just drift @ balcony

probably one of the most fun drift days i had in a long time. finally figured out the rx7 and was able to do some tandem runs, nothing great…..yet. i guess this means i need to spend more money and keep drifting. here are some pics courtey of Annie (www.thepinkbrush.com).

and then a pic of Charlie from Just Drift driving my car, but its a good picture.

The new STi

On my way home from work yesterday I saw the new Subaru Sti sitting on a trailer. It was the only one on the trailer. Excuse the crapatular image quality. My camera phone is not the greatest. I kind of like it I must say. I have owned a 2002 wrx before and vowed to never own another Subaru but seeing it in person was a little different. I like the body flares. I also like the new evo x though. decisions decisions….

car update

A quick update on the project car since it’s too cold to actually work on it…

This is just part of what I’ve been working on lately but the weather isn’t cooperating as you saw a few posts down. And today it decided to snow again. What wonderful weather and its almost march already!

and yes i’ve put a heater in the garage but when the temperature is below freezing the ground,
laying on the ground is like laying on a sheet of ice.

Corona mm mmm good

Now this post may contain some images that are NWS (not work safe). So turn your monitors away from public’s eye.  

Beer. What great stuff. The life and soul of college students.

I have always considered Corona to be a pretty good selling beer in the good ol US of A. I personally have never really put it in my list of favorite beers and I’ve tasted beers from all over, from budweiser to sapporo, darks to lights, stouts to ales. Anyways, I’ve noticed that college students here seem to love Corona and 4 out of 5 times its their choice when they want to step up from their cheapo-get-wasted-drunk beers. Sorry if i’m beginning to ramble on here.

Now having said that, I’m not sure how well Corona sells in Japan but after this clever ad with very suggestive photos and the tagline “Grind it in deeper” I would think it has boosted some sales. America needs some Corona ads like this instead of these “beach themed” ones.

Anyways, time for me to get back to work but I’ll leave you alone with these images…

Frozen in time

a-007.jpgJust as I thought winter was easing up we got blasted with this last night. Made my driveway into an ice rink. It also made for very fun commutes to and from work. Oh the joys of living in Maryland. We get wack weather like this all the time and you would think they would be prepared and drivers would be more competent…

Here you can see where the Zamboni left a nice shiny sheet of ice where I busted my ass this morning. I really hope that this was the last bit of winter…I can’t wait till the sun comes out again. till then…bundle up!
