Time for a little bit of that "work-life-balance" people talk so much about!! Except... we aren't your average vacationers. Normal people go to France for the wine and cuisine.... Dad and I go to do our own version of the Tour de France: covering 40-60 miles a day up some of the highest and most scenic mountain passes. I'll be sharing daily updates on my stories, so check those out if you're interested l, and I'll see you for more automotive content at the end of the month!

This is my 1989 Toyota Supra that I have owned since 2013. I have been through so much with this car - rebuilding the engine twice and redoing the body and paint twice ..... Thank you to everyone's extremely positive responses to the unexpected post made by The SEMA Show yesterday, featuring my interview with Chris Jacobs where I talked about receiving the Hemmings Award for my build! I am honestly still in shock to this day. It was absolutely the highlight of 2025 for me. For everyone who asked to see the car, here's a little edit of some of my favorite clips from the build and the finished product. Huge thanks to .heaven_ on Instagram for her video clips here from Supras in Vegas; the video on her page is still my favorite to this day.

Sometimes...... you just need to phone a friend..... who also has no idea what they're doing 😂
Okay, I totally forgot that we filmed this and I dropped the ball posting it when the long form video went live, but BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!! And I think it's important to remember that in this life, quite often we are in situations where we have no freaking clue what we are doing, but you just have to keep on going and give it your best shot, regardless!
I will link the video in my stories! Spoiler alert: we absolutely crushed this job 💪🏻😁

My most recent trip to Toyota Headquarters to film A little commercial for the new Genuine Accessories lineup for the GR Corolla!! (spoiler alert: I may have accidentally sold myself on these products a little too hard and ordered some to install on my own car!!😆) Perhaps some of you would be interested in seeing a little "day in the life" behind the scenes from this production! I'll be sure to share when the video goes live!

Just a little photo dump😄

You have officially been warned: your Milwaukee Tool lineup will start to multiply if you don't keep a close eye on them! And for the entire month of May, trade in that tool that you haven't been impressed with and save up to $250 during the Milwaukee Tools Upgrade Event at participating The NAPA Network Stores! What are you waiting for?! Let me know if you are planning to take advantage of this upgrade event! And if so, what are you trading in, and for what? And don't come for me if that one tool somehow morphs into five a year from now!

Here is a little teaser featuring a couple of my tips for prepping your car for sale! Check out the link in my stories for the full video, featuring all 5 tips, and a bonus feature of Rustoleum’s new line of car detailing products, Wipe New!

Part 3 of my "Decoding Tire Numbers" series! This is probably the set of numbers that we are most familiar with on our tires, but can you visualize what these numbers actually mean?! I hope this video helps!
And what do you think - “Do unused tires age faster than tires on a car?” Age - not wear. Let me know in the comments!

Most uneven wear, noise, and comebacks don’t start with the pads—they start at the caliper bracket! Rust builds up under the hardware clips, reduces clearance by just a few thousandths, and suddenly your pads are binding, dragging, and tapering. The fix?
✔️Clean bracket lands to bare metal
✔️Replace hardware clips
✔️Apply thin high-temp brake l**e BETWEEN bracket & clip
✔️Use the correct grease on Caliper Sliders
✔️Light l**e on pad ears—nothing excessive

This is the difference between a professional brake job… and one that comes back. Don’t just swap out parts—restore function! The NAPA Network
