I’ve gone through a number of vehicles through my years, primarily 4 cylinder motor vehicles with a couple forays into 6 cylinder territory. Historically I have been a fan of the 4 cylinder due to fuel efficiency, size, and affordability. I always have, and still have, a soft spot for the 4 cylinder sportscar. They tend to focus more on handling and driving skill in my years of estimation. That is why to.. Read More
I grew up playing racing video games, graduating through Rad Racer (NES) to the legendary Gran Turismo for the original Playstation. The game served to whet my interest in cars and racing, which simply flourished throughout the years. This above image is circa year 2002, an event called Hot Import Nights, or HIN, from Orlando, FL.

I was also missing.. Read More

No more shoulder taps from coworkers asking for help or complaining. To be honest, it was nice at first, until I realized my wife was stuck working at home also, meaning I actually will never experience solitude. Then the governor began relieving the city little by little… Read More
Much, much of my life is surrounded by automobiles, which is ironic considering my wrenching abilities are… weak to say the least. That has not stopped me from learning a little bit about the combustion engine and what it is capable of. All of this information culminated into a realization… I really missed out on the RX-7. I was born an 80s baby, an elder millenial, if you will. My teen years were.. Read More
