Bought something… … Not an all-weather monster. … Not an AE86…I came upon a few realizations recently. One: AE86 is played out. I want to be different. I want to be in small company again.

September… I’m hella impatient. Winter makes AE86 life less appealing. Or rather… winter makes AE86 life less appealing, having experienced an all weather monster. My wife and I were talking and remember what the RNN14 was like last year. I called it, the best car I’ve ever owned… and despite all the beauties and vintage feelings inherent in AE86, something […]
