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…
Adventures in Central Illinois
I spent much of my weekend between Springfield and Champaign. Springfield was new to me because I had never been down there before. It’s a nice town, but I think it’s too small for me.
I started to add the HIN ’06 pictures to the image database but…
2006 Hot Import Nights: Nightshift in Chicago
I wasn’t paying attention earlier this year so I missed when Hot Import Nights was in Chicago in the spring. I was sure to make the Nightshift in the summer because I missed that one. HIN was outside on one of the hottest days of the year. There were hu…
This poor little Z-car
I saw a White Nissan 350Z that had an awkward lean when passing the parking lot it was in. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the 350Z had no wheels. This white 2006 350Z had its wheels stolen even though the car was totally stock. What’s strang…
Formula D Video is done

Yesterday I went to the DUB Show that was held at McCormick Place. For those of you unfamiliar with the event it is held by DUB Magazine. It is a show that focuses on cars with big wheels, custom paint jobs, and more electronics than a Russian submari…
Better Late Than Never
It’s been a long time since I did an update. I’ve been very busy for the past couple of months. I was working on a new site, but had to put that on hold to catch up with my studies. It’s pretty cool though and I’ll probably to that php page set-up fo…
Lots of car stuff
I went to the Chicago Auto Show this year and took many pictures. I made a page with the pictures from the 2006 Chicago Auto Show. There was a good showing, but I was a bit rushed at the show. I have a few favorite pics from the show, plus some video…
5 Year Anniversary
On February 13, 2001, I registered benlevy.com. That’s actually kinda old by internet standards (Google is only 8 years old).
Arachnophobia
I wouldn’t say I’m scared of spiders, but I don’t like them. My mind seems to think something different though. Spiders have been popping up in my dreams for the last few months. They’re not exactly nightmares but are real enough to make me wake up frea…
