Praise??

I watched this commercial praising Mercedes Benz and it's brake system.  But I seem to see it the other way.  It just looks like a breeding ground for more stupid drivers to stay on the road.  If you're sleepy, then get off the damn road.

If you're tired of the defying all odds AE86 (Initial D) or the satan possessed S30Z (Wangan Midnight). Here's a little european flavor for the gear heads into anime. eX-Driver features an all european cast of cars. Lancia Stratos, Lotus Europa, and Caterham Super 7, driving the streets of Japan. And since it's in Japan there's lots of drifting cause we all know that's how the Japanese drive. Just like they all know karate. The story itself is a bit on the weak side, but the detail on the vehicles are great.



But here's a clip to wet your taste buds.

And yes I spent about 4 hours of my life watching it instead of working on the beast. Not all in one sitting.

Old Vette

American classics don't swing by the shop very often, like this early 60's Chevrolet Corvette. Usually these type of owners are very meticulous and prefer to take to a shop that specializes in their particular vehicle. Since this shop usually caters to old Toyotas, this was quite a surprise. But definitely a treat, since I never seen one up close and personal. A clean car, with a coolness factor that is second to none. Even people just walking by would stop and just admire the car.

What is Alto

Alto, if you're a Macross Frontier fan then you'd probably be thinking Alto Saotome. Yeah, i'm a big Macross and Robotech fan, but that's a story for another blog another time. But for the Japan car nut, think cars. Think Suzuki, some of you may already be thinking 'I thought they made motorcycles?' If you're from a different country then some of you are probably familiar with this model.


A while back I was able to take a ride in a Suzuki Alto. I never heard of such a vehicle until that day. Reason being is that it's a car that is not sold for U.S. consumption. Powered by a 3 cylinder, yes 3. Which equates to 1.0 liter of madness. This would have a been a big seller during last summers gas crunch. With 7 a gallon tank, it can take you ~250miles according to its driver. But i'll let you do the


You may think it must be slower than molasses in the middle of winter. But in acutality it's not bad at all. Due to the really thin sheet metal making this car really light. With that a weaker chassis and vibration is evident. The size of Alto is slight larger than a Smart car because it's got 2 extra doors. If it were up to my I'd have a special edition built for the canyon circuit enthusiasts.

Peepers

Just received a set of Cibie lights recently. Yes the French do something good besides good bread and ice cream. But not for the Corolla, but for the Mazda. Yes I own a Mazda, I haven't formally introduced RX-3, that'll probably come at a later date. But for now I just wanted to show off the new (to me), but used set of eyes for the RX-3. Oddly enough I bought them off a guy on the Volvo forums. And for a pretty good price I might add. Though I won't have time to work on the Mazda anytime soon, I just seem to be accumulating parts every now and then. I just want to fall into the trap of working on too many cars and then going broke cause my weak check is being spread thin.
