Final scenes [qr]GaraGe. Fuck. Dear Rock Lee… you are what a man must be. [qr]GaraGe is moving. A rustic, bare-bones Llama barn has been its home for the last 13 years. In that time, I’ve been through more than a dozen cars. It has hosted those highest moments in my car life and been a much-needed place of quiet escape […]

Final Scenes – I


I’m entering my sixth year of owning the ZN6, and that is cause for celebration… and probably a reconsideration of what this car really is. I’ve never owned any car for this long. My panda AE86 coupe, which I bought and sold twice, and seems present in every single car life memory I possess… never spent this duration of time […]

Step Back and Look Again



By necessity, my ZN6 is now the daily tool. This is a great thing. 二十年間ハチロクを運転しているですからよ!IMHO an 86 should not thrive on the track, but it is supposed to slay every day.

It’s a great car, but my motivation at the time was to get away from the wrenches and into the driver’s seat. Hmmm… Then, the end really came when we bought our […]

2019 Is Here

… Time to reminisce. By modest standards, I’ve owned some really good cars. Or at the very least… I’ve formed some really great relationships with cars that I’ve owned. For the last two decades, AE86 has always been front of mind. Raw, wrench friendly, and personal, I still dream of AE86 often. The AE86 however, is no longer a car […]

It’s Winter…

2018 is done. I attended just four solo events this year. Fuck. The car and my performance often left me lamenting choices made. This SSC class, and the shit tires it comes with means that the car is very nearly one of the slowest cars in solo. This in itself isn’t the end of the world, but in a small […]
