Brief interlude between Colorado snow storms...
... means it’s safe to take Red Bull out for a morning coffee.
Spotted. Mercedes plug in hybrid or electric car testing in Denver?
There are always Mercedes test cars around my hood because of the engine testing facility in the area. I also spotted a Pagani Huayra on the streets a couple of years back presumably because of the AMG engine.
Protest drive, because that is what cars are for.
A red 1989 BMW M3 Coupe with 10k miles sold at Bonhams auctions today for $96,250, further dooming one of the finest ever drivers cars to garage queen status as each new record sale price is reached. I’m all for taking care of legendary and historic vehicles, but cars are also meant to be driven, to make memories in.
Stopped in at Elevation Auto, cried
Located in Denver, CO. Nice crew. They didn’t mine me just walking around taking photos... and weeping.
A couple shots of Red Bull
It’s been a brutal spring here in Colorado, including the hail storm last night that dented up my Subaru. (sads)

Spotted in Belgium. Swoon.
Best car posters from your childhood.
Has this been done? If not then it's time to round up the top 10 posters to grace our collective walls. If it has been done, sorry, just let this thread die in peace.
Red Bull has been in the shop at Autoworks Colorado for the last three months. On the drive out from Galveston to Colorado she suffered a rod bearing failure in cylinder #2, necessitating a total engine rebuild. This was a pretty horrific and traumatic event to go through (and I have to thank my amazing wife for…
Can't stop looking in the engine bay...
...and at the passenger seat. Why don't Ferraris and Lambos come with these?
Back in action!
3 months of rebuilding are over. Red Bull is back in action with a refreshed heart and a clean bill of health. Finally the UK importation story can have a happy ending. Huzzah! 'Murrca, here we come!
Free MRAPS!??! It's custom livery time!
San Diego Unified schools just gave the internet a gift by mocking up a mostly white MRAP and putting sparse decals on it. Clearly all it needs in order to appear friendlier is a fresh coat of paint! Now it's child's play to paint one up with our own custom OPPO livery. Let's see who can come up with the best design!
Landfall
July 17th, 2014. Roter Stier, 1989 BMW E30 M3 Evolution II becomes an American citizen. First road trip: Galveston TX, to Denver, CO. More to come, that much is certain.
Went to cars n coffee, took no photos while there
But on the way home I stopped in downtown Denver and had some fun with my 912E and my T2i, two shining examples of non-premium products of great brands.
Stayyyy on target, Stayyyy on target!
That's my car, on that boat, in the middle of The Gulf. Come to papa... AND DON'T HIT THE OTHER ICONS! THE RED ONES ARE EMPIRE VESSELS!
Father's Day Drive
In my family, thanks to my dad, we have a long long long tradition of piling our everyone into the car, pointing it towards the mountains, and driving all day long. Much of this was probably due to my dad's not-very-well disguised desire to scope out new and undiscovered fishing holes in the mountains of Southwest…
Vienna, Austria. Car Spotting. 15 seconds apart.
Waiting for the trolley...
