New Ugga Dugga Day

I’ve got an arsenal of air tools, but my Milwaukee tool collection seems to be growing by the day. I think I left an unusually amorous drill alone in a dark drawer far too long with a particularly promiscuous impact gun. Every time I open the drawer, the family of red power tools has expanded. If they were suburbanites, they’d be purchasing their 3rd minivan right now. Since I’ve gone…

The Trailer – Part 2

Here we are headed straight in to the summer of 2020. Many things have changed for us since this project started – new home, new state, new cargo, new tow vehicle… but one thing remains: The trailer is still a work in progress. We’ve camped with it for the past 5 years and hauled a four wheeler, a side by side and most recently dirt bikes. I’ve used it to…

My Automotive Journey (so far)

A brief trip down memory lane – a list of all the cars and trucks I have owned since just before I started driving in 1994. This is current as of May 2020. Listed in chronological order, this list is filled with a weird mixture of pride, shame and random selections – just like my college transcripts. The lofty goal is to create a 25 part series, where each car…

The Trailer – Part 1

I wanted to build a teardrop trailer for about a decade. The small stature, utilitarian nature and retro styling all appealed to me. I read, I researched, I watched videos and I even had a donor trailer ready for the build. Colors were discussed. My wife was fully onboard. So much ambition… on paper. I’m notoriously taking on an increasingly optimistic number of projects, and they just don’t all make…

About

My name is Jeremy, and I’ve liked cars for as long as I can remember.  While remembering when you can’t remember is unlikely, I remember seeing a picture before I remember and I remember liking it so, let’s start there. Here I am hanging out of the most interesting Dodge Charger I’ve ever seen.  I can’t tell you much about the day I posed for this photo, but I do…
