Car Buyer Finds Shocking Photos and Letter In His New Ride's Door Panel
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor
We all get pretty stoked when we find a build sheet or something while dismantling our rides. But imagine if you found full photodocumentation of your car wrecked, sawed in half, rebuilt, and refinished as though nothing had happened. This guy in Russia got the shock of his life after he popped a door panel to replace a speaker, then discovered a stack of photos and a letter from the former owner documenting the tribulations of his Audi’s previous existence. I guess this is why in America, we have Salvage titles. Straight from English Russia, here’s the translated letter, and check out the unbelievable photos after the jump.
Dear friend,
Thanks for buying my car. Just some time before I sold it I got into an accident driving this car. Don’t worry I am ok and the car was insured. So I’ve got the money from insurance company then went to scrap metal site and found everything I needed. Bit from there bit from everywhere and I’ve got all things I needed (see photos). Then I welded everything into one piece. And here it is, almost like new. I remember that people were complaining – “What a pity that my car is so sporty but not red!” – you shouldn’t complain anymore as you can see the driver’s door is red from inside.

I found this trolling VWVortex for new caption contest photos. Is this the most ghetto repair of all time?

Got a spare $5,000 plus airfare? Well, then why not head out to the Arctic Circle with the Porsche Travel Club and practice getting sideways in a Carrera 4? That’s what Matthew over at VWVortex did, and he has the story and pics to prove it!

Fun in the Snow Subie Style!

Four Subaru buddies in Cincinnati decided to go for a little winter drive last week, sticking to mostly unplowed roads in the backwoods. Jeremy, who owns the black 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX, took some great pics. I have a few more after the jump, but you can see the rest over at VWVortex.

Check out loxxrider’s epic picture post over at VWVortex, which documents his trip to Gainesville Raceway this weekend. I loved this turbo s2000 by Central Florida Turbo with the serious wire tuck. And don’t miss the white xB part-way down the page.

The Moving Roadblock
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
I could definitely relate to this thread over on VWVortex. This is pretty much a constant for me in Seattle, with an army of beige Camrys and Priuses driving slow and clogging the roads. How often do you fall victim to the moving roadblock?

Stormtrooper Gets Owned by Darth Vader

I’m sure that the Stormtrooper was quite proud of himself, driving an Exige and all. But I think we can now safely conclude that Darth Vader is faster. See the Exige after the jump! Via VWVortex
