4 I’ve been torturing myself like crazy. I’m wavering somewhere between 25% and 90% NOT purchasing a new 86.

For my own pleasure, I’d like to add a little bit to the engine, but that’s simple. The Celica on […]
1 I helped out at an SASC Winter Driving School yesterday. Very good time. I enjoy the challenge of 4WD, and the opportunity to reflect on driving by observing others.
