I’ve been managing rear-drive cars in Canadian winters since I learned how to drive. I shredded AE86, TE72, and AW11 everywhere before I bought my first AWD car. RNN14, ST185H, GDA were an easy button for winter driving. I thought I would never go back. There is something so satisfying about managing a rear driver in the winter though. In […]
This site used to be about cars. Now it’s just whining and reminiscence. Details of car life don’t interest me the way they used to. For example, I bought another JCE10 this summer, spent a couple of hard days with it in the barn (RIP), drove it 10,000 km in less than 2 months, and never mentioned a thing here. […]
2 Yup, it’s still winter. Two cars sit idle through this mess… and there are multiple reasons. Low down cars on stiff springs suck everyday.

These are all excuses for things we sometimes don’t want to […]
2 Dead of winter. The ZN6… which I had planned to drive through the snow and salty slush, sits under cover of tin.

I don’t think that really has […]
2 Control capacity. I think a lot of people really don’t get it, but raw speed does not interest me much at all. Formula 1? I’m more interested in vintage touring cars. Downforce equipped super car on R comps? Nah I’d rather a 150hp lightweight on skinny street tires. 4WD 3 LSD rally car light on ice? A RWD boat seems […]
You know the car is only so interesting to drive, when I’d rather play with the camera. This is my Canon sitting on a bench with exposure time set to 8.0 seconds, me pushing the button then walking into the frame. Looks like photoshop but feels like magic. That said, for the sake of trying to get my wife interested […]
