Cars and Shit

 Yeah, remember the last post about the R33 being the car? Yeah, I lied. Jose traded me his NSX plus cash for the GT3 and I have not once looked back. Yes, the GT3 is amazing, yes I know it's better than the NSX. So? This means one thing, it's time for the R33 to go. I have enjoyed the R33 for what it is but I'm not going to go into another project and spend $80k+ again. It would probably be fun but right now, I'm just trying to drink with the boys and live.  The NSX was pretty much everything I imagined it to be, a Honda version of my RX-7. As many knows, I've had many MANY FD RX-7 over 10 years or some shit. I honestly didn't think anything really compared to the RX-7 and the community until I got the NSX. Holy shit, the community is exactly what you think it's like. Petty dudes hoarding the most mundane part thinking they're going to the grave with their pristine "JAPANESE FERRARI" "RELIABLE FERRARI" "SENNA'S FERRARI"...

 Automotive ownership is dynamic, there’s nothing new and surprising about that. People tend to change cars due to needs, wants and sometimes finance. You have these Asian dads getting Sienna when they get their first new born thinking they need a 7 seater to fit one child and guys with mid life crisis selling everything for a nice yellow corvette. I know it’s absurd to change cars more than once a year, even though every year itself is already a pretty short life cycle. However, it’s spring and I think I’m due for a spring cleaning.  We decided to sell the family CRV and it really got me thinking regarding my shit. I’ve done a pretty good job at streamlining my side gig so now I barely carry shit in my 4Runner. Yes, there’s a day or two that I have used the roof rack and truly loaded my 4Runner to look like the recycle guy’s T100 pick up. With that said, I don’t really have any more use for the 4Runner other than to drive like an asshole over potholes and bumps. The car doesn...

Weather in Los Angeles have been getting warmer luckily. I know, we’re lucky to have anything over 45F blah blah blah not my fault you live in a flyover state. Either way, warmer weather means these weird privacy invading idiots are more out and about. You’ll have random guys ask to take photos of your car so they can feature it to their 100 Instagram followers or the ones asking you some dumb glue licking questions. They usually go in this order: 1) What do you do? 2) How old are you? 3) What do you make? 4) How much did you pay? 5) What do you think about crypto? My answer usually goes like this. 1) What do you do? None 2) How old are you? Of 3) What do you make? Your 4) How much did you pay? Fucking 5) What do you think about crypto? Business The weird part is, this only comes when driving the GT3 and absolutely nothing else. I think many tend to forget success is not a formula and you cannot elevate yourself by following a recipe. I’m more than fortunate to be in the position that ...
