It must be something about 240's, that once they get a hold of you, you can't leave. Or maybe they are just cool? I don't know, they don't really do anything for me personally, but I do know that their following is huge. I have literally seen people ignore Z06's…
While shooting some photos for an upcoming article, I had the chance to shoot our friends RAV4 TRD Off-Road on some local trails. I only shot for about 10 mins, but the combination of the unique color, the green surroundings, and the overcast sky gave for some dramatic photos. I…
You may remember the recent article Andrew posted about the '57 restoration project. This is the same car, a lot less complete, in the middle of big changes from when I originally brought it home. As mentioned the car will have a full article when it is finished with the…
I sometimes get comments that Midwest Automotive only features “import cars”. While I understand the comments, I really want to feature a wider variety. This isn’t quite a car feature, but I think many will enjoy the photos. I have been becoming a big fan of patina over the last…
They say that college is time to experiment, so why not get drunk one night and let a random dude you met on the internet come upstairs?My sense of humor has always been pretty dry, but one of my favorite stories ever is the night that I met my buddy…
I was first introduced to Cong back in the days of DSM dominance, forums ruling all car communication, and when Cong was still able to do backflips. In his early days he owned a number of cars, but his Eclipse Spyder was his favorite. I may be a little fuzzy…
For years, I have wanted to do a shoot with snow flying. A few weekends ago I had a couple of friends over for a night of Fast and Furious movies and some beers, and that morning we were sitting around looking for something to do. The night before had…
I have known Brandon for a few years now. He was one of the most instrumental members of Midwest Automotive in its early days. Without him and his work, Midwest Automotive would not have the following that it does. When I posted to Facebook that I wanted a few cars…
We all have friends who find their niche in car culture. Some are heavily invested in old school muscle cars, some in lifted trucks, and some in stanced JDM vehicles. Many people do venture out and try new things as they grow, but for some it is just weird to…
Most of the cars I end up photographing are friends or friends of friends. The separation is typically one level at most. Then sometimes it all works out and you meet a rad dude like Cole and a bad-ass truck. I made a post to a local Facebook group asking…
Dan Butler didn't seek out this 1961 Chevy Bel Air. He didn't even really intend to own one. Dan was driving and wrenching on a 1950 Ford Tudor "shoebox" with an extreme chop and a serious attitude. But Adam Melton, known locally in the rustic car scene, had his eye…
A few years back, Bill Allred bought himself a beautiful 1994 Mazda RX-7. With black paint, large wheels, and a seriously aggressive aftermarket hood, it looked downright angry. He hadn't had the car all that long when he had a slight problem. The car suffered a fuel leak. And then…
