Please Keep Japan in Your Thoughts and Prayers

Someday I will tell all you amazing people out there how and why this site,  and  I,  went  dead overnight for seemingly no reason. Believe me when I say I think about it and carry a great deal of guilt over it everyday. But right now much more pressing matters have forced me out of seclusion, I am of course talking about the epic earth quakes, tsunamis, and now nuclear reactor catastrophies. I have heard from our good friends at WestHill Motorsports and they are doing well so we can all be thankful for that, as well as Alexi from Nori Yaro and the gang at 7Tune. Remix is good but is still waiting to hear from family and loved ones so we all wish him the best. Let’s all keep our friends and all the people of the culture that created and drives this obession, hobby, and love affair we all share in our thoughts and prayers. It’s still not over and with the current state of the nuclear reactors could potentially get much worse.

Nicely Turned Out EG

Very clean, yet tastefully understated, no jumping on any trend band wagon here, just good old fashioned making the most of your car while keeping it firmly within it’s roots. Love it

Euro Flavor Fit

I think the color helps this Fit pull off the staggered deep Borbet Type A wheels especially well, Fits in general I think are well suited to many different styles like VIP, euro, JDM, etc

The Intimidation Factor

When Life Hands You Lemons

Make a 250hp all wheel drive EG! I’ll let the pix do the talking, incredible fabrication, sleeper status, this hits right at the heart of traditional hot rodding.

Random Thought

If just one BP oil rig is sitting on enough oil to fill the Gulf of Mexico in a week why is gas $3.00 per gallon?

I Hate Politicians

and cops, and pretty much all authority figures. Look around, the country is a shit hole, but today today I’m going to have to give Congress a little credit. Originally brought to the table by SEMA, Senate Resolution 513 hereby recognizes July 9, 2010 as “Collector Car Appreciation Day”. Good news for us cars guys, but still, don’t they have more important things going on right now? Anyway, the resolution recognizes that “the collection and restoration of historic and classic cars is an important part of preserving the technological achievements and cultural heritage of the United States.” and “encourages the Department of Education, the Department of Transportation and other federal agencies to work to support events and commemorations of ‘Collector Car Appreciation Day,’ including exhibitions and educational and cultural activities for young people.”

What may be even more interesting is that while reading about this resolution I learned about The Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus, a coalition of lawmakers who support the specialty-equipment aftermarket and recognize the industry’s positive impact on the economy. 100 Senators and House Representatives, republican and democrat alike, are members. Hmm…why am I still being profiled and pulled over just to get fucked with for having a carbon hood or an exhaust ticket for a 50 state certified system? Anyway, if you’re interested a complete list of it’s members can be found HERE

Just don’t give them too much credit, underneath it all they’re still just a bunch of liars, thieves, and hypocrites, some just happen to dig cars.
