October 2026, me in front of a 2004 BMW E46 M3 Convertible SMG. We used the car as a prop for family picture day and my son’s senior pics. My wife thought it’d be fun to do a Ralph Lauren kinda thing. The car came to me via a good friend who picked it up after a tree fell on it.  It then sat for three years and the mice started a home on top of the engine. The drive train had a huge clank when put in gear, enough to scare me not to drive it further than around the block. The top didn’t go down, the heat was stuck on high, only 4 cylinders fired, back tires showed cord and the right rear control arm was bent from a tow strap… but hey, I can’t say no to a cheap 180,000 mile project. We fixed it all and I now have a spirited driver with a top that needs a little shove before disappearing beneath the tonneau cover.

Born outside Detroit, Michigan founder Groosh (nickname since high school, short for Grew-Shay) has a storied history in automotive with new found love for American iron. Starting with a job Automobile magazine two years after their launch in the 80’s, a passion for cars grew to become a career. He proceeded to work for Jeep and Chrysler advertising, helped launch Kia Motors America at the California headquarters in the 90’s, oversaw Honda and Acura interactive networks plus helped develop the in-house CGI car modeling arm for eVox Productions.

Current automotive events inspired this blog as an extension of Motor Car Market magazine founded in 2006. But running a small Porsche parts business, restoring cars and bikes has changed its focus. To compliment his work, Paul writes about parts and projects he searches for in the market and would ultimately put in his garage if it fit more, he had more money, and his wife would approve. Restoration Wednesday’s is an ongoing update of his current project.

Hopefully these posts will inspire, maybe help you find something unique or at the very least entertain. Keep in mind, he doesn’t own them all.  He just writes about cars in the market with links to where they are offered.  You can follow his own projects, buy parts he probably has for sale or check his personal website Groosh.com showcasing automotive photography, paintings and other work.

Paul will entertain buying all loved cars that can’t find or need new homes. I promise to make them better before ever moving them on to new caretakers in life.

Care to write him? Give him tips on cars coming to market? Tell him to stop writing in the 3rd person?
