We match.

Umm.. I dunno. This may be my last post for a while. I have all these questions for myself. I guess.

I think I must have lived my life too fast when I was younger. It came crashing back. My skin has been really hot all day. I've been trying to keep cool. Kinda just been running my hands under water and touching my face and the back of my neck.

I don't know if it's working. It's not as soothing as I'd like.


What am I supposed to do? Where do I go from here? It's time to put my shoes back on and walk. I don't get to see your feet kicking along with me anymore.

Up, up and away.. I suppose.



Goodbye.. :/

FUCK.


FUCK FUCK FUCK

Meh

It's been a pretty trying week. My patience is really admirable, even to myself.

Yesterday Candy, myself, Alicia, Matty and Bridget went to see They Might Be Giants free show in Boston. Then we went to Friendly's and I threw up.

All in all it was very fun though.


Cars. Crunch time.

Battle: Round 666. Shane Lach v. Kevin Starling

The undisputed


kekeke

The Underdog


This was Kevin's first time really with the opportunity to get busy. I call it opporTUNAty. Go ahead, ask me why.

So..we went to the "auto-x" event at NCC in Nashua. Total bust. Failure burrito. They must have just had something against s-chassis. At least..there is no other reasonable explanation which I can ascertain.

This is the breakdown:
-Kevin Starling shows up in s13 early for start time. Posted start was 9am. The guy he spoke with turned him away, noting that they were just setting up, and the event would not actually commence until 10am.

-Kevin Starling calls me to alert. Due-ly noted.

-After a light morning snack / coffee run to Dunks, we adjourn and go to the school.

-After waiting several minutes to gain access to parking lot, the teacher/coordinator meets us before we walk over to the course. He states that he doesn't mind if we spectate, however, we will not be able to run the course for the following reasons:
1) We did not make the tech inspection, which began promptly circa 9am.
2) This event, though advertised as a public event, was in fact exclusively set up for students
3) No one there knew who we were

-He asked us to sign a waiver to spectate. We obliged.

-After about an hour we called bogus and quickly shuffled off to our cars so we could bounce.

-Upon leaving the lot, we had to cross the course. We approached very slowly. One of the drivers/event hosts approached the car. We rolled down the window to ask what the best exit strategy would be. Event driver yells "DO NOT DRIVE ON THE GRASS, GO AROUND THE CONES". Kevin Phan says okay. Event driver again yells (note in a more threatening tone at this point) "DO NOT LEAVE THIS PLACE SIDEWAYS. WE WILL CALL THE COPS. WE HAVE YOUR PLATES". Kevin, taken aback jokes "what? okay..this is FWD". The dude was NOT amused. He again threatened and demanded unreasonably that we go 5mph as we exit. In the mean time, we drive past another driver who is shouting our license plate numbers across the parking lot to the event admin.

Talk about outrageous. We did nothing to instigate the hostility towards us. From minute zero, you could tell that they did not want us there. No one looked our way and everyone was standoffish.

Epic bull plop.


So we hosted our own event...called one corner, one car at a time. Even a cop joined us. He was on our side.

Rocky Dennis was real!

So...as per usual...no big update. I wish there were but I just haven't had the time. Really. I did interview for a management position at work :fingers crossed:

Anyways.. The hatch is no closer than it was the last few posts. Been lazy. Although, my buddy did catch an account with a parts dealer..so hopefully I will be getting the needed rings and bearings! Fuck!

At any rate..came home the other day and saw this:



For those of you who can't tell.. it's a MOTHER FUCKING MONSTER TRUCK TOWING ANOTHER MOTHER FUCKING MONSTER TRUCK! Shoot!

Kevin Phan is the Champeen on breaking tie rods. Which brings me to my next point..suspension arms for the hatch. Also, another set of Whiteline sways for the vert. And other misc goodies.

Anyways.. I think I am going to try and pony up dough and get some Battle Version / PBM suspension parts. Why not? Testicles!

Oh hey, I test fit the new carpet, seats, and new dash for the vert. Shit will ball like Jordan. Swear to mother fucking monster truck god.



I finally sold my eibachs. I did this because I picked up some Tein Super Street coilovers for the vert. Maximum comfort, maximum man pants dropping. Ghey. Actually..fuck..it's a turn of phrase. Not gay! It's true. Dudes love 240s. No homo, bro. Protein!

Kevin Starling and I were supposed to pick up the Suzuki today. Guess what? It's no longer happening. Unfortunate circumstances that were out of Jason's hands. Ah well. Things don't like to go right anyways.


Dog life is sometimes pretty sweet. Though sometimes one dog decides to pee on you. Then it's more bittersweet.




Peace!

Sunday, Sunday.

So guys.. been a bit I guess. This week was alright. Got a good deal of things accomplished. My sister's 18th birthday for one.. and it was a success. food was delicious of course! Hung out with Kevin Phan and John after work on Tuesday. Kevin broke a Tie Rod while eating Doritos I guess. Weird. At any rate, Jordan, Rusty Weed, and some other dude came and met up. We were able to source a tie rod from Petey the next day and magic happened. Sick.

This weekend was slow but good. Got an oil/ filter change done on the Lancer. Upgraded to K&N filtration via airbox. Thank god I did that too. The lancer feels better with the new filter, full synthetic, and bigger wheels. Candy and I are thinking of upgrading to Fujita and possibly a works tune.

Also, Kevin P came and helped swap up the coilovers for the vert. Oh! Did I note that I picked up some Tein Super Streets for the vert? Immaculate, unused condition. A SEXCELLENT SCORE if I do say so myself. Toan and Shane Lach came by for help and moral support as well. Oh, Squid too. That guy.. lol

So I went to go take some pictures of the vert today with said coilovers installed and look what I see hanging in our driveway lot:

BLAM!


Tada!


Squibbly Flabdelly Doo!


Of course I talked to the guys. Both were chill, and were a little pumped to see all the 240s here yesterday. They didn't have time to come by and check out what we were doing but were happy to see some car stuff going on. One of the dudes works at a body shop ($core!) and told me to holler at him when I need work done.

And here is a shot of the vert. Front needs moar low, IMO. But we will see what it looks like when it gets the piggy lip. Gotta get the skirts too! Also gotta paint the other wheels!!! Sheeeesh!





Well...more to come!

1973 Suzuki GT750

A buddy of mine at work (Jason) offered to let me take his old bike if I could pick it up.


So stoked. Just need a way to go get it this week. Hoping I can work it out seemlessly. Yea boy!


This is Jason by the way:

This is my buddy's new website. For those of you into photography. He's new, but I still think he is promising.


He plans on doing commercial photography primarily.
