DIY Your Dub!

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

Calling all Volkswagen owners! We’re opening up our shop for a do-it-yourself open house on April 7th! During our “DIY Your Dub” event, VW owners are invited to bring their cars to our service department and work on them using our tools and equipment.

“We’re doing this to overcome the stereotypical car shop while educating people on their vehicles,” said GM Jonathan Fowler. “Our belief is that transparency with customers on the process of buying a car and working on a car is the best thing we can do.”

From novice mechanics to experts, everyone is invited. Just be sure to schedule your 2-hour shift to work on your own vehicle by calling Ralph Jameson at 405-310-4444 or emailing him at ralphj@fowlervw.com. Appointments are required.

We’ve been studying up on our Bigfoot Observers Field Manual and it appears the conditions are ripe for a Bigfoot sighting at Plaza Fest on October 1. According to the experts, a surefire way to attract the mythical beast is through awesome art, amazing music and hordes of hipsters.

But to absolutely, positively ensure Bigfoot’s appearance at the Plaza Fest, WE NEED YOUR HELP! We’ll be rounding up the best Bigfoot callers in OKC to howl away on the Fowler VW music stage.

And whoever has the magical howl that brings Bigfoot out into the open will win some pretty cool stuff like:

VDub Sessions Episode #24: Artist Kris Kanaly

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

Oklahoma City-based artist Kris Kanaly hopped into the Spy Van and crafted an original piece of art during Live on the Plaza last month.

Kanaly has a really interesting family history. His family owned an art gallery for almost 100 years.

And all of that happened in Oklahoma (it unfortunately closed last year).

We met up with Kanaly inside DNA Galleries and had Derek and Kurt of The Pretty Black Chains help out with some original music for an interview. Kanlay talked about his interest in street art and growing up with skater culture.

Kanaly is responsible for painting the outside of Wayne Coyne’s new art gallery.
