1/1/09: CARS OF CORONADO, CA



I spent New Year's Day cruising around town documenting some of the sweet rides found on the streets here...typified by the kind of shabby chic I love. Happy New Year from coBRANDiT!

COOLEST RACING VID EVER


This video is nutty. Now why isn't this on the GTI Mark V's site, mixed in with some new stuff? So cool I can't even stand it.

ALTWHEELS: VW ELECTRO-BUS

This vintage microbus has been heavily modded by VW's Electronic Research Lab in Palo Alto, California. It's battery powered, and stuffed with electronic gizmos that for the most part work (but I don't know about the vein-detecting entry system...) This bus would make a sweet ride for 007 on his day off. We shot this at Boston's AltWheels Festival last September, material for a piece we produced for Treehugger TV.

VW: GLEN & ZACK

Glen & Zack are VW nuts. Here Glen describes the coming mods on Zack's ride. How about a supercharger from a Pontiac? Sounds good to me.
