It's come to our attention that today is St Patrick's Day.  To celebrate, our offices have entered into a bit of a debate about which of Volkswagen's green hues is best.  Clearly we're a fun bunch. All that said, below are the shades that we've agreed on.  Feel free to take a look, and let us...

Of all the email lists that we subscribe to, the daily message from Blipshift might just be the one we look forward to the most.  The design firm has been pumping out auto-themed designs for quite some time now, offering each for a very short time.  Their latest masterpiece is one that is sure...

Nicely restored, relatively unmodified first generation Volkswagen Golfs are somewhat uncommon.  Blame it on their relatively low value, or their popularity within the 'scene', but when a nicely refreshed example comes along, we can't help but take notice.  Such is the case with today's Find of...

At the moment, early Volkswagen Golf and Jetta models are in a very interesting price point.  Not quite at full-blown collector status, deals are to be had with many extremely cool first and second generation cars going for relatively little money.  Case in point is today's Find of the Day- a...

The days are getting shorter and temperatures are dropping, meaning it's the best time to pick up a winter project.  In our minds, the best project is one that runs and drives.  Preferably something that someone else has already had a jump start on, and got tired of.  Something much like today's...

It never fails.  Each year, I get back from Ocean City and immediately begin searching for that perfect Rabbit Pickup.  Some years they are fairly available at reasonable prices, but unfortunately, this is not one of those years.  It seems that Rabbit Pickups are either going up in value, or...

If you were to take all of the coolest pieces from the late 1970s and early 1980s, blend them with the wheel and suspension trends of today, using a freshly restored first-generation GTI as your canvas, this is what you'd get.  It's our favorite Find of the Day to date. The car's original...

We’ll be honest, we’ve always found Legos fascinating. Rendering our favorite cars in LEGOs is even more intriguing and we’ve previously run stories on  fan builds of cars like the Audi R18  on our sister site Fourtitude .  Some of these fan builds have found a home on LEGO's Ideas website, a...

In front of Saxon's picture-book scenery, 180 classic rarities will cause a stir.  For three days, the Greater Leipzig and Zwickau are the Czech town of Karlovy Vary will enjoy fascinating automobiles.

All enthusiasts suffer from something called 'boredom'.  Due to this shared ailment, we are often thinking of what or next wheels, modification, or car will be- sometimes just days after we've picked out the last one.  Luckily, some do not have to live under the influence of boredom and are able...

Waterfest 2014 may have already come and gone, but it is still front and center in our minds. With nearly 1700 shutter actuations, we realize that it can be a bit overwhelming to go through all of our galleries. Keeping that in mind, we will be assembling our ten favorite cars from each of our...

The Golf is 40 years young, and that's reason to celebrate. The Volkswagen Museum has dedicated a special exhibition to the birthday boy called "40 years of golf. The Early Years." 20 exhibits available to visitors from 24 July to 5 October 2014, show the power of innovation and the creative...

Not sure if you caught our Worthersee 2014 Coverage, but just in case you didn't, it's worth noting that we had well over 1000 photos spanning over a time of about 3 weeks. It's the most intensive coverage we've ever done of a show, thanks in large part to Si Gray of Si Gray Photography who was...

Worthersee 2014 was one for the recordbooks.  Coming in at roughly six times larger than Waterfest, there was plenty to see and do around the lakeside town of Reifnitz during the roughly two week invasion of cars manufactured by the Volkswagen Group.  To streamline things a bit, we have gone...
