cars and the adventures on which they take us

This is related to cars, I promise. Bear with me.

A Proustian moment:

My senior year of high school, my friends and I didn’t go to prom. Instead, we spent the night in the shop of a shop owner we knew and:

  • chopped up an E60 BMW M5 with an axe (it was totaled, don’t freak out)
  • dropped a Mazda Protege5 we were turning into a racekor on a friend
  • saved him from said Mazda
  • put sport shocks/springs and a straight exhaust on an E30

This was on the radio, like, every fourth song, so every time I hear it, I think back to that night. There are very few things better than cars and good friends.

So, as (almost none of) you know, I’m going to be a father in a few short months. And as soon as my child can stand, he/she is getting this to be awesome in. Scuderia corsa ftw.

It’s my birthday. This is Domino. She’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Domino is 1 year old today, and still as much fun to drive and a pleasure to look at as the day I brought her home. Happy anniversary!

Not Lance-see-ya. The arrogance and ignorance on the internet still amazes me. I don’t know why.
