Audio plug repair
Here is the result of my work, fixing my old audio plug that snapped into two while I was trying to bend it back into shape. I bought the new audio plug from Radio Shack for a little less than 5 bucks.
Honda Civic, The 8th Gen
At first, like many restyled cars, it was awkward looking. But after awhile, it just grew on me and I love it! I’m usually like this with all cars ^^; it takes awhile for something to get my affection–if you can call it that. But more importantly is the newly designed chassis and suspension geometry. The RSX was said to be built off of some other non-sporty Honda chassis and its suspension geometry proved to be a nightmare for street tuners when they began lowering their cars. However, I never driven the RSX so I can’t really put in a good review of how it rides with and without suspension modifications. But I have driven the new 8th Civc, and the first thing i noticed was how firm the suspension was. It wasn’t rough or bouncy, but taught, nimble, and comfortable. Compared to what i drive on a daily basis, I have to deal with at least a foot of dive, squat, and roll; the civic gives a much more controlled and sportier feel. I really enjoyed driving it to say the least. Unfortunately, I didn’t really get to push the car because it belonged to a friend, and I’ve done some minor damage to my friends’ cars in the past, lol. But I’m a bit more experienced and careful now. If I ever wanted a good track, autox FF car, the new civic would take the cake.

RMMA Airshow
Went to the Rocky Mtn. Metro Airport Airshow this weekend. It was sick to say the least! Lots of cool aircrafts, highspeedy flybys, and Air stunts.

Propeller Airplanes are the sweetest!

Fine Art
I’m not sure if this was actually the artist’s work or just a tribute artwork but it is still stunning nonetheless. Dedicated to Thomas Pradzynski for this stunning photorealistic paintings of city streets in Paris, Venice, Naples, and the U.S.

Mazda MX-5 Miata
Okay, I know there’s an image that Miata drivers are homosexuals–Thanks MadTV for engraining the image of lisping Homosexual men wearing cut-out crotch jeans and roaming around in their Miata looking for booty call. But anyway, Miata owners don’t give a crap. You know why? Because this car is one of the most renowned sporty roadsters of all time. So much information about tuning and upgrades can be found about these two-seater rascals. These cars are successful racecar driver builders. Learn how to drive this car fast and you’ll soon find yourself piloting a machine built for LeMans, ProAm, World Speed Challenge, and more! WITH the exception for ForumulaOne. These guys start off blazing through mini tracks in Go karts–at the age of 6 that is. So for us older, larger guys, owning and racing Miatas has its obvious advantages and compromises. Anyway, the whole point of this article is about me getting more interesting in Miatas. And plus, I don’t have much experience in auto racing and therefore the Miata looks like the most promising car to become familiar as well as more skillful with auto racing. Although, the only Miata I truly like is the 06+ models (NC).
Drift Dreams
I’ve been into cars pretty much my whole life and love anything automotive related. I didn’t get into drifting until I was about 12-13 yrs old. And this sprouted from watching Initial D, lol. Oh how media can have such an influence on you. Anyway, from here on out I fell in love with drifting as well as the culture it gave birth to. It combines style, individuality, and driving skills! My favorite drift cars can be found in a very comprehensive list. Some aren’t even offered in the United States, which is very depressing to say the least. But my most beloved car(s) would be either the AE86 or KE70. Rockin Old SKool is the SH*t.
