I once knew a dog, or should I say..she once knew me

Hey. What's goin' on? Nothing incredibly new here.

Thursday though..whooooo shit! Matt is coming down and we shall begin block assembly! Fuck yea! Did I ever post a picture of the new rear color for my car? No? Okay..here:

Not much crappinin' otherwise. My main plan is to get the vert running and hatch completed by the end of May. This will be for the BBQruise I plan on hosting in June! I will post an official date when I discuss it more with my niggaz. We're going to plan out a sick route though.

Fuck..I love driving the 240s. And just hangin' with other people who enjoy as much. Like this guy -

The plan on Saturday is to head down to CT and pick up some PS and 5speed parts..Plus I am picking up a shifter/clutch from Kevin Starling. All for the vert of course.

We're going to do the big swappy stuff at Kevin Phan's. Shit will be off the chain. Kevin, probably Kevin too...and I will be setting aside major time for swap love.

Also...visited Pete the other day. His car is lookin' pretty fly. It's come a hell of a long way, I will tell you that much. It's almost unreal. And he's done it basically over the course of a year. Right now he is just waiting on his modded knuckle set up from PBM. Crazy.

I've got a slightly better picture of the new pink on my car for you dudes who wanna scope:

It's just asking for dick. lol. Can't wait to be heckled on the streets!

And just for Toan:

It's so loud here!

Well...it's been a while since I've updated. I haven't had much time really. I am just taking a few minutes before KPhan and Jon get here to sit down and type.

These last couple weeks have been spent getting cars ready. Some buddies of mine and myself worked pretty hard on preparing my car for BOSSTOWN. Unfortuntely, it didn't pan out the way we had planned / I had hoped. I feel like I let some people down. And I'm sorry. It's the nature of the beast.

However..this next couple of months will be spent with focus on both the hatch and the vert. I am going to start the assembly next weekend. Today I am getting under the car with KPhan and we are going to inspect the brake lines. This needs to happen.

I'm thinking June 19th..BBQ Cruise at my place. All back roads, no stop lights..really not too many stop signs.. flat, smooth, windy...some fast roads. Should be fun. I have to map out a solid route but I was thinking ending up at somewhere either in Lowell or Nashua.

BOSSTOWN this past Sunday was truly more epic than I think any of us expected. Much more cars showed up than I thought would..and it was just awesome. I hope we are able to reproduce these meets throughout the spring and summer. I can't wait!

Well..I would post pics of Bosstown, vid of Bosstown..but most of you who read this have already seen it.

Next entry might be a little more exciting.

Hey do you remember that guy Larry next door?

So..big and important news! Bosstown is Sunday. Weather is promising at the moment! I'm pretty pumped. Pay day is Friday. I have to register the car on that day. I have some painting to do that I was hoping to get done with a particular buddy of mine. And we had biiiig plans for all sorts of outrageous sexiness.. problem is..now he probably can't come by. Boner killing.

In other news.. Marchmas is coming up. I had plans to get Leon something pretty sweet but I realized he might not feel the gift is as sick as I do. That fucking queerbait! Oh well..I guess I will just have to find something else! Hahaha.

Speaking of Leon..this weekend he came up and we went to Funworld in Nashua. That place sucks. But, they do have Stage 3 Initial D..which we pwn the shit out of (and look like assholes doing it). I mean, seriously. We're legitimate adults. Not like 20 year old adults. Like..real adults...cussing and tearing up a hilariously shitty, yet undeniably awesome arcade game.

After finishing up there we went to Kevin Phan's place to do Leon's Exhaust. Long story short, the bolts for the cat flange were SOOO rusted that it took nearly 30 minutes each. One we ended up having to torque stress enough to break it. The other one took some careful and precise wrenching. Moreover, the hangers on the muffler were so riddled with rust deposit and build up that we had to cut the rubber hanger bushings. But..luckily the install took like..5 or 10 minutes. Now Leon is loud and asshole like. Just like the rest of us. Not quite AS loud as me (FUCK) but loud enough to disturb him. hahahaha. And btw..that is not either of us playing the Initial D game.

Did I mention that I was going with Candy to see Weird Al in Concert? WTF!!?? Hahaha.. as if Summer couldn't rule hard enough, Weird Al comes to the area. Priceless. I've never seen him before, but as a Child I adored his songs. Fuck Raffi, fuck that other dude with the guitar. Weird Al. Straight thuggin', Son.

Also, hey..got another dog. His name is Nachito. He is also of the Jack Russell mix variety. You can check a picture of him out on Candy's Blog. He is Jack Russell, Bull Terrier. I have awarded him the "Worst Snoopy Ever" Award.

So yea.. Not a whole lot going on. I should do my brakes for the meet but I probably won't. (Be careful driving around me, guys..lol). Justin is coming up in the Morning. I gotta pick up my sister from School because of her modified schedule but I am still gonna try and hang with him for a few minutes.

Not much else to write.

In summation: Bosstown..go; Brakes are for mother nature; Open up your face and eat it; Dogs eat food and make bathroom; Initialize on Saturday; Exhausts rule; Cheesy teeth Bitches.

Rollin' with the homies:

Less than two weeks until the meet. Still pumped. Still hype. Shit will be Epic

Is this too low?

Kevin Phan swung by today to help with finally rolling the rear fenders. It was raining, but that didn't stop him. Solid.

Well, I have been very short with my posts recently. I promise you guys.. I will make up for it.

Love forever, Patrick.

One man brigade spreading cancer plague

..'nuff said.

Do work, Bosstown.

Today Kevin Starling, Kevin Phan, His boy Sam, and Franky came by to quest for the start up. Battling with the positioning of the alternator too the morning. KPhan helped out with rolling my front fenders.

Will still need to roll the rears. He should be stopping by on Thursday.

You may notice the new title. Shot is courtesy of Kevin Phan.

Today was fun as busy work can be.

Candy and I went out to Michael Timothy's again. The restaurant never fails. I love their Filet! Next time I will probably try something off whatever seasonal menu items they may have.

Well.. now all there is to do is new tires, brakes (I am hoping I can score some free used ones from a buddy..we'll see), seats (what a pain in the ass), roll rear fenders, and register.

Abandon ship?

So.. I'm here at the begining of the month.

I have three weeks to pull my car together, register it, inspect it.

Pretty sure there is almost no shot at that.

Money is tight, bills are due.

I am at a point where I am considering just giving up the dream and sticking with the vert.

I don't want to, but I feel like I am in a corner. Forget about building , forget about drifting.

So much invested, so little to show.

How fucking discouraging.

:(

What do I do?
