As we ring in 2012, I am reminded of one of my favorite New Years quotes…

“New Year’s is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions.” – Mark Twain

Ah the hell with Mark Twain. I’m pretty sure Spielberg never adapted any of his books anyway, so how good could he have been. On behalf of everyone here at Rezmoto, I would like to wish you and your friends and family a Happy and a Healthy New Year.

Cheers, and Drive safe!

For all of you who once spent hundreds of hours as kids building anything and everything out of Lego, there may be one more kit you will want for Christmas. For this holiday season Lego will be releasing a limited edition VW Camper Van model with all the classic bells and whistles of the actual car. Classic two tone red and white, check. pop-top camper, check. And hippie memorabilia, check. It has everything you would expect to find in a sixties VW bus just miniaturized in tiny brick form. All-in-all a solid model that is perfect for any Volkswagen fan who once had a love affair with Legos. Now the question is who will figure out how to slam it?

It’s the biggest, it’s the best, its the baddest, it’s H2O International, and it’s coming back to Ocean City, Maryland in less than six weeks. If chemistry class is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear H2O, check out our article about last years event. Then, get your travel plans in order and your car registered, because this is one show you can’t miss. Hundreds of fellow dubbers will be making the trek from all over the country to take part in one of the premier VAG events of the year.  Celebrating their 14th year, this H2O looks to be the best yet. As always we will be out in force covering H2O, we’re already counting down the days.

It seems that every few weeks I’m back on here posting a new Drifting video from Eastern Europe, and this week is no exception. Although they may not have the budgets of a Ken Block or Tanner Faust, the cars they run are dope and the videography tops anything I have seen out of the states. This video comes out of Warsaw, Poland covering an event called Night Drift that can only be described as the Fast and the Furious brought to life. Night Drift gives off a cool vibe of legal underground racing that I think the U.S. could definitely use.

Can you imagine becoming the owner of a car dealership at 19, and a Audi/Lamborghini dealership no less? I know I can’t, but Brett David now 23 took the rains of his father’s dealership after a tragic accident and grew Prestige Imports into the most successful dealership in the country. Automotive News has the full interview up on their site now.

The top-selling Audi dealer in the United States is 23 years old — and he has been running the business since he was 19.

His name is Brett David, a wunderkind who took over Prestige Imports of Miami in 2007 after a tragedy.

David inherited the business when his father and automotive mentor, Irv David, died unexpectedly of a fourth heart attack at age 56.

He almost didn’t get the chance. Some people around him thought he was too young for the responsibility.

And in a letter penned just six months before his death, Irv David instructed Brett to sell the dealership because of the strain it would cause. The letter was delivered to Brett after his father’s death.

“My father said it was the stress of the business that had killed him,” said Brett, who will be 24 next month. “He wanted me to sell the dealership.”

That was one wish Brett said he couldn’t honor. Given his concern for employees, his vision for the store and a streak of rebelliousness that manifested itself early in life, Brett David had to give it a go.
