Schumacher in his primeI've never been a fan of F1. How could I be really? There is just something about F1 that alienates me as an earnest driving enthusiast. I've driven lots of door slammers in auto-x situations... and as different as many of them have been, the experience that they have all offered has been at least on some level comparable to my every day drive to work. Only two or three times have I been behind the wheel of an open wheel car... and as interesting and novel as the idea of a REAL RACE CAR is... I hated the experience. I like slow cars. And that's why... I've never really been a fan of F1. At no point when watching an F1 race, can I picture myself behind the wheel. I can't imagine what that speed feels like... and I do really even care to try [...]

F1’s Only Hope

As you can tell… wordpress is bonking in IE8 with some unproportional resizing.  Meh.  Of all the things on this website that bug me, that is not high on the list. My new idealizations will bore most of you… I think this picture was my desktop background for like 2 years from 99 to 01.  The perfect AE86 used to […]

The deal with where we’re going is… that it’s a pretty rough place.  Body damage is almost certain.  Flying is almost certain.  Snow is highly probable.  Sounds like the territory of an All-Weather Monster.  We both have lots of love and a long history in AE86… but the further into this we got, the more it started to feel like […]

Change Of Plans

Not Red or GreenIt changes a LOT. This was an entirely random act, and went from idea to complete in like 10min. Basically Andrew stopped by after work and we decided right then and there we needed to do something about his WhosAlien front bumper no matter what. We found a chopped up mx73 front lip in my junk bin, forced it on the round bumper and then filled a 4" gap in between the two pieces with... duct tape. Truck bedliner on top (I'm ALWAYS out of rubber) and finished. Doing things cheap and hack is so much more fun than [...]

Flimsy Overbite

What's the deal with Wataru taking on Keisuke in stage IV anyways? Just another sign that anime writers don't know when to stop. Somehow... this might me think of him. I'm sure you've seen it already if you've lingered around in enough underground malls and Japanese toy stores... but it's new to me. And pretty bad ass IMO. How do you get the hood open though???

So… I’m still not telling you what’s going down… because in the end nothing might go down.  I’ve hyped enough stuff as it is.  This can stay a mystery. If it’s not obvious though… my AE86 is the tool to be used.  I talked about us taking a big gun to the fight before, but my AE86 and any 4AG […]
