The movie Speed Racer looks stupid. No one really enthusiastic about cars lined up to watch that movie on opening night did they? It definitely never crossed my mind. The movie has been out for a year and a bit, and somehow, at the recommendation of a friend of a friend I sat down and watched it…. with really low […]

Moto-P once told me in my early years, about some habits that I could develop and practice every day on the street that would help me improve my driving. They included really simple things like, looking ahead, rounding corners with fluid steering motion, hitting stop points with a constant pressure on the brake pedal, and putting your rubber on painted […]

There are some minor damages there. I've been grinding pretty hard lately... but I did find time to make it out to the garage this morning and do some analyzing. I am happy that my former project/parts car is still around. It is true that this may have been a track dog at one point... but it is not that now [...]
