Dominica: Abandoned Treasure Part Two
On December 12th, we published an article on the abandoned Toyota dealership in Dominica. Since then we’ve received several other pictures and just wouldn’t want to keep them from you…
#GTKY: Your Favorite Porsche
For some, Porsche is automotive perfection. For others, it’s a funny-looking clown shoe prone to snap oversteer. For us, it doesn’t matter if we own one or not – a basic familiarity with the marque is a prerequisite for being a gearhead.
Lisa Smith, Bad-ass of Design, Big Time Porsche Enthusiast
We’ve all got our favorites; favorite make, favorite model, favorite color. It’s part of being a gearhead. And Lisa Smith is a dyed-in-the-wool gearhead. She’s on her 4th blue Porsche and she’s not above letting them stretch their legs on the track. Lisa left a comment on our friend Casudi’s interview, we visited her site, and immediately knew we had a real gearhead on our hands.

#GTKY: RESPECT
Brian Spilner once said of respect, “to some people, that’s more important.” It’s easy to laugh at lines from The Fast and the Furious, but respect is no laughing matter. We all want to be respected. Which brings us to #GTKY this week.
Driving Through Adversity: Project Mobility 4×4
This story has been some time in the making. Something like three months in the making, actually. What’s more, this is one of the best stories I’ve ever had the honor and privilege of sharing. Why’s it taken so long? We are seriously short on pictures to go with it and the folks at Project Mobility are very busy. Nevertheless, this story needs told. Read it and think about what you – as a gearhead – can bring to the whole world.
A Wolf in Lamb’s Clothing
We met David Lamb on Twitter, where he impressed us with his over-the-top energy. Turns out he has quite the story. His dad opened a performance shop to keep his mom’s race cars running in tip-top shape and he took it over a few years ago. Today, he plays with Evos.
The Cars of Our Fathers
I’ve never really thought of my dad as being a gearhead. At least not a practicing one, anyway. I know he used to enjoy bodywork; building floating grilles or losing the chrome altogether, maybe getting together with the fellas to do a re-spray or even channel a sled or two, but aside from passing mention of some of his past automotive pursuits or vehicles, I can only guess. The other night, I sat down for dinner with my dad and asked him to tell me about his cars.
Broken English: Mended Classics
Welcome to the workshop of Shin Yoshikawa. He left his home in Japan 40 years ago, traveling to England and Italy to learn the fine art of vehicle restoration. Shin is now based in Lebec, California. His English is broken, but the pictures on his site speak thousands of words – in every language.
