Harvey’s Homecoming
With his travels around Virginia soon coming to a close, no adventure would be complete without checking out a little bit of fun in his own home town. Harvey visited the Mathews County Farmers Market this past Saturday to spread turtle crossing awareness. Harvey the box turtle made many new friends and had some fun…
Read MoreHarvey takes action against cars hitting turtles.
Harvey decided survival was not enough and while he got lucky many other turtles never get a 2nd chance. It’s his time to take action! He decided that it was time to go straight to the State Capital with his grievances, Richmond VA. The plan was simple. Find a good place to stay and search…

Read MoreDelightfully Trashy! – 1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC 5.7
Nothing says “hot rod” quite like a red Camaro with shining paint, a fancy interior, big back tires and rumbling powerful V8 under the hood. Unfortunately, this Camaro has none of those things. Instead, we can offer you a delicate balance of faded red paint, dents, ragged out interior, and an overheating engine. Picture yourself…

Read MoreThunder Turd Turbo Poop!
Everyone’s favorite ford to give a funny name. There really is not much here to make fun of. This 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe is actually in fairly decent looking shape. It seems to be all there too. The automatic trans is an absolute tragedy but since we don’t have a key we won’t have to…

If you are like us you appreciate vehicles that exhibit a perfect balance of quality, performance, reliability, comfort, and style. Here at Roscoe’s, we don’t have that vehicle. What we do have is this Ford Pinto, and for $750 this shining example of why so much of the ’70s was just bad and needs to…
Read MoreMake turtle friends, prevent turtle pizza! Please help them cross the road.
Sharing less than 5 minutes of your time can change the whole world for a little turtle trying to cross the road. It may seem as tho they are suicidal or just plain stupid but this is not the case. All too often whats occurred is a road has been built between where they normally…
Read More“Stumper” an explanation for the jeep rat rod thing in the corner of our shop.
This whole project started a few not so short years ago with a relatively simple idea: “After years of wishy-washy feelings towards modifying this car or that, I decided that I may have more motivation and better results making the whole car, more or less… Goals: Handle and stop like a Vette, Look like a…
