I have a tendency to get lazy at the end of the season, but I need to make a post about 2009’s Treffen show. (Midwest) Treffen is an annual summer meet-up of Volkswagen and Audi owners and enthusiasts put on by the Chicago Volkswagen Organization. All…

D1GP Round 3 in Chicago – August 1, 2009

Hot Import Nights 2009 in Chicago

A couple of weeks ago, I took a trip to downtown Chicago for the Audi Driving Experience. When I went last year it was to promote the new Audi A4, but this year it was the Audi Q5. Since the Q5 is an SUV, I wasn’t sure if I would have the chance to do…

Scion tC Fatlace Edition
Every year, Scion brings a slew of modified Scions to the Chicago Auto Show. At the 2009 show, Mark Arcenal’s Scion tC was on display. His wide-body tC was one of the most radical tCs I have ever laid eyes on.
