A new Bluffton business, selling automobiles, opened this month at 142 Vance Street and Kyle Andrus, owner, says to “expect the unexpected.”
With a name like “Enthusiast Auto Source,” the 2005 Cory-Rawson grad has a car niche all his own.
“I buy, fix and sell cars that are mostly rare, unique and in limited number,” he says.
Put another way, his business Facebook states: We specializes in rare, unique, performance and oddball vehicles that enthusiasts are passionate about. Whatever type of car you are into, we can probably help find a vehicle for you.
Rain or shine, it's BFR sand volleyball this summer at the Bluffton University sand court just off Rosenberger Drive. It was raining and wasn't shining when the Icon took these photos on Thursday. The players didn't mind. The team on this side of the net is called That's What She Set. They are playing Fricker's, on the other net side.
