2025 Tesla Model 3 Performance with just 2,500 miles in for a Stealth Hitches installation.

Practically brand new, this Model 3 received a Stealth Hitch rack system to add bike-carrying capability while maintaining the clean factory appearance. When not in use, the receiver remains hidden, making it an elegant OEM+ solution for active Tesla owners.

1999 Porsche 911 Carrera towed in after the clutch pedal went to the floor.

While addressing the failed clutch system, we took the opportunity to install an LN Engineering LLC IMS bearing upgrade and rear main seal, send the transmission to CMS for overhaul, and fit Numeric shifter cables. The project was completed with fresh fluids and a LIQUI MOLY oil service.

Keeping the water-cooled classics on the road.

Just unveiled: the BMW M Concept Neue Klasse, previewing the electric M3 expected in 2027.

With four motors and an estimated 800-900 horsepower, BMW joins Ferrari and Mercedes-AMG in the next era of performance EVs.

Much like the controversial G8X before it, this bold new design is sure to divide enthusiasts. What do you think?

Wheel Wednesday. Wagon Wednesday. Audi RS6 Avant on Vossen Wheels HFX-2 wheels. Few cars blend supercar performance and wagon practicality like the RS6. Fast, functional, and proof that family haulers don't have to be boring.

2016 Volkswagen GTI with just 31k miles in for APR Stage 1 CARB legal ECU tuning, APR DSG tuning, and a NEUSPEED catback exhaust system.

The EA888 responds well to basic modifications, and APR Stage 1 remains one of the most popular upgrades for the platform. Combined with DSG tuning and a catback exhaust, the result is improved drivability, quicker shifts, and added sound while remaining emissions compliant.

Audi is back in the supercar game!

The new Nuvolari packs 987 horsepower from a twin-turbo V8 hybrid, a 10,000 RPM redline, and production limited to just 499 cars worldwide.

Sharing its roots with the Lamborghini Temerario, this may be the closest thing we've seen to a modern-day R8 successor. Audi claims a 217 mph top speed and a 0-62 mph time of 2.6 seconds.

Wheel Wednesday. Going topless. Audi R8 V10 Spyder on HRE 522M wheels in Polished Clear.

The polished finish gives the 522M a classic look that contrasts nicely against the modern lines of the R8. Combined with the naturally aspirated V10 and open-air driving experience, this is one of those combinations that's becoming harder to find every year.

We carry HRE and other leading wheel brands and can help spec the right setup for your Audi.

BMW M Monday. 2026 BMW M5 Touring in for an Akrapovic Exhaust System exhaust system with carbon fiber tailpipes and H&R wheel spacers.

The latest M5 Touring combines twin turbo V8 power, hybrid technology, and wagon practicality. We're installing an Akrapovič exhaust system along with spacers to refine the factory wheel fitment. Part 2 will let the exhaust do the talking.

1972 BMW 3.0CS in for clutch hydraulic repairs.

Diagnosis found a leaking clutch slave cylinder and low fluid level. A new slave cylinder was installed and the clutch hydraulic system was refilled and bled, getting this classic BMW back on the road.

With just over 8,000 BMW 3.0 CS coupes produced, the E9 remains one of BMW's most recognizable classic designs more than 50 years later.

Also, a thank you to our friends at Cavanaugh’s Finest for supplying the detailing products that help keep classics like this looking their best.
