Coming soon.


1,700 little 12"x12"grey squares.  and some Tylenol

Jumping on a plane this week to help build a floor for "Aunt Dee's" cars.   An altruistic endeavor it is not.  I'm hoping to take'em for a spin around the block.

Spuddy, my BMW M-Coupe. There are others like it but this is mine.

I wrote this as an homage to my car, but it's also a sale's pitch now I guess. It's currently for sale at Glenn Shelly Auto Consultants  Seems my cars all spend a little time at Simply Clean in Lafayette CO. Tyler, the owner applied a full hood PPF as well as a ceramic coat to preserve the paint's condition. My S52 powered M-Coupe is the slowest variant of the M-Coupe. It cost less than the faster versions, but It has other qualities of its own.  So I spent less coin, comparatively, and still achieved total immortality and dominance at Colorado Cars and Coffee .     Simply Clean applied  "temporary tattoos" that have sufficiently offended so many enthusiasts.  These helped distinguish my car from the hundreds of other silver M-Coupes in town.   I always wanted a Dinan-badged car, probably due to something I saw or read in my youth.   Glen Shelly   found me  an excellent example of a Dinan-badged M-Coupe locally with just 40,000...

Old Yellow, our 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport

I know, I've heard it a thousand times.  "Why do you put so much effort and money into cars only to sell them ?"    Some guy once introduced me as "the guy that always sells his cars."   Hey!  i'm not Jay Leno, so when I want to start another project something has to fund it!  Truthfully, buying and selling cars simply is the only thing I think about in my spare time.                                            In hindsight any number of cars I've owed in the past could have sufficed as my "forever" vehicle.  But once they are done, my mind starts to wander.  It seems the only vehicle that interests me is the NEXT vehicle.  I need help. Anyway here is the latest example of my overspending and stupidity.  We are pretty much done with the XJ and focusing on more on our BMW Coupe project and our TRD-Pro ...

Winning at Cars and Coffee

Image
 How to you win at cars and coffee?  You win by knowing it's not a competition. For years I have judged my cars by the praise I received,  photos taken, magazine articles published.   It started innocently enough.  Just a surge of pride and validation when other appreciated what I had built, found or bought.   Whomever sits here may be the coolest car guy in the world. Sir, I envy you.  As I grow old  I face many existential truths,  like that my cars cannot be perfect. I can't afford perfection but also lack the patience  to find it anyway.  I certainly know I can't buy new cars,  that's just too stressful waiting for the value to drop.  So what they hell do you do when your a mentally ill car-guy?   One of the few Loti with a back seat. You can shove a very small child back there. .   Get over yourself, and enjoy being an enthusiast in a different way.   Expand your appreciation for oth...
