    I know this is only tangentally related to a wagon but read on my fellow Hoons, read on. Last year for this olelongrooffan’s birthday my older brother and his lovely spouse, that would be thehorsefarmer and thebarngoddess, presented me with a super cool pictural history book appropriately titled “Cars.” It is truly a “Visual Encyclopedia”…

    Okay, I know this is not a Porsche but it is its sister and those little dolls are just adorable, aren’t they? Yeah right. But why the hell anyone would restore a 1972 Volkswagen Type I? Anyway, at that kickass car show this olelongrooffan attended last month there were a bunch of Porsches.

    It’s never a good thing when your race car is on the hook with no impact damage while the HAZMAT team cleans up its bodily fluids. Before the season even begins.
