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!

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

1997 Jeep Wrangler Craigslist Story

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.
