Mina pimping new Jordans @Mag Shop, Maha Sarakham

I don’t know why she likes five stars and six stars so much; it must be a phase… She will undoubtedly mature to a stage where she realizes that ten or twelve spokes are where it’s at, I’m sure.

I found the part!

I need this part

This post is a simple plea to the monkey in the sky to help me find a working turn signal assembly for my 1971 Toyota Crown. The molded plastic latch lasted many decades before succumbing to normal wear and tear. … Continue reading

Mystery VIP Car, Khon Kaen

I raced this car home back to Sarakham last week. I guess the driver was worried about spilling his Grey Poupon, because he had me on the straightaways (kind of rare because my wife’s VQ30-powered Cefiro A33 smokes almost everything … Continue reading

Three Generations, Four Riders

I take quite a few photos of random riders; I can’t believe this is the first “generations” photo I’ve posted for seven years! The last one was in Vientiane.

WTF, Takumi!

Why didn’t you tell me there’s a fifth season of Initial D being released? My daily driver is an FR JDM kyusha with a 5-speed RB-20 – you would be so proud!

Stuck like a boss

Online again.

So I’ve been recovering for a month now. Wasn’t hurt too bad in the accident, but it flipped a switch in my head. Didn’t feel like blogging or writing or working at all, really. Of those three things, though, only … Continue reading

Breaking the silence

I’ve been away from blogging just taking it easy after the accident, mostly just playing with the kids and waiting for an estimate for my car. We haven’t decided what to do with it yet, it depends on whether it’s … Continue reading

Toyota reviving Nobunaga (Toyota ReBorn), plus killer killer whales

Linkdump follows: Any modern car ad using a 1960′s S40 Crown is worth watching in my opinion, but the CM being referred to (and uploaded to Youtube just 3 hours ago) is just indecipherable. The making of video isn’t much … Continue reading
