Today I felt like someone stole my puppy. I felt like I did when I left home for the first time, and you can’t help to look back and say wow, this is a little scary. I said goodbye to my Integra. This DB started as my daily driver about 2 years ago.  I love the car almost as much as my CTR! I looked for months for the ideal DB! I went all over CA and online for a very long time until I stumbled upon this unicorn on none other the NWP4LIFE forum. I found this unicorn in West Virginia of all places! My baby made a 3 day trek on a transport to So Cal when I got her. It was here in record time and in great condition! Never did I think I would ever sell it! But, I did! When I am not busy in randomness, I have a “real” job that basically requires me to act like a grown up, dress well, and smooze with large corporate companies and their CEOs, CFOs, etc…. So, pretty much the DB is out! No CEOs would want to sit in my mint ITR rear seat! So, long long story short I am now officially a BMW owner. I now fit in with 80% of my parking lot at work! It is pretty funny these days!

Goodbye to my love! Bye Bye DB…Hello BMW….arughh….

It was that time again to visit Corona for the Eibach evening event.. This one is always fun because its not just limited to Hondas like the normal annual meet is.. I arrived a bit late to the meet, so I had to make the awkward drive through a bunch of standing people.. I survived, or so I thought.. I quickly popped the hood and tried not to stand even close to the car as it was a sausage fest around my car! I love the support, and fans of my build dont get me wrong but it was kind of crazy. It was the first time I was uncomfortable in my own shoes.. After a few hours of questions, friends, and some stalkers I was ready to go! I made a quick exit out at about 7:45 and called it a night. Sorry!

Thanks to the NWP boys for saving me a great spot! Ryan, Matt, Jerm, and the rest of the bunch.. Thanks!

Thank you to all the followers of my blog and my build this year, I really appreciate it! This past year has been one to remember! 

 I managed to gather a few pictures I liked from friends and fellow bloggers. Thanks again guys!

Stole these 2 shots from some ricer named The Tea Father.. Thanks!!

Check out this blog, the pictures are great! timscribbles.com

 That’s about it for now boys and girls.. Up next is some track testing hopefully very soon!

Yup, it’s the time yet again for one of my favorite meets of the year here in So Cal.. Summer Nights at Eibach are always fun!Its less heat being in the evening, and is a bit more enjoyable then the usual daytime meet there.  Not only do you have the usual Honda crowd here, but you have the others there too.. All makes and models.. Be sure to come and check it out, bring your car, invite your friends, family, and stalkers! Be sure to share the fancy flyer made by the infamous Joey Lee (stickydiljoe.com), and whore it out!!

See you guys there!

Last weekend was the first Mega Matsuri event in downtown LA, same spot as Nisei as you all know. The event was a great idea, and seemed to be going well. The crowd was a bit small and there was still some more room for more cars, but hey it was the first year! I think this will grow into a great show as it continues. It was great to see all the homies, and meet some new ones! Ryan from Rywire was down with his booth him and Big Mike managed to get together quickly, CTR was on display with the booth for the day.

Be sure to go check out The Chronicles coverage, stole a pic!! Thanks to Joey and his always awesome blog!! www.stickydiljoe.com

Yep, that’s right! No coverage! Why? Because I managed to miss the event!! I went up to Nor Cal to take care of some important business during the week, and drive all the way home just in time for the show. Or, so I thought. After driving back home to So Cal Friday evening, driving 12 hours with construction, I was finally home by 4am! I figured, what the hell I will take a nap before driving the car 2 hours up to LA.. Well, my little nap turned into a full on passed out sleep! I woke up at 10am to my phone blowing up like crazy! Not only did I miss the show, my friends all thought I crashed or something driving up since I didn’t make it for my 9am roll-in. Sorry friends and stalkers! I blew it!

Don’t be disappointed as the fun isn’t over. Saturday is Mega Matsuri at the same location. I promise not to sleep through this one! I look forward to this event and seeing all the friends, family, and stalkers! Be there!

It’s that time of year again for one of the hottest car shows of the year. When I say hot I mean the temperature! Every year I have gone out to this, my first memory of the show is how hot it is out there! I am not necessarily looking forward to all of it. I decided to keep it real and drive the CTR all the way there. No trailerdrama. LA freeways have always been interesting for me between the people hanging out of their cars with cameras to the shitty ass potholes they have going on up there on the roads, it’s quite interesting… I have a long week ahead of me. I have some travel to do this week, so I will be driving a 1000+ miles in 3 days to handle some business and be back just hours before the show Saturday. This show marks one of the last shows for me for the year as I built my pride and joy for the track, not for the car shows. I have always loved Nisei, so I decided I wanted to enter the car.. After that, there’s plenty of testing left for the car to see what is next!! Be sure to come check out the car and say hi all you friends, stalkers, and strangers!!

As most of you can see it’s been a while since the last update on here. Once again, I am fired from writing blogs! I never once said I was a writer. There comes a time in everyones life when you sit there and you question what you’re doing. No matter how confidant you are in the world, you still can’t sit there and say you never question things. I myself am a very confidant person and most that know me remember me for my confidence. I have never been one to second guess anything. I have always said you can’t live your life being guarded wishing you had done something when you only live once. But, over the last month I found myself doing something I never do. I questioned what the hell I was doing. In that moment I was so frustrated I was ready to say fuck it! I was all amped up ready to post my beloved CTR up for sale and move on.  I thought about everything, weighed all the odds in my life. Is it worth all the bullshit? Is it worth all the time and effort? A good friend told me to just leave it alone. lock the garage, ignore the car and pretend it isn’t there, and see how I feel. So, I did. With in a few days I was lost. I felt like this huge piece of me was ripped from my body. I was useless! So, last weekend I opened up the garage, grabbed my gas can and headed for the gas station. I grabbed me some 111, filled the car up and went for a ride. A long ride at that. I took a drive up to the track in Fontana, Calispeedway or whatever the hell they call that track these days for the Super Street FF battle. During the long bumpy ride up there I made peace with my beloved CTR.  Never would I question her and everything that comes with it again. These few hours took me away from reality and made me really get a grip on things.

I spent about 2 hours up there at the track watching the dyno sessions for the FF battle, and saw some of the homies I haven’t seen in a while. It was great to get away from the real world for a bit.

I was cameraless that day, but lucklyfor my friend Mike G, he was nice enough to share his pics he took that day.

Don’t worry not that kind of new home!! Jade has been laying low here for a while as we move to our new larger home. Cancelled track events have led to good things dont worry! August is packed full of events for the CTR!! Lucky for Jade her new home provides her with her own private finished garage away from the other garage and the daily drivers! The car is right at home! Stay tuned for much more in the weeks to c0me when Jade comes out of the garage yet again!

Warning!! iPhone pic ahead!

I love to see how our builds here in the US are perceived overseas. It is so cool to see how something I love is appreciated overseas! Even in Malaysia! I can’t say I know anything about it over there, but I have learned they love Hondas over there! I have had an overwhelming response from overseas in many countries, but seen the most in Malaysia! Also, they have some great automotive bloggers over there! Firdaus was nice enough to ask me if he could write a piece about the build.  It’s even better to see a VW enthusiest fall in love with a K series beast!   Thanks again for your enjoyment of my build and for following the blog!
