Logan sent me a picture he found on flickr… it was a picture of Nadine and I taken by my long time buddy Kyle. This got me looking through his photos and man… I miss those days!

Back when it was a big deal to have an SR20DET, people wanted me to pop my hood and do burnouts. This time I did it with my silencer in. Bad idea.

This was taken on the day that I met Nadine

Before Ogawara Ken became Kenta the Japanese magazine editor, he used to hang out and signal that the roads were clear for drifting at touge

Ken chan in his original s13. The coolest thing about his car is that it had that v-opt.co.jp sticker on the windshield.

I haven’t seen many muscle cars built like this.  Usually they’re built for the drag strip if it ever sees the track… it’s nice to see an old American car with splitters and diffusers.

Side note – I can’t believe he pushed a boxy car like that up to 208 mph!

for having a wife that’s into cars…

I get into my car to drive to work and I have bald tires and a bunch of time slips in the cup holder.  It’s worth it though!  She clocked the 2nd fastest of the day.

Dai is on the cover of Road & Track! Can’t wait to pick up a copy!

No, not Logan.  His  car.  This dude takes real good care of it.  Check it out!

I randomly found this blog post on everythingdrift.com dated September 27, 2009 right before the recent Irwindale event.  I guess there is somebody else out there that thinks about the first years of Formula D.

This car was really really cool. So simple in certain ways and very innovative in others.
