To be fair it’s been a long while since we had a big earthquake here. But yes, you pretty much are spot on with the seasons. However you forgot to mention the year-round season we have- police pursuits.

And possible electric too. I-Miev 3000GT CrossSport

Let’s just pretend there is no new Supra coming. Instead, let’s all start hoping for a new Mitsubishi 3000GT. I bet if we wish hard enough, that’ll debut sooner than the new Supra!

Years back my wife drove a Ford Focus. After 90,000 miles I changed the shocks and struts at all four corners, as the oem ones were starting to show their age. It was like a new car after that relatively easy install.

Makes me love that Flying Brick even more.

The venue required it.

Honestly, the 348 is one of my all time favorites. I spent a lot of time checking out this car on Saturday.

I felt like I was in the most awesome parking lot in the late 90’s. The show was absolutely amazing.

I wonder if there is going to be an award for the most Janky Ass Project. You and I might be competition for each other.

It probably has low-ish miles on it.

I drove a 3.6 Outback and was happy with the power, but not the price. I’ve also been told that the 6 cylinder Subaru motors are more problematic. I chose the Outback over the Forester as my wife and I have a CR-V already. Also I like correcting people that call my Outback a SUV. It’s a lifted wagon okay!

Now if my Outback had that engine, it would be the best daily driver ever.

I sure that there will be a procrastinator at the show pissed off to see my Daihatsu Charade on display while their IROC Camaro sits at home!

So, hypathical here, lets say that the Honda-powered Torro Rosso is a winning car next year. Hartley wins in Monaco. Alonso takes an easy victory with Toyota at the 2018 LM24. Then he and Alonso are BOTH is competion for the triple crown in an epic Indy 500 throw-down in a few years....

My 91 Daihatsu Charade is still going strong with all 220,000 of its miles on it. Anaheim is about 30 minutes to the south of me... as long as I can park it between two really expensive 80’s or 90’s icons, I’ll be happy. It’s white with a gold hood, can’t miss it.

My Charade is weeping tears of joy! Thank you Yokohama!!

Well, I guess that dashes my hopes for Alonso coming to Indy Car where he most certainly could have fought for a championship, and also drive a really sweet looking race car that doesn’t have a required halo.

Excuse me while o go outside to hug my Charade.

I have my motorcycle endorsement. I got it because in the state of California, you need to go ride anything. I once owned a 1974 Vespa 90. That thing would go a hair over 40mph, but in the name of safety I took the MSF course.

As the father of soon to be two daughters, this video gives me all the feels. My oldest daughter shows interest in cars, and loves going fast. I want to nurture that passion as much as I can and as much as she wants. Who knows, maybe she is gonna be the first woman with a full time F1 drive?
