lose 15 pounds (read all 6 entries…)

1 year later 2 years ago

Well I’ve been working at a tool store for a year now and have lost 40 pounds. I’ve also added a ton of muscle so I probably lost more weight than that. So good luck to everyone. I still have some fat on me but it’s the kind that serious working out takes care of.

get my car fixed

Bye bye. 2 years ago

My Chevy Caprice was stolen almost a year ago. Good bye you fish-tailing, Corvette-engine powered beast. I hope whoever stole you is enjoying the gas prices.

Start my own business

The Speed Shop 2 years ago

The Holy Grail of boys’ dreams. A giant garage to call your own. With all the doodads and gizmos and gadgets for the greatest example of pure design in the world. The automobile.

I’ve recently noticed myself drifting from my love affair with the Toyota Supra Mk. IV. There is something truly mesmerizing about vintage cars, the skill, craftsmanship, and sheer beauty is something you can’t ignore. And muscle cars. I think my problem with muscle cars is the fact that Detroit kept selling my “muscle” cars long after they had become limp, flacid, cars bearing the names of Icons and Legends.

So no more substitutes. Only the beautiful, powerful, and mystifying. Only the surgical precision of Japanese sports cars, the art of European exotics, and the classics. Stupid, Brute American horsepower. Because so times the line between A and B IS straight.
