CAR TIPS & TRICKS
The Hearth
Welcome to the Hearth of Tess Drive. This isn’t just a garage. It’s a place where real people come together — mechanics, dreamers, weekend wrenchers, and anyone who loves the smell of grease and the sound of an engine coming back to life. Here we share stories, mistakes, victories, and the quiet satisfaction of building something with your own hands. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been turning wrenches for decades, you belong here. Pull up a chair, grab a cold coffee, and stay a while. The tools are dirty, the conversation is honest, and the door is always open.
TESS DRIVE RELIC CAR GIRLS
Welcome to the Garage
Hey y’all, welcome to Aged Limited — home of the Tess Drive girls. We’re just a bunch of regular folks who love turning wrenches, making things pretty, and bringing old metal back to life. Whether you’re a seasoned builder or you’re just dreaming about your first project, pull up a chair. The coffee’s cold, the tools are dirty, and the conversation is real.
Tess, Jellybean, Rin, Tia, and Raven are all here — each with their own story, their own style, and their own way of helping you build something you’re proud of.
Click on any of us to come hang out in our corner of the garage. We can’t wait to meet you.

Meet the Garage Crew
No garage is complete without its four-legged (and two-legged, and winged) family. Here are the real bosses of Tess Drive:
- Cat – Tess’s independent silver cat. She judges everything from the hood of the ‘55 and only shows up when she feels like it.
- Cluckers – Tess’s sassy chicken. She thinks she owns the place and has been known to ride in the passenger seat.
- Yuki – Rin’s sleek black cat. Quiet, precise, and always perfectly balanced on the toolbox.
- Blue – Tia’s loyal German Shepherd. The official guard of the junkyard and master of the “I’ll wait right here” stare.
- Stray Cat – The official shop cat who showed up one day and never left. Master of dramatic naps on the workbench.
- Fred – Jellybean’s loud white cockatoo. Professional troublemaker, snack thief, and self-appointed supervisor.
- Shadow – Raven’s mysterious raven. Perches in the rafters and occasionally offers dry wisdom in a proper British accent.
They don’t just live here — they help run the place. Come meet the whole crew… if they feel like it.
