Still not done with the toy that I said I'd post about in the last post. I'll actually post about it when I finish it. Or maybe not. I don't know if I'll ever bother fixing it.
Couple of new things. Various detail supplies that I hope to use over the summer. I'm still stuck with my PC 7424xp which is proving itself to be weak but reliable. For now I'll just relate it to my philosophy of driving; start with something slow as fuck and learn how to drive it fast as fuck before moving onto something fast as fuck. Rupes21 is tempting but I still have a ways to learn with compounding so I'm holding off for now.
I've purchased tickets to go to the Canadian Grand Prix from June 5-7th which I'm absolutely pumped for. I'm going with two close friends and we'll be sitting in grandstand 12 which is right beside the pit exit overlooking turns one and two. I need to stockpile some batteries for that trip.
Last weekend has been the only weekend since this semester started where I've looked back and not regretted spending time (and money) on useless shit. To be fair during the day I was either working or writing essays so whatever, but later on Saturday night Miguel, John, Eric, and Tim swung by my place and we went for a cruise, myself riding shotgun in Miguel's turbo SW20 and later driving Eric's EK9,
It was a good time even though riding shotgun with Miguel is enough to put you to sleep. Get some brighter lights, homes.
Sunday I went karting with the Dori-Kaze guys and had a blast (as always with karting). I've been trying to fend off the temptation to buy a kart but that's a whole different story... that I'm too lazy to tell.
Automotive situation. Hm. I'm not sure about this. I went through my stage of regret of selling my car a few weeks ago but snapped myself out of that pretty quick. I've sold off all of the remaining parts I had for my RSX sub two sets tires (fuck me) and stock suspension which I'll probably end up giving away. I keep telling myself that no matter what car I'll buy that I'll enjoy it - and I know I will. In that regard I've contemplated buying Eric's EK9 or buying a Miata or some shit. My worry is that I'll end up starting a gigantic money pit that I'll never get anything back on which scares me because I'm poor af. I still have my material urge to satisfy my twelve year old self and buy a CP9A which at this point is leading itself to be a better and better idea other than the fact that it will drive me into bankruptcy. I've also decided I'm going to own a 997 GT3RS 3.8.
In regards to the video. I get a little cynical watching sports cars and race cars on TV and the internets and not giving enough credit where it's due. 6:50 onwards that was not the case.
If you've made it this far without wanting to kill yourself - high five to you.
Mike.
