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…

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.

2006 Hot Import Nights: Nightshift in Chicago

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…
