I was looking at pictures of Joon Maeng’s RX8 for the 2010 season and noticed something funny on his rear bumper. Looked like some sort of wall bumper.

They put a spring/damper combo on it, too.  I wonder how that will work?  There’s only one way to find out!  If anything, it will protect those taillights at least!  Haha!

Edit:  I just had an afterthought.  They should just put a tire and some Baja style off-roading suspension on it.  Then Joon can throw that car straight into the wall at 80mph and keep going.

I’ve heard this a million times before, but in case you didn’t know, Toyota is run by a bunch of Toyodas.  How can I get on those dude’s wills?  I’d be cool with being on the payroll too…

I looked at my blog today and realized I don’t have any pictures of my car on here. I really should redesign the look and feel of this site. Until then, here are some old car pics.

From one of my early day touge drifting sessions. I was so into getting my front tire into that rain gutter. My favorite part of this picture was the flowers in front of my bumper.  Read one of my old posts about drifting at touge.

This is from Drift Day 9… LAS VEGAS! I drove my car there in the hellish heat with no a/c. We all remember that drive as one of the worst drives we ever made in our cars.  Read my blog post about the vegas drift event.

Drift Day 11 at Irwindale. This was my favorite look for my car... standard front silvia bumper with oem side skirts, oem rear unders and wangan spoiler. I liked my stickers like that as well.

Another shot from Drift Day 11. My lovely concave face TE37s in the front :)

Shot my speedo at Streets of Willow. Drifting at 55mph was a big deal for me back then! Fuel gauge not working. Ghetto!

I’ve been so busy lately!  Well, now at least I’ve pretty much finished helping Koyo move their websites to a new host I have a little more room to breathe.

Last week Nadine decided that she wanted to paint the walls our guest bathroom on her day off.  That project turned into 2 days… which has turned into buying a ton of supplies, a new granite counter top, new faucet, decorations, and it is still not done.

It really is hard to find enough time in the day.  Last night, I got home from work and went straight to cooking dinner.  We ate and then I drove to Home Depot for some plumbing supplies.  I got home, started to work on the plumbing for our new sink and found out I bought the wrong stuff.  I drove back to Home Depot and go the right stuff and went back home to finish the plumbing.  After that was fixed, I started to paint our cabinets.  Then I cleaned up my hands real quick and started dinner for the next night.  While the food was cooking, I took a shower and went to the computer to finish working on the hosting transfer for Koyo.  I finished cooking and THEN I actually had some time to relax and watch TV before going to sleep… 1 hour!

How do I get up at 7am and then do stuff non stop until 11pm???  I can’t wait till all the work is done and I can go back to my 7am-9:30pm routine!

Even though I am complaining, it’s really not that bad.  I think the idea of doing our first big project on the house is pretty cool.  I’m excited to see how the bathroom is going to turn out.  It’s a lot like the feeling of excitement of getting a new part and putting it in your car, except it’s a lot more about expressing personal taste.  Oh yeah, and it actually pays off to invest money into a house! Haha!
