Sold my 86 Rx7 last week and I'm still looking for my dream project which is why I haven't been posting. MY quest for my project will be taking me to St. Louis Sunday where I will fly in to check the car and possibly buy it then I will be flying back and having it shipped to me. Looking at a Velocity Red 1993 RX7 btw. very sexy.

Talk to me, Talk to me, Talk to me

Loving this new song added to the Plastic Beach Album. Damon Albarn and Daley wrote a great song. Only thing about it I dont like is just how off it is that Daley is a guy and sings in a feminine tone better than most female pop stars. O random thing. I want a Melodica, but that has nothing to do with this.

Hmm....

This Blog for the moment will be designated to my new project/car, and the occasional stuff I feel like sharing. The next post will probably be later this month when i get my new whip. Til then Ciao

Desperatly need a change for the better.

Still not being accepted for jobs. I wonder if there is anything on my background check I don't know about. If there is it is probably false. Now the college I want to go to wants to mess with me. Oh well. Things will get better soon I am sure.

My status.

2010-07-30T20:16:00.000-04:00

Sorry If anyone has been wanting updates recently which i doubt as I only have 1 follower still but oh well. Been a bit out of it lately and a bit discontent, but discontention is expected from the poor :p. After moping around I finally found inspiration from one source that always seems to inspire me and it is a pretty weird one so I won't list it. So I've put in 2 applications and I have a good feeling about one of them and I've finally started enjoying what I have. So hopefully I should be updating a bit more often now

For them, By us.

American domestic car companies that release great cars to other countries besides America is what this blog is about. Just posting this because it ticks me off. Like the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, a turbocharged over 200hp car that went on to win numerous motorsports championships, or the Ford Fiesta which just now after 30 years is back in the American market. When you look at it Ford really is probably the biggest culprit of this. The majority of chevy cars are realeased here and then redone by GM's european and australian companies or vice versa. Though I guess since GM's Europeans companies release exclusives that GM is doing what Ford is just doing it the right way lol.

Mazda's 90th Anniversary.

2010-06-15T15:28:00.000-04:00

Now as you may know from an earlier post I own a Mazda Rx-7 and I i really love the company and their revolutions in the development of a rotary engine. Check out everything from the Mazda car family tree, picture gallery, etc. All at this site http://www.mazda.com/90th/

A new Shelby in town.

2010-05-31T14:14:00.001-04:00

Now I am sure if any of you are car enthusiasts (especially for muscle cars) you have heard the name Carroll Shelby. Well, this post isn't about him, it is about Jerod Shelby (no relation) and his company Shelby Supercars and their new car the Ultimate Aero TT. Though I'm sure if you keep up with supercars you have already heard of it. This is the car that brings the fastest production car title back to America stealing it from French company Bugatti. You may be thinking that a car that could do that must cost just as much or more, but it only costs about $655,000 which may be alot but considering the Veyron is $2,050,000. so for about 1.4 million cheaper you get a car that goes about 5mph faster, has 100 more horsepower and torque, and a manual gearbox. However looks, I guess, can be a difference for you. If you never liked the styling of a Lamborghini Diablo or things like it, you may not like the Ultimate Aero.

Knowledge is Power. Unfortunately you will get none of that here.

Now we all love the simplicity of our favorite online encyclopedia of almost anything you can think of Wikipedia, but sometimes you might not want the facts or have people tell it like it really is or just make up something funny and not true and possibly offensive to everyone. For that you need uncyclopedia.wikia.com . A very interesting website i stumbled along today. Give it a look and you might like it. I especially liked the article on ricers though i didn't appreciate their ricer rating on RX-7's as I own one. ZOOM ZOOM

3 Reasons you should consider an AWD

2010-05-04T20:24:00.001-04:00

Great Handling
Better at Launch
No Torque Steer

Those aren't the 3 reasons. They are some of the reasons you normally hear about,, and 3 of the many reasons why AWD cars tend to be pretty good choices for performance.

The 3 reasons I am referring to are these:

Nissan GT-R- Bad@$$ Supercar with unbelievable cornering and a top speed over 190mph

http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wald_nissan_gt_r_r35_sports_line_images_1.jpg

Subaru Impreza STI Cosworth CS400- all the awesome things about the original sti multiplied by like 10! 0-60 in 3.7 secs for example. The pic above is Ken Block's Sti rally car. Not a CS400

Lancer Evolution- 300hp turbocharged AWD rally car with an excellent look. Car loooks and runs like a beast.

The game is getting stupid.

2010-04-29T21:04:00.001-04:00

You know what? I'm tired of flipping over to a rap station and having to listen to the remix of a remix with the artist claiming its their's and I also hate when I finally get the version i like be it the original (as it is most of the time) of one of remixes. The MC's then have to add their own bit to it to make it "their's" which usually includes adding annoying sound effects that ruin the song. anyway thats my peace.

Why won't they retire?

2010-04-28T20:46:00.002-04:00

It seems that some video game companies just won't let there former celebs retire and end on a good note. I mean does Pac-man need around 15 or so games? Frogger over 16? Mario in a game or 2 at least every year? the answer NO. These companies just seem to milk their once great stars. Nintendo's Mario having the most success. The one I find the worst of all of them is the continual production of mediocre at best Sonic the Hedgehog games. Lets face it Sonic hasnt really seen a good game since the dreamcast. Sega just seems happy pushing their crap down our throats and expecting us to buy it because it has our fave childhood star in it. Well I am tired of it and will not be buying into another sonic game until they shape up. I suggest the other companies do that as well. Really the newer versions of Frogger and Pac-man are crap unless they are just updated versions of the originals or things Ms.Pac-man or Pac-man jr which were just pac man in drag or dressed as a kid with a beanie. As for mario your games are at least playable and have fun gameplay most of the time. On another note, still loving sonic cartoons lol

smart car, smart for all?

2010-04-27T10:56:00.001-04:00

Now people who know me will tell you that I am no real fan of the Prius, Insight, or the smart car. The reasoning behind this is that i prefer horsepower, speed, and of course looks over MPG. I however am not close minded and have thought that if you took the engines out of the Prius and smart that they could make good shells for tuners. The Prius look like a new crx and the smart is ridiculously small. Well it seems a few people shared my ideas of what to do with a smart and put in motorcycle engines. From what I've seen the suzuki gsx-1300 is a pretty good choice. Here is a vid of what you can do with a modified smart car.
