Club Dirty Resurgence - Part 2

Talk about an addiction! I check craigslist everyday. Always the "autos by owner" section looking for good deals, monstrosities of wasted time, or the infamous barn find. Its all about the chase, and hopefully I can share some of the excitement about the latest club dirty endeavor: Project E30.

Club Dirty Resurgence - Part 1

I sold the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. The Jeep was planned to be used as an all purpose daily driver, with the occasional off-road trip. To satisfy my car needs, I looked around for a Miata on the side to tinker with and take driving. Reality sank in, and the two cars would ultimately need a lot of time and a place to work on them, which I do not have.

Richmond Cars and Coffee April 2014: Birthday Weekend

My birthday wish this year was to go to Cars and Coffee in Richmond Saturday morning. I was not disappointed.

The Spec-B is Gone...What Now?

Admitting you have a problem is the first step towards understanding you have a problem. In my case, my insurance company denied my car coverage renewal due to suspicion of me running a car dealership. I have been through 5 cars in the past year. That is the most you can buy in the state of Virginia within a year before you have to declare yourself as a dealer, so no rules broken. I have a new policy and all is good, but this is what I have been up to recently.

2008 Subaru Legacy GT Spec B: Club Dirty Revival

I have never seen a facelifted Subaru Legacy GT Spec B until this year. That's because they are somewhat rare, but packed with a ton of options any automotive enthusiast would be proud of. That makes me proud to own a 2008 Subaru Legacy GT Spec B, with some miles.

The Inaugural Austin 400 Review: Amazing

The V8 Supercars felt at home in Texas for the inaugural Austin 400 at Circuit of the Americas. It was an extremely hot weekend, with temperatures just under 100 degrees fahrenheit. The cabin in the race cars reached upwards of 140 degrees.

Information regarding how the entire V8 Supercar pack and equipment will be shipped over to the Circuit of the Americas inaugural Austin 400 was released today by the V8 Supercars official site. Here are a few of the main takeaways:

On April 24th, a V8 Supercar and a NASCAR took their first lap ever on Austin's Circuit of the Americas track. V8 Supercars' James Courtney and Fabian Coulthard took to the track alongside Kurt Busch as a promotional day for the upcoming Austin 400 May 17-19.

2013 Cars and Coffee: Charlottesville

This was one of the first Cars and Coffees for 2013 in Charlottesville. I did not know what to expect besides it being a smaller car meet than Richmond, since this was my first time at a C-ville meet. I was impressed by the turnout and was happy to see one of my friends from Richmond at the meet. A Mercedes SLS AMG made an appearance, so you know that there are some car enthusiasts to be found here.

Club Dirty Approved: Subaru Leone STI Build

The Leone is not what you typically imagine when you hear the name Subaru. The Leone is the predecessor to the Subaru Impreza, which we can all be thankful for. I'm not exactly sure on how to pronounce Leone, but for the purpose of this post you should just refer to it as badass (bad-ass).

How Cars Intertwine Into Our Lives

I have been wayy too busy looking up cars, as I have decided that I am in the market for a new car. My 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 has been great to me for almost 3 years. I love it, but have started falling out of love ever since I entertained the idea of something different.

2013 and the Many Changes!

Happy 2013!

Club Dirty Auto has been put on the back burner for the past month, as I have accepted a new job position and am relocating to Charlottesville, Virginia! All of this is very exciting, but the life transition has taken its toll on the amount of content here at Club Dirty Auto...but not for long!

Be on the lookout for "How my $1000 Jeep Wrangler Wasn't a Scam: Part 2" and other car coverage this January! Edit: Oops. Too busy watching videos of dyno pulls gone bad.

2013 will be an extremely exciting year, so be sure to check out the page for new content and feel free to stop by the Facebook page.

I wish you all a great 2013, and a generous tax return season to supplement your automotive needs!

2012 Cars and Coffee Richmond December (West End)

Saturday was a good morning for Cars and Coffee in Richmond. It was a terrific turnout!

How my $1000 Jeep Wrangler Wasn't A Scam: Part 1

There are many sellers on craigslist that try to rip us off. You see the car of your dreams, and somehow the price is thousands below what similar makes and models normally go for.  They included a picture, but the only thing the description mentions is that the car has ABS brakes and includes an air freshener – nothing else. When you email them they mention that the car is nearby, but they are in some random African country and will need for you to send a money transfer before you can test drive the car. You could give them your credit card to make things easier, if you wanted.

Club Dirty Approved: 60's Chevy Truck

When I purchased my phone, I opted to have 32gb of memory. I have not used all of my storage, but a huge chunk of the data is car pictures. It is the feeling of not expecting to come across a car or truck worth looking at, and then all of a sudden you see something that sticks out at you.

Cars and Coffee: Western Richmond November

I met up with my friend Will Saturday morning, and headed out to the "West End" edition of Cars and Coffee Richmond. This was my first visit at this location. I thought it was a great turnout, with a very good variety of cars. The wind made it a cold morning, but the engine sounds from the Lamborghini and Ferrari leaving the show made me forget about the frigid temperature completely.

First things first: I reserved my spot at the 2013 Circuit of the Americas V8 Supercar race.

Cars And Coffee Meet

This past Saturday was my first Cars and Coffee meet in the morning. Being familiar with the spot I would go Friday nights, I had no idea where where I was going that morning (kinda). I was glad to see a bunch of great cars at the top of the hill upon arriving to the meet.

Craigslist Finds: Two RX-7’s, Four Turbos

This Craigslist find features a seller offering not one, but two different 1993 RX-7’s for sale. On top of that, both of them look great and they each have a twin turbo engine!

...Club Dirty.

Precision Body Works Auto Show

This past Saturday I decided to stop by Precision Body Works for their annual car show. It was a good scene, and there was a nice choice of cars to check out. They had cars lined up outside in their lot and the adjacent shops, as well as select few inside their showroom.
