A little birthday drive in the 986 which hasn’t been driven in around 3 months. Shoutout to for keeping it alive in the meantime. This car drives so good. A proper Porsche experience for $18k is an insane bargain. Go buy one.

Mule project is done! My dad .cave.39 came and got it today. He’s had this Mule for years that he bought with a blown motor so I stole it in the night a few weeks ago and restored and modified it as a surprise. He noticed it was missing after a couple days, but still a surprise. It now has a rebuilt engine, lift kit, new, much bigger tires, new lights, new seat, bigger fuel tank, winch (not installed yet because I needed my dads shop to do that and I can’t do electricity), a bunch of other stuff and a nice detail along with a new chainsaw and chainsaw mount. Pap is pleased.
Enjoy it, Pap!

I could sure go for a cool weather drive in an Elise right now.

I a firm believer in NOT “respecting all builds”. Some cars just aren’t cool, and that’s ok! This is a very controversial topic in the car world and I don’t see why. If life hands you a boring car, 9 time out of 10, just leave it alone and buy a cool car later. Let’s say you turn 16 and life hands you a 2009 Altima. First off, my apologies. Second off, just maintain it and drive it. Save your dollars for your next car. You can spend thousands on garbage mods on that Altima that will ALL make it worse in every way and especially in resale value. Those dollars would go much further towards buying your next car. The ONLY way to make something like an Altima cool is to spend very real money and do something insane like LS swap it. Anything short of that is just money in the trash. LS swap is also money in the trash, but at least you’d have an interesting build. Fix and maintain it yourself and save the dollars until you can buy a car that’s actually worth modifying. Or, better yet, buy a car that doesn’t even need modifications! Plenty of affordable sports cars out there just need nice tires and brake pads and they’re good to go.
Do you respect all builds?

Red clay is red.

Did my first proper paint correction today. Wasn’t sure if I’d be able to save this hood, but I went for it and 2 hours of hood-polishing later: it worked! Super happy with it and definitely gave me some more confidence to do more paint work.

A mural I can actually get behind.

Went to detail a GX460 yesterday and pulled into an imported Land Cruiser paradise. This guy gets me. Troopies and an FJ55 (pig) and 200 series and a 911 AND an E90 BMW 335 in the same color as the one I had (but his is the 335d which is rad). I think he might be my soul mate.

So one time-I think the summer after high school (shoutout Katy Perry)- my friend and I decided to take the doors off the Hummer and be REAL Jeep bros. The bolts came off kinda ok, but the mirrors and door locks are electric and there wasn’t a plug so you have to cut the wires to remove the door. My dumb self decided to cut the wires thinking it would be easy to just solder them back together afterwards but it turns out the wire I cut was actually a bunch of tiny wires and I cut it in a dumb spot. But we got the doors off and lived our Jeep bro dreams for a day and then I ghetto rigged it back together (2nd pic). Needless to say, it doesn’t have electric mirrors anymore. Luckily those mirrors were all screwed up anyways and my dad actually just swapped them out for manual mirrors 10 years later.
