Thai rice and the future of illegal street racing
Note the front and rear damage. Rice is rarely as fitting as this. I believe this is known as a self-fulfilling prophecy; the only thing that would have made it better is if it was being towed.

Baby Infrastructure
Behold what needs to be crammed into our A33 on the way back from a 2 day trip (admittedly, the front seat floorspace is crammed with rice from Nam’s relatives’ fields in Surin).

Coolest Scooter Ever
Don’t tell my Chappy, but this fold-up Centaur from 1964 is just awesome.

In the past month I’ve had to replace the water pump and some skinny rubber hoses in my Crown as well as the radiator in the Cefiro. I had been refilling the water in the Crown every morning as it seemed to be losing 500cc or so per day. I could see where it was leaking from and figured it needed a new pump soon. The thing is, since I only drive it to work every day, I could afford to wait. Reversely, I couldn’t afford repairs right away so I just prayed for the old gal to soldier on until I could raise the scratch, and that she did.…

$800 Pimpmobile for G-man
Cuz it’s all about O-REGON, yo: “1989 Cadillac Sedan Deville Pimp mobile for sale. Perfect for the up and coming pimp who isn’t quite ready to step up into an Ex-calade. This fine example of Motor vehicle pimpery comes stock with no hubcaps, because as you know any real baller is just gonna drop dubs on it anyway. The stereo isn’t working, but then again, a real mac like you is going to drop some change to make this bitch rumble. The trunk is extra large in case you have a ho who steps out of line, you can put her in there. A good feature because if you spend…

In Daddy’s Crown
Wouldn’t it be cool if Max learned to drive in my daily driver? Manual steering, manual gearbox, manual windows, hell it even has optional (as in factory option) non-retractable seatbelts!

No more hi-octane ethanol-free gas in Mahasarakham
This photo was taken back in March. This was the last gas station in Maha Sarakham to sell 95 octane gasoline with no ethanol added. It greatly surprised me to find them selling it because all of the other stations had gradually phased it out by the end of the previous year – PTT and Petronas were the first to go, then Esso, then finally, what I thought was the last holdout, Caltex. But I stopped at this station (I even forget what company it was!) on the way back from the road to Borabu, a neighboring town, and got a full tank of the good stuff – unadulterated 95…

Pimp Ghost Riding (Sky on Fire)
The other day we went to nanny’s village to see the flooded rice fields. The Chi River has overflowed into the fields, and huge invading catfish are happy to feast on drowned field mice and other flood detritus. Unwilling to take Mr. Max out on a flimsy boat, we watched the villagers go spearfishing for dinner. It sure is a good thing we took the trusty old Crown out on the muddy roads instead of our pretty car.
