Hey, did you know that when you flip a Dodge Viper logo upside down the viper looks like Daffy Duck’s face? Interesting!

Car Logos Over Time
It is interesting to see how logos change over time. I found a site that has a page titled “Car logos evolution”. The page has the changing logos of Mercedes, Renault, Volkswagen, Cadillac, Mitsubushi, Buick, BMW, Ford, Mazda, Fiat, Audi, Alfa Romeo and Peugeot.
The Cadillac logos on the page only covers the actual coat of arms to the first trademarked logo. Just this month Cadillac rolled out an updated logo design.

Chevy Truck Revving on a Dyno
This is a short video I took of a Chevy Truck revving on the dyno at the Midwest All Truck Nationals on September 12, 2009 in Riverside, MO. It’s also my first attempt at uploading a video to YouTube.
Crashing a 59 Chevy Bel Air into a 09 Chevy Malibu
It hurts to see a classic car getting smashed up but I must admit that when I see crash test videos, I have always wondered how an older car would hold up.
This video was done by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to celebrate it’s 50th anniversary. They paired up a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevy Malibu.
If you’re thinking the Bel Air with its size and big chrome bumper will hold its own, get ready for a surprise.

Garage Style Magazine
In the 2009 summer edition of Garage Style Magazine, I am featured as one of the artists in the “UNIQUE Artists” section.
This issue marks the one year anniversary for the magazine.
They feature outstanding examples of state-of-the-art garages as well as other type of garages and shops. They have an article on Roy Brizio’s South San Francisco shop in this issue.
One of the articles I enjoyed was about Corky Coker and how he started Coker Tire Company. They also have automobile reviews, book reviews, a buyer’s guide, and much more.
You can see an index of the current issue online along with a few sample PDFs for you to download.
I want to include a special thank you to Don Weberg the Editor-Publisher for asking me to be a part of this anniversary issue!!!
Thanks Don!!!!

The Big Wheel All Grown Up
I remember the Big Wheel coming out when I was growing up. I never had one but always thought they were cool.
Now check out the SS Trike. Its like the grown up version of the Big Wheel, but with a V-twin engine and a 24 inch front wheel.
Oh yeah!!!
The Munster Koach and the Drag-u-la
The Munster Koach and the Drag-u-la were created by George Barris for the TV show called The Munsters.
Both of these custom cars can be seen together in the episode titled “Hot Rod Herman”. “Hot Rod Herman” is one of my favorite “Munsters” episodes, below is a clip.
The engine for the Koach was a 300-horsepower 289 Ford Cobra V-8 and the Drag-u-la has a 289 with 350-horsepower.
