It being October, we were anticipating something more along the lines of Lazerhawk’s seminal album, Redline. A car driven by the angry ghost of a jilted lover. But this Caddy is pretty cool, too. The Caddy is Jamie Orr’s and it is likely the only late model Caddy in the USA. That’s because...

Jamie Orr is on the road again. This time, rather than driving across the nation to buy a Mk3 Golf of many colors, he’s flown to Spain to buy… a hearse? But not just any hearse. This one is based on an Audi that apparently didn’t come with A/C, despite the fact that it was made to cart around...
