Hot Import Nights in Chicago was almost a month ago, but I never got around to the details. The show was about as loud, crowded, and dark as I’ve come to expect, but it also JDM and high-end Euro cars. Skylines are seen in the US more and more, but I w…

I had a good/bad weekend
This is the first time I remember having such a good weekend where so many bad things happened. I had planned a trip to watch the Super Bowl and was able to spend time with people I hadn’t seen in a while. In the end all the driving meant I got little…
World of Wheels in Chicago 2007
The World of Wheels car show is going on this weekend so I went out to check out some hot rods and try out a new camera. There were four major types of cars in my opinion. The first set of cars was the hot rods which were typically Fords from the 30’s w…
Some Pictures From Jamaica
My grandmother died last week so I took a trip to Jamaica over the weekend for her funeral. It was a sad occasion, but it was still fun to see so much of my family. I kept my camera with me for most of the trip and snapped a lot of pics. Here are some…

Too much of that white stuff
Today the Midwest was hit hard with a major snowstorm. While schoolchildren enjoyed a day off and endless building materials for snow forts, I had to deal with a nearly two hour commute to work. I only made it up to fourth gear during the trip to work…
Great way to start the weekend
This morning I got a call with some bad news. My Altima was involved in an accident. A driver ran a red and hit my sister (who was driving my car) as she was about to get on Lake Shore Drive. She was just fine, but my car doesn’t look too happy. The…
Phun with PHP
You may have noticed that I have started changing over the pages on this BenLevy.com over to a new format. Earlier this year I started looking into the use of server-side languages and decided that in the future I wanted to have my whole site using php…
Pictures from Treffen 2006 are up
I was lucky enough to go to one of the largest VW meets in Illinois this weekend. I say lucky because it was just luck that I was reminded to go to Treffen. On Saturday I decided to wash my car and spotted a Red VW R32 with a Jetta front. I talked to…
