Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here for your weekly dose of foreign fridays! As I’m sure you all know, the big news around the world today is the opening of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here for this weeks installment of Foreign Fridays! With the summer halfway over, many of the show season’s events have come and gone. The VW Classic, several Good Guys events, etc, have had their day and their coverage. Very soon however, two of the best events of the summer are going to kick into high gear, with one already underway! I’m talking about two premiere aircooled VW events- Familienfest and the Type Three Invasion.
Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here. We haven’t been on an Auto Adventure in a while, but I figured this one would be to the theaters! No, I’m not talking about The Dark Knight (though the Batmobile and Bat Bike were featured on Top gear and are actually one-off, fully functioning cars built from the ground up- badass) no, I’m talking about another re-make, and its going to rock no matter how crappy it is according to the critics.

Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here. I was going to write about the travesty going on in Italy, but my raging thunder was stolen by my other halves, which is fine, as they did the story justice.

Hit the jump to find out what crazy shennanagins I’m up to this time!
Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here for a slight deviation from the usual Foreign Fridays. Seeing as today is 4th of July, the day Americans around the world celebrate the signing of the declaration of independence and the birth of our great country, I figured we’d have a domestic Friday instead of a foreign one. Also in keeping with the historic significance of the day, I thought we’d celebrate the greatest contributions to the automotive world, courtesy of the good ole’ US of A. Hit the jump for America’s top three automotive contributions of all time!
Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here. I just popped in to talk about a little epiphany I had over the weekend. For the first time in several months, I had a chance to spend some quality time with my ride, other than the usual commuting back and forth over Southern California.

It was almost therapeutic, sitting out on my driveway with my beat up garage radio blaring and slowly but surely polishing my car to perfection. It occurred to me that if I had asked anyone else to do this to their car, I would have been met with a groan and/or a confused “why?”. This got me thinking about a great many other eccentricities that people generally associate with gearheads; or the insane. Hit the jump to laugh along with “you know you’re a gear head if…”
