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…

Browsing Posts in Cars
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!
It’s always been tougher in California for us car folk… but just when we started to get used to things, C.A.R.B. decides to change it up on us again.
According to C.A.R.B., you are not allowed to use race fuel in a street legal car. If it’s using race fuel, then it’s a race car – and race cars aren’t allowed to drive on the street. They’ll be enforcing this by monitoring the people who sell the race fuel… sellers are required to get information from you regarding the car you are purchasing the fuel for, such as vehicle owner, vehicle make/model, VIN, race event info, date of the event, etc.
All this money and time you are spending on this, so that you can crack down on the people who make up less than 1% of California’s drivers? What a huge waste of money and state resources! This is just like those random smog checks they put up on the roads… they tow out a big dyno setup and randomly pick cars from the street to get checked. Not only do they increase traffic (and pollution) by taking out a lane for their dyno, they are also catching cars that our 2 year smog requirement will catch anyways! Are you guys idiots? Waste much? The state would make a much better contribution to our environment by getting cops out of souped up Crown Vics and Dodge Chargers and putting them in a environmentally friendly car. It also wouldn’t hurt to teach police offers about acceleration control – I see cops flooring it all the time!
Maybe it’s time to start looking into things like water injection… C.A.R.B., there’s always a way around it.

Greg Smith Equipment sells 4 post lifts for residential use!
The website says to figure out if it works in your garage, add the height of your two cars plus 6 inches and if that fits in your garage, you’re golden! Gotta get my hands on one of these!
They also have a sliding jack to lift your car off of the wheels:
Next time I have $1,800 to burn, I am definitely going to be eying one of these suckers!
Being a homeowner makes me really think about things like this…
