Hey everyone: We have a few box trucks worth of stuff to bring down to Hamtramck since we're launching a new car and motorcycle shop in Ferndale. Nothing major, just a lot of hands needed. Show up at 840 E Lewiston at noon onward. I'll pop for pizza and beer. It'll take a few trips down. You...

Hey everyone: I wanted to take a minute and invite you to this year's Thunderdrome! race at the once-abandoned Dorais Velodrome on Detroit's east side. It's a charity race to fix up the park and velodrome along with generating funds for Camp Casey, a horseback riding program for children with...

Hey everyone: I'm not entirely sure this is the proper section to be posting this, but I figured with the high unemployment rate this sort of post would be welcomed just about anywhere. Our business is doing great and we're looking for a few good people to join our team. We've got a handful of...

We're launching a summer series of free movies outside on a big screen at Paper Street. Bring your ride, BYOB and watch a film. Folding chairs are a good idea. No catch, totally free. This month we're doing Vanishing Point on Tuesday, June 11th at 8:30PM. (I know you've seen it a thousand...

Damn Mongolians tryin' to hijack my chitty thread.

This winter, I ventured from Detroit out to LA in hopes of riding motorcycles and doing absolutely nothing for four days. I had intended to borrow a friend's trusty but tired old Triumph and cruise around with no agenda. Then, of course, I got to Google'ing and found I could get myself an...

It's that time again, folks. Another Thunderdrome! is here next Saturday, September 15th, 2012 at 6:00PM. Most of you know what we're all about, but for those that don't: We excavated a once-abandoned velodrome on Detroit's east side and we hold two races a year on it to raise money to continue...

1985 Ford Mustang Built Drag Car - 347 Stroker, C6 Trans: PRICE SLAM: $6,500! I'm selling my 1985 Mustang hatchback. This is a very well built drag car. The previous owner states this car ran a best of 10.4 in the quarter mile and dyno'd 640hp on the engine stand. I have not verified these...

Gone! Gone! Sold!

What's good, everyone? We're holding another big damn race we call The Thunderdrome! at the once-abandoned Dorais Velodrome on Detroit's east side. If you're not familiar, in 2010 we started repairing and maintaining the Dorais velodrome, park and playground. We held a really successful first...

I know a lot of you are hotshot wrenches and such, but I still believe this might be of use to even the best of you - or possibly your wife/girlfriend that wants to ride or know more about the machine she's on. Todd Ethridge, owner of McBee's Motorcycles, a rad shop here in Ferndale, is going...

So, some of you may have heard of our racing series, the Thunderdrome!, before. If not, here's the skinny: Back in 2010, my comrade, Ben Wojdyla, and I restored an old velodrome in Detroit using our bare hands, a Bobcat and about 4,000 pounds of concrete. This racing series was an...

I'm selling my 1984 Mercedes 300SD Turbo Diesel. This is an excellent car. I would not hesitate to hop in it and drive to California and back. It's a 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine with an automatic transmission. Engine starts great, even when cold. No smoking, no blow-by. Transmission...

A few of you remember I brought up the concept of a large space with offices, industrial bays and automotive service equipment. That was early 2010. We've had our 22,000 sq/ft space up and running profitably since April 2010, renting space to people looking to start a business. No automotive...

I'm selling my 1961 Ford Galaxie. Car is powered by a 292 V8 Engine, runs very smooth. Starts every time. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car to California in a heartbeat. Exhaust has a great low rumble, fast machine. New brakes, new brake master cylinder. New tires. Ridiculously nice...
