 AUTOMOTIVE LAWS ARE CHANGING

Know About Them Before They Affect You

California and federal lawmakers are constantly considering new rules involving vehicles, emissions, fuel, aftermarket parts, smog inspections, off-road vehicles, fees and transportation.

A lot of these proposals get very little attention until they're almost law.

I'm watching them.

When I find legislation that could affect drivers, mechanics, enthusiasts or vehicle owners, I'll break it down without all the government jargon.

Family Fun • Adventures • Making Memories

Scotties Hobbies isn't just about cars.

Being a dad is a huge part of my life, and some of the best adventures happen when the toolbox stays home.

From water parks and river floats to zip lining, road trips, exploring new places and trying something we've never done before, I love getting out there and making memories with my kids.

You'll find videos from our adventures including:

💦 Water parks & water adventures
🌲 Zip lining & outdoor adventures
🚗 Family road trips
🥾 Hiking & exploring
🏙️ Day trips & new places
🎢 Attractions & family activities
🍜 Trying new foods
😂 And whatever random adventure we get ourselves into next

Some trips are planned.

Some start with “Hey, you guys wanna go do something?”

Those usually end up being the best ones.
