these views. Breathtaking both for the views and for the uphill climb. Amazing to see the vultures up close …

After far too long, we got the windows cleaned at the dome. It’s amazing how much light and nature comes in now. Then we went and visited some …

What a pleasant place to sit with a good book.

Nice day for a mid day back to back drive. The mk4 feels like driving a space marshmallow after the mk2. Pretty pleased with that driveway after a …

Picked the Rallye Golf up from @mobileonetuning after some tweaks, tuning and long deferred maintenance. Finally got a bit of seat time, and this car …

Some sculptures and some flowers and a nice walk with family.
