Autosylum. Life through the lens of cars.
Autosylum isn’t another nondescript automotive site. We’re trying to capture the way cars take over the brain—and never give it back. The way our passion giving us the lens to view life.
It’s about the people who plan their days, weeks and years around road trips and track sessions. Those who fall asleep thinking about tire compounds, who listen to life in engine revs and see sculpture in suspension geometry.
It’s for the ones who lose track of time scrolling listings for cars they’ll never buy, or pulling apart parts they’ve never used—because it feels right.
For the automotively insane, like you and I, life doesn’t happen next to cars. It happens through them.
What We’re Building.
Merchandise
Handmade decor created from real automotive parts. From crankshaft tables to valve cover racks, every piece is a tribute to the machines we love.
High quality, uniquely designed apparel. Since we have to wear something, might as well make it about cars.
Content
Articles, videos, and eventually a podcast documenting the process of learning, experimenting, and sometimes failing.
We’re currently diving into our first major project: Project Croc—a resto-mod based on my 2006 Porsche Cayman S. It’s early days, but the journey is the point.
Community
Because no one understands the madness like another enthusiast. Our goal is to build a community, both virtually and in person, to continue to share and grow the enthusiasm for cars that gets us through life.
Resources
Event calendars, driving routes, auction guides, trusted vendors and more for those who always have one eye on the next automotive adventure or need a guiding hand.
Where it Started.
I’m Jack. I didn’t grow up rebuilding engines in my garage or fabricating custom parts out of scrap metal. I wasn’t the kid who took apart the family car—I was the kid who couldn’t stop thinking about them. The shapes, the sounds, the specs—I soaked it all in like it meant something. Because to me, it always did.
Cars weren’t just a hobby. They were a lens. A way of seeing the world.
But after years of admiring cars through drives, details and conversations, I hit a point where that wasn’t enough. I wanted to get my hands dirty, to create something real, something mechanical and meaningful. Even if I had no idea where to start.
That’s where Autosylum comes in. It’s a space for people like me—and maybe like you. People who don’t just like cars, they live through them. Who chase this passion to the point of insanity, not because it’s profitable or practical, but because it’s part of who they are. There is no off switch.
Whether you're under the lift or behind the wheel, whether you're mid-build or just daydreaming the next one—this place is for you.
Why it Matters.
There’s no off switch. You either get it or you don’t. The time we’re not spending driving, wrenching, or building—we’re thinking about it.
Autosylum is for the ones who’ve accepted that. Who find peace in the garage, joy in the struggle, and identity in a machine that was never meant to be just transportation.
This isn’t a brand. It’s a lens. A lifestyle. A sanctuary for automotive insanity.
Thanks for being part of it.
