This is on my own volition. I’ll let you know how that goes in a breakdown. So far, we’ve spent about $550 on fuel, and appear to be averaging 10 mpg. Read more

Yeah, I will definitely elaborate on details in my overall journey piece. But, it did not get off to a great start.

Eyyyy! Someone who gets it! I think you’re due for a return! Plus, who doesn’t love a good trip to Bell’s? Read more

I’d hate to admit it, for as dark as this is, but unless you pre-plan your exit... I mean, we’ve seen end-of-world movies and television. Right now I’m envisioning The Walking Dead highways leading out of the city. Nothing is getting through that. Read more

Oh yeah. That was like a whole thing I think in the later aughts? When I worked at a Chevy dealer, there was like a whole block of model years that you had to do that to. People were pissed when we told them it was like $200 to change a light because you drop the bumper. Read more

Oh! Josh told me that was on. I haven’t watched, but we were planning on it. Baggers is the shit. Read more

Since it decided we couldn’t get to spring in Michigan without one more snow, I will be avoiding working on the 190E and instead pack my little heart out for my RV adventure to Sebring and Gatornationals.  Read more

Seriously, I am coming over. Or bring your mom here. I don’t care. I need a mom like that in my life. Read more

You’re not wrong there. I about lost my GLI driving through Wayne County (Detroit) earlier this week in a pothole the size of a small swimming pool. But up north, the roads are actually in better condition. It’s really not that bad. Read more

I feel you. Didn’t do the BMW route, but my 190E is it’s own adventure. What’s next on the E30? Read more
