Nandemo. Spaced out wife just says, “whatever.”

Been seriously shopping and bidding for my all weather monster. No luck yet… It’s a major struggle for me not to have cool wheels this time of the year. There’s just something about this weather and mood that makes me want to get up at 4am and go drive. Not fitting for a Jeep Cherokee. Cruised up to Drumheller last […]

The All Weather Monster Concept Continues

Maybe it’s memories past of university’s… … holy crap life is changed… Maybe it’s the Vintage club’s Vertically Challenged Hill Climb, maybe its the first ever drifting events at Race City …drifting in Lethbridge… kicking […]
Bunta Status???
Rust is the death of this. Really… how difficult would this be without it? Pretty freaking easy… we’d all be hero’s. We’d all have peace… and we wouldn’t dream half as much about carland as we do. I stumbled upon my wife browsing yahoo auctions… for 86. Maybe you think I’d be happy about that… but to me… it’s just […]
It’s Canada’s Fault
Another rain day. Yoshiko and I do work around the house, but I find spare moments to watch AE86 club while she checks her email etc. I’m convinced at this point that my attraction to these cars is purely nostalgic. I actually consider moving on… but that’s a really sad thought. AE86 is taking big hits. So many others are […]
