Offered for your consideration at NO RESERVE is one of the COOLEST 1973 7 passenger Volkswagen buses available. May we present to you my PATINA QUEEN! What a AWESOME bus to say the least! You gotta love the awesome patina fade this one sports. Wearing its most desirable Orient blue and Pastel White with a awesome ivory interior. It was never hacked, altered, or abused. It has always been a West Coast bus. It's rare being an original factory air conditioning bus. However the air conditioning is not currently functional, good news is all the air conditioning parts are present. This is a very RARE option to say the least! We recently acquired this bus from the second owners and reluctantly selling as my wife wants and automatic. It was sleeping for many years. It just had a completely rebuilt engine and carburetors. It runs and drives nice. it t has a near perfect headliner, all interior is present and nice, front seats have aftermarket covers as the the original material is aged. The body is AMAZING for being over 40 years old, just look at the pictures. Nothing like a nice original paint bus with a nice body oooooozzzzing with original Patina! This is your window of opportunity to purchase the Patina Queen Looking to own the shows? Or be the center of attention? This is sure to do the trick. Leave it stock, or lower it on Porsche Fuchs? Narrow beam etc. The possibilities are endless. The more you look, the more this bus will blow your mind. Please remember this is not a restored bus; it has some dings, scratches, and minor paint touchups over the years, which is common for being over 40 years-old. Again, don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own Patina Queen. Remember, A restored bus is a dime a dozen, a survivor like this is priceless and hard to find as most of them have been restored, and altered. Thanks for taking the time to read the description.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
