  • Опубликовано: 14 май 2019
  • Winter was over, but the boys weren’t done with the winter beaters quite yet. They decided to drive their 5 cheap Euro cars on one of America’s favorite curvy roads. Tail of the Dragon is a technical road meant for cars with good handling; it's not exactly a perfect match for the beaters. Parts were broken, tires squealed, and smiles were had.

    UPDATE: Kevin's Audi 200 has been totaled out sadly, but thankfully everyone involved in the crash is doing okay to our knowledge. Kevin was sitting at a stop sign when two other vehicles got in a collision, sending a big ol' SUV right into the side of the 200. Hours of work wrenching vanished in mere seconds, but at least the car made it through the Ohio winter start to finish. We're going to be starting a new summer video series soon so stay tuned for some interesting builds and new content!

    Well well... so you guys came all the way down to my neck of the woods.. lol I live about an hour from the Dragon, on the TN side.. I've actually been waiting to replace my clutch after doing many major suspension upgrades to my 2004 VW Jetta 2.sLow, including several products from your awesome company, to hit up the testing grounds of my accomplishments. I do most ALL my own wrenching and looking forward to carving up some mountain sides soon. You guys should come back with some proper tuned cars and have a do over. Maybe we could make an event out of it...? Thoughts...anyone..?? You or nay??
