Good Vibes Breakfast 6.11.21
Wednesday, June 23, 2021
Good Vibes Breakfast Meet at Newcomb Ranch has been on my bucket list for a while now. I am so glad I was able to cross it off my car meet bucketlist. As is true with the name, it was indeed all about good vibes, people and great cars. If I get the AC fixed […]
S13 AC Out
Wednesday, June 23, 2021
Oh my god. The AC stopped working on Michelle, my s13 hatch. I am so sad, just had the parts installed and AC charged back in March/April 2021. Apparently, the S14 high pressure AC line busted. It’s been replaced now, thanks Gabe. Now it’s in the shop to get a thorough test of why its […]
Kouki 180sx side marks
Wednesday, June 23, 2021
Whaaaaa. Did I find kouki 180sx side markers in my garage? I can’t believe how many parts we’ve hoarded over the years. With inflation, we actually made money if we decided to sell. The issue is the struggle to keep or sell the parts..
Fuse and Relay craze
Wednesday, June 9, 2021
After my ignition fuse/relay went bye bye on me at AVS I decided to start buying and replacing them all. I will be keeping the old ones as spares. I can’t believe that a small little thing can allow the car from running or not running. Live and learn right? I am still waiting for […]
Just drive
Wednesday, June 9, 2021
You can catch driving my hatch on the weekends to unplug from adulting responsibilities. I can’t wait until I get a 997 so I can switch between the two. Not sure why I am RBF.
Sweet Boy Products Traction Journal
Wednesday, June 2, 2021
My old drifting friend Colin started a company named, Sweet Boy Products. Sweet Boy Products makes cool journals to document drift or racing experiences or notes. Pretty rad!! I saw the journal and had to buy to support his product. 😁

Daisy the car model
Wednesday, June 2, 2021
Daisy does look like a car model. She’s up for hire only on paid gigs (treats and steak included). 😂
Sad TE37 rim
Wednesday, June 2, 2021
Opened my garage and saw a flat tire on my TE37 wheels. I almost cried when I saw this… $750 wheel + the tire and mounting $50 = $800. It cost $15 to patch the tire, there was a hole from rock chips or something. Volk Racing TE37 wheels are not cheap. I am basically […]
Chinese Japanese s13
Wednesday, June 2, 2021
I keep joking that my s13 is Chinese with the one pop up headlight situation going on. She’s Chinese Japanese now. Finally buying parts and doing maintenance on my S13, I named Michelle. I have a thing for female names for my cars. I’ll have to come up with something clever for my future white […]
83k miles on Helena
Wednesday, June 2, 2021
I named my 2014 BMW Activehybrid “Helena” since she’s European. Helena now has 83k miles, she’s becoming an old lady. I love Helena though, hesistant to sell her. After 100k miles she’s out of warranty so I really need to decide what to do. 😫
Girl, get behind the wheel
Wednesday, June 2, 2021
Recently, I’ve come to realize I love getting behind the wheel and driving. Albeit car meets, drifting events, errands or what have you, I am in. I am so serious with my RBF behind the wheel though. I can’t phantom being a passenger anymore unless it’s in an Uber/Lyft/being chauffeured around in unknown territory.
Live Drift
Wednesday, June 2, 2021
I love the old school and chilvarily in the drift community, where everyone helps each other out because of our shared passion for going sideways. Case in point at my first drift event in over 3 years, I met Randy, he was so helpful in teaching me about my car, giving me ride alongs and […]
Virgin at Apple Valley Speedway
Wednesday, June 2, 2021
Apple Valley Speedway has been on my bucketlist for awhile now. I decided to say f it and just go. I am so rusty, need to managee more, feather the gas, go faster and stop being a 😸. With more seat time I will improve my drifting skills. I can’t wait to get back in […]
50th Anniversary GTR
Sunday, May 30, 2021
Once in a while, I run into rare cars. It seems like I see rare cars all the time, huh? Ive been looking for an affordable place to get my tires mounted. My friend Mark recommended 714 tires. I stopped by on my way back from the Brekkie meet, they were super busy. This 50th […]
Harbor Tire & Repair
Sunday, May 30, 2021
After being in quarantine for over a year, I got so used to staying at home and being a homeboy. With that being said, it’s so hard to go anywhere far without my mom and Daisy. It’s nice to find a nearby tire shop, restaurants, markets and etc. I needed to get some tires mounted […]
