I have an idea. Let's get furloughed from work because of Covid. Take a cross country road trip. Have your transmission self destruct 300+ miles away from home. Buy a brand new vehicle on the spot. Drive it 6,000 miles around the country. And then take it off-roading for your…
As a child of the 90's, one car stood above them all. The Dodge Viper. I still remember seeing that blue with white stripes beauty at the local car show. I was mesmerized. When I heard my good buddy who runs Endless Performance picked up a supercharged Gen2, I knew…
Quick little photoshoot of a stock Nissan 240sx and Mitsubishi Eclipse GST along the Mississippi River in Minnesota and Wisconsin. More photos of the 240sx can be found HERE. - Andrew
For PART 1: Click HEREWelcome to part 2. This is where the car went from your typical, ratty looking drift car to a well done, flashy, yet JDM inspired drift car. Its rare to find grassroots drifters with nice paint, but that was Andy's goal. Having a buddy who does…
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…
If you haven't seen part 1, click here for the backstory and how I ended up with the car in the first place. Welcome to part II of the mustang build. Here is where the car went from a bone stock GT, to what I envisioned the day I drove…
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…
Since 1999, I've only missed one Chicago Auto Show, and that was for the birth of my daughter. This is one of my favorite events of the year. It's an opportunity to see all of the newest tech, concept and prototype cars, and generally the direction that the industry is…
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…
