Hot Rod Adventures: No Brakes!
There have been many requests for this and it’s been a LONG time coming…
If you’ve been reading Grease Girl for awhile, you know how much I love the “adventures” Stude gets me into – so when it came to retelling my brake loss story with reenactment pictures, I couldn’t think of a better way to do it then by creating a comic strip. After all, the story is quite comic (although it certainly wasn’t funny when it happened!) So without further ado… click here to continue to the comic strip…

Introducing Project Pepe’
I couldn’t be happier about a tiny, two-wheeled project that recently found its way into my garage. For years I’ve dreamt of exploring the open road on two wheels – with life and other garage projects taking up time and money, there just hasn’t yet been space to think of pursuing my two-wheeled dream. Which is part of the reason why I’m so thrilled that this 1977 Peugeot 103 Moped just fell into my lap!
Carted home by my husband via a friend-of-a-friend, this little 49cc little-sister-to-a-real-bike needs some tender loving care after sitting for years. Click here to see more of Project Pepe’!
Stude in Motion
When a photographer friend of mine asked if Stude and I would be interested in doing a film-noir style shoot with him, it didn’t take a second thought! He’s been working on perfecting a new custom-built rig to shoot cars at speed and wanted to shoot Stude in a dark, industrial setting. I love the way it turned out! I like to think I’m racing away from a villain chasing behind me - write your own story in the comments below…or at least read the comments for The Gear Head Skeptic‘s fabulous fiction!

Falcon’s First Flight
After our mad-dash 10-day Falcon project almost 2 months ago (has it really been that long!?), Falcon is now ready to roll! After a couple of minor glitches to work past and two very busy schedules between Ethan and I, we’ve finally gotten to a place in which we feel confident that the engine, brakes, and operating systems are up to par! After we can bankroll its registration, it will really be on the road. A more thorough update will be coming – if you want to hear it’s engine rev, head over to Grease Girl’s Facebook page for the video.
