Here is a graph from the fuel log I have. Some interesting trends. I wonder how it would align to US gas prices. 

I’ve been living in China my whole adult life, and it is hard at times to be a gear head here. Still, I manage to drive an American car and participate in some track days and car shows when they happen. There is a very big difference in car enthusiast culture as well, even though the cars may be the same.

I have adjustable coilovers on both of my cars and I take full responsibility for the height of my car when I go places. For instance, when I moved into a new neighborhood I raised my suspension up a bit so that I won’t scrape the speed bumps. I don’t see what this guys problem is. If you pay that much, I would expect…

My family never owned a VCR rewinder, we just used the machine’s rewind function. I often see these rewinders in “antique” or thrift stores. Most of the antique stores I visit are in basements of the old stores on a run down main street in rural Michigan. They never have enough light and they all smell the same. When…

An update! I got my bend rim fixed for around 80$ here in Beijing. The other side was unbalanced because of the tire which I replaced today. My car is smooth once again, in fact I don’t remember when it was ever this good... 

My Camaro just passed 37000 miles and I discovered I had 2 bents rims a few days ago. The genius at the last place I got my tires fitted put the bent front wheels on the back so I didn’t notice it was bent and unbalanced (my car runs stock staggered wheels).  When I put them back to where they should be the car was…

That thing looks insane! With most of my hobbies- sailing, cars and skateboarding I don’t have many friends who join me or have the same interests as I, so I don’t hear much about stuff outside my limited circle of knowledge. I’m always happy to discover more things.  

I should have noticed. That laser was the second boat I ever soloed on when I was young. I love my Hobie Cat, it was my dream boat (no pun intended) when was in middle school. It’s a really good solid and easy to maintain lake boat. I’ve sailed on the ocean in some Hobie cats and never enjoyed it as much as I do on my…

Yeah..... that floaty thing also belonged to the neighborhood... anyone could ride it when ever they wanted... however, it was ridden too hard by too many people and couldn’t stand up anymore after one summer. I think it had a good life.

I’m am I love with this photo. I have a 1979 Hobie Cat with the exact same sails as the boat on the right. It’s the first time I’ve seen that color anywhere other than on my boat.

I don’t understand the hiding of the engine. It seems like it would trap in heat and looks out of place. On my car the first thing I did was to remove the engine cover. The hood is already covering it, why cover it twice? Also I have an aftermarket hood that has fairly large louvers so you can see the engine with the…

There is a lot to enjoy, and with the depth of storytelling and character development, I’m sure that you will enjoy the movie at a deeper level and your friends will enjoy it too, but you may want to explain a lot of the back story. I’ve been working with my friends for years and everyday they are telling me details…

I’d be happy to share. I saw captain America when it first came out and a few weeks ago by girlfriend introduced Avengers to me so I would have the general idea as to what was happening and who the characters are. Having a bunch of nerdy friends I am pretty familiar with most characters and their back stories so I…

Hopefully this will help dive up sales of the new Supra/Z! I am happy Michigan doesn’t require front plates as I have an older Z4 and really think the clean lines and smooth front end would look bad with a license plate attached.

That is a great write up and has made me quite excited to see this film, which interestingly enough is already out in theaters in my part of the world. It is Wednesday for me now, I have already bought tickets for me and my girlfriend to see this tonight after work. However, as “lucky” as I may be to get to see this…

Nice! It was a hard decision to make...

Sorry, I didn’t proof read! I meant to say the Ferrari 430 Scuderia (I wrongly though F1 was is in its full name somewhere). I drove it on the Las Vegas International Speedway at exotics racing. 

I’ve got your back! After the F40 this is my favorite Ferrari. Also the F1 is the only Ferrari I have driven yet so I’ve got a soft spot for it. But yeah, it’s so much better looking than the 458 in so many ways. 

I’m not saying you are wrong, because I often feel the same way at car shows, but what if the owners of the cars just want a flat black 32 Ford? If I had the resources to get a 32, it would be flat back, red wire wheels and probably some faded racing number on the side because that is the aesthetic that I like. Don’t…

Be yourself, don’t listen to the haters. They are probably just jealous because they can’t grow telephone cord like curls from their head. Or perhaps all the comments were one guy from your highschool with a ton of burner accounts getting back at you for something you said about his hair all those years ago.…
