Holt Arena 2024: Turbo LS powered AWD VW Käfer!

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show.

Wait! The radiator is in the back?

Six liter, turbo Chevy LS V8 powered, all-wheel-drive 1973 VolksWagen Beetle (Käfer)!

Wait! Where is the fuel tank, where is the spare tire?

Only two seats?

Like moths to a flame, the people swarmed ’round, here is my weak video of the strong turbo LS powered Bug:

In Utah, some guy named Smitty (Duncan Smith) got bored with his old German made bug and decided to kit-bash it with a new ‘merican made motor:

Pre-Halloween Poky Toys for Tots car show, boo!

On 21OCT2023, a big pre-Halloween car show/USMC Reserve’s Toys-4-Tots drive/Trunk or Treat was held in the Old Town area of Pocatello, Idaho.

The show started on the 9th hour of the day, I arrived about an hour-n-half late, and was greeted by the roar of monster motors, video by me:

There was a constant coming-and-going of people and machines. More videos by me:

By the 12th hour the parking lot was jumping, more videos by me:

A group called SE Idaho Bass Heads helped raise $685 for the local Toys for Tots.

The Trunk-Treat began in the 15th hour:

By the 18th hour it was all over, and some guy named Crazy Carl thought the show was the awesome-ist yet!

The rollout for the Pocatello Car Club cruise started at 19 hours (7pm), hot vehicles in the hot 100+ Fahrenheit climate:

This was the quiet street to view car show cruisers, even though Grandma claimed “I can’t hear you!”:

July’s action on Main Street wasn’t as loud as it was in June:

It seemed most of the car-cruise action was taking place in the Center Street ‘tunnel’:

On 10JUN2023, the Oldies Rod & Custom Car Show was held in Historic Oldtown Pocatello, Idaho, to benefit the Senior Activity Center‘s (SAC) food delivery service: “It’s the people that we serve are underserved in our community. And so, it really helps with the nutrition for them so that they can hopefully stay in their homes longer and with activities and everything else. That’s part of our goal to.”-Pam Landon, Secretary for SAC

The automobile show was free to the public, proceeds from food vender sales, and raffle ticket sales, went to help SAC.  Just to let you know how much the help is needed, in 2022 the Pocatello SAC served more than 22-thousand meals to local old people.

Here is a sampling of the vehicles that were there (click on each image to make them bigger):

Walk around video of the show, which was supported by many local business sponsors, most of the video has no audio as they were blaring copyrighted music at the event:

Planed-emic, 2020: SOUTHEAST IDAHO PANDEMIC ROAD-TRIP

“We’ll be hiring a ton of people!” Suddenly 70-thousand auto workers unemployed!

22 August 2016 / 19:36 UTC-07 Tango 01 (02 Shahrivar 1395/19 Dhu I-Qa’da 1437/21 Bing-Shen 4714)

Never ending techno-glitches, rebelious parts suppliers, crashing sales and more conspiratorial moves towards all-electric vehicles could kill-off a once iconic car brand; Volkswagen.

The latest tech propblem for VW is that its eletronic lock system can be easily hacked, according to research at United Kingdom’s University of Birmingham.   That means at least 100-million VW, Skoda and Seat vehicles are vunerable!  The study also found that Ford, Peugeot and Citroen vehicles are also screwed up.

Despite seemingly never ending techno-probs for VW, the Deutschland based car maker is ramping up plans to make more tech heavy electric cars.  Five new electric models are planned, with the prototype of one to be revealed next month at the Paris Auto Show.  To confirm my suspicions that the whole diesel scandal is a Rockefeller funded False Flag operation to push vehicle owners into cars they don’t want, VW says it will produce one million electric cars per year by 2025. 

In Deutschland, nearly 70-thousand automotive industry employees found themselves suddenly unemployed when vehicle production was halted at six VW factories, and worker strikes hit several independantly run parts factories!  For the past few weeks news reports said the looming shutdowns were to be blamed on disputes with parts suppliers. Parts suppliers (controlled by a company called Prevent) accuse VW of violating its own contracts and say VW hasn’t been paying them.  However, perhaps the real reason for the production halt is the fact that VW sales in the United States fell for a ninth straight month, an 8% decline in July.

Sales in the Fatherland of Deutschland fell 8.7%.  But that’s nothing compared to the 32% decline in Brazil (for the first half of 2016)!

Main stream anti-diesel news media keeps blaming the situation on the False Flag diesel scandal, but most VW diesel owners love their TDIs: “The irony is that Volkswagen Group has been a champion of diesel propulsion…the best in the industry… so good, they could convert most hardcore petrolheads.”-CarScoops

Interestingly Spain based Gestamp, a VW parts maker, says it can’t find enough employees for its factory in Tennessee to handle orders for VW’s new sport utility vehicle: “We’ll be hiring a ton of people!”-Madalyn Roberts, Gestamp HR

VICTORY FOR VW DIESEL LOVERS, OR VICTORY FOR ANTI-DIESEL NUTS?

RUSSIANS HAVE THE MONEY. …VW…MAKES THEIR MOVE

Victory for VW Diesel lovers, or Victory for anti-Diesel nuts?

Last year VolksWagen suddenly revealed that their emissions software on their newer diesel cars only works when it knows that the vehicle is being smog tested.  But has there been actual independent testing of that claim, or we just have to take VW’s word?

Reuters is reporting that the state of California is now working with VW to test new software that will allow diesel loving VW owners to keep their vehicles, rather than sell them back.

But there’s more proof (to me) that this whole thing is a global anti-diesel scam.  I’ve already reported that the Rockefellers ‘ordered’ the car manufacturing industry to shift towards electric cars, months before VW suddenly made their ’emission scam’ revelation (the oil baron Rockefellers are the ones who successfully sued Rudolph Diesel because his motor was originally designed to run on vegetable oil).  VW’s latest deal with U.S. states will see VW spending billions of U.S. dollars reducing emissions of diesel vehicles it didn’t even make!

That’s right, VW has agreed to spend more than $2.7-billion USD to make diesel vehicles, made by other manufactures, less polluting!

German tax administrators are accusing Volkswagen of tax evasion in connection to their emissions rigging scandal.

That scandal has now spread to gas powered vehicles in Europe.

The tax evasion accusations focus on five top level VW employees and tax breaks for producing vehicles which meet Germany’s low emission standards.

Has anybody found it suspicious that from day one the execs at VW admitted they sabotaged their own Turbo Direct Injection (TDI) diesel powered cars? Or that they seem almost happy to halt TDI sales and recall millions of TDIs around the world?  This is a first in the world of Corporations who normally deny, deny, deny.

Where’s Idaho, I know they’re some hardcore Diesel fans in Idaho!

TDI vehicles were the fastest growing sales segment for VW, and VW administrators intentionally modified an emissions computer program that even the designer of (Bosch) warned,  in writing, not to!  Now realize that VW is pushing sales of their new electric car called the e-Golf.

Just a few days ago a survey revealed that 75% of electric car ‘owners’ refuse to actually buy the car, instead they lease.  But that’s not all, leases of electric vehicle (EV) in the United States peaked in 2013 and have been steadily declining since then (in 2013 EV leasing was at 80%).  The survey excluded the damned expensive Tesla cars because their average monthly lease is almost $9-hundred per month with a nearly $7-thousand USD down payment!

In the European country of France EV sales actually went negative!

Why lease an electric car instead of buy it?  Because it costs almost as much to replace the environmentally deadly batteries as it does to buy a newer used car!   So, herein lies the difference between e-car operators and diesel vehicle owners: E-car operators are not committed to the vehicle, they’re short timers, they’re not long term ‘car lovers’ who want to actually own a piece of rolling art.  Diesel vehicle owners want a vehicle they can hang onto long after it’s been paid off, their looking for a long term commitment.  This is something the automotive industry does not want.

The automotive industry wants turn-a-round, they want to sell new cars constantly.  In Germany, where VW is based, government control freaks have been trying to ban older cars for decades.   In 2008, Berlin, Cologne and Hanover created strict ‘pollution’ laws.  As one resident of Berlin commented “The problem is that this affects ONLY people who have a Diesel that is more then 2 years old or a normal gasoline car that has no catalytic converter (my 1986 VW bus does have one and I got a green sticker means I can go inside the city with it). In the end it affects people who have small bussinesses most – people who need to drive small vans – which are 99% diesels here in germany or people who have gotten onto the cheap diesel bandwagon that has hit germany in the mid 90s – mostly poor families or budget aware people…  …Its meant to give the german automotive industry a bump (hey we have an ultra conservative government without greens or such in power what you expect?) because its struggling thats all thats coming out of it.”    It’s all about guaranteed sales!

You can’t even work on your own car in Germany unless you use an approved car Hobby Work Shop: “…doing work on your car is technically not illegal, but doing any sort of work where the possibility that fluids can leak onto the ground is, except for on a sealed ground, for instance an epoxy sealed garage. Meaning no oil changes, no working on the cooling system, no brake fluid changes. If caught I believe the fine can be anywhere between 500 to 10,000 euros. Therefore one should look for what is known as a Hobbywerkstatt, there you can rent a lift, tools, and are able to dispose of all fluids without risking it.”-Twitch_de Frankfurt am Main

There are now some exemptions to those A-hole laws, such as ‘classic’ car clubs who conduct a yearly protest cruise to the capital Berlin where they drive their decades old cars ’round and ’round the capitol building, honking their aged horns and revving their engines.

France has just passed an anti-old car law as well.  Starting in 2016 the city of Paris will ban cars made in 2001 or earlier, classic cars are not exempted! City A-holes will ‘give’ old car owners the equivalent of $1,500 USD to buy a new car!  (perhaps it’s really about boosting those negative EV sales)

The city of Los Angeles, in California, tried that in the early 1990s and it was a failure.  Why?  The city was going to compensate old car owners with only a few hundred dollars towards buying a new car, and classic cars were not exempted.  When all the classic car owners got together and threatened a massive class action lawsuit based on the value of their expensively restored cars the A-hole city administrators backed off.

Then there’s the proven fact that the more ‘electrified-computerized’ your car is the easier it is for the government (or some other nefarious ne’er-do-well) to hack into and directly control your vehicle.

For conspiracy aficionados; why is the U.S. terror agency known as USAID pushing the leasing of EVs through their Finance and Economic Development (the true FED) program?  This brings up another point about EVs, they’re production and sales are supported by taxpayer subsidies!  (“The world’s most electrified auto market didn’t rev its engines overnight….It took a lot of work and a lot of subsidies for Norway to become a major electric-vehicle success story”)

Diesels represent true independence, especially if you have an older vehicle that can easily run on bio-diesel (which is basically vegetable oil)!  Hell, Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel built his iconic engine to run on vegetable oil: “In 1900 a small Diesel engine was exhibited by the Otto company which, on the suggestion of the French Government, was run on Arachide [peanut] oil, and operated so well that very few people were aware of the fact. The motor was built for ordinary oils, and without any modification was run on vegetable oil….. I have recently repeated these experiments on a large scale with full success and entire confirmation of the results formerly obtained.”   He is the first documented victim of the monstrous U.S. Standard Oil company, The American oil millionaire John D. Rockefeller became his nemesis because diesel engines consumed less oil than other engines….at the expense of the profits of oil companies.”   He was later ‘disappeared’ from a ship in the english Channel, later an unidentifiable body was found floating near Norway!

What does oil family Rockefeller have to do with the government and industry push towards electric vehicles?   In 2014 a British news report revealed that the Rockefeller heirs were dumping their investments in petroleum oil and shifting to alternative energy, such as electric cars!
