It's about time......

I finally made it through a drift event unscathed, mechanically, in any way. Don't get me wrong, I spent the day puting out "fires" as I usually have to do. The hand brake wouldn't cooperate at all. And new clutches aren't real partial to working when abused before they've been broken in. To combat these issues, I had to let the car sit periodically to keep the clutch cool and I had to use "shift-lock" to initiate a few of the turns(Thanks go to Chris for that one). In practice for the comp, the tires on the front were junk. I'd enter the turn, initiate, start my slide and the tires would stop gripping and suddenly it's pushing up the track. Bolting on spares for the rear helped immensly, because they're a lot bigger(wider). I didn't make the comp. My runs weren't good enough. While they were my best of the day(it took me all day to get my act together...), they did suck. However they were so much fun that all the aggrivation from earlier in the day was worth it.
I'll be honest, I'm REALLY glad the season is over. It's been a long and expensive season. The car is good, now it's time to make a list of what I'd like to change over the winter, prioritize it and get started. Right now here's what I'm looking at:
1. Change the brake system so the foot pedal controls just the front and install a dedicated master cylinder as the hand brake for the rears.
2. Fab lower arms and modify the tie-rod mounting on the spindles for more angle.
3. Install a power Mustang rack to get some weight off the nose
4. Change the rear suspension to a 3-link with a panhard bar.
A few of these projects are rather ambitious, but well with in my abilities.

To my job......

Dear Job,
  While I could carry on a long and boring rant about how much I hate your guts, I'm going to save us both a lot of time and sum it up with this from Asuka: 

I hate you, you bucket of fetid monkey cum

       love, Mike

Finally, something I feel lucky to have....

Today I was driving for work(that's what my crappy job entails now....) and passed by one hell of a hot female. I could only see from the back, and what great backside it was. I'm sure the front looked just as good. She had an amazing rear, beautiful straight black hair, and was black(african-american if it makes you feel better.). What does this have to do with my feeling lucky? I consider myself lucky because a womans ethnicity has no bearing on how attractive I find her. Because I'm not tripped up on something (as I see it) so basic and elementary, It's a very cool thing to see so many hot women around me. When skin color means nothing to you, there are limitless possibilities of mates. This really comes into play when I deliver to the college. Asian, Black, Hispanic, and White. They're all represented and in great numbers. Over the years I've known many guys who aren't racist, but wouldn't consider dating out of their ethnicity. My though is why let something so rudimentary keep you from finding the woman who could be your perfect mate?

One of those days.......

It was a little foggy on the way to class this morning, so I had the headlights turned on. I remember thinking to myself that I need to remember to turn them off when I got there. Of course I didn't. Returning to the car after class, I discovered the battery to be dead. Called AAA for a jump but it was soo dead, it wouldn't budge. Godammit, this does not bode well for my day.... Called Mom to come and bail my ass out. Called my buddy on the way home, to see if he could help out in retriving my car from school. Got home, went to his house, went to my brothers to get my trailer, drove all the way to the other side of the city, back to school. Tried to jump the car for the hell of it. Suprise! It started. Drove the car back to Moms and my buddy followed. Grabed the stuff for the Malibu, returned to the barn, dropped the trailer and fixed the 'Bu. Went back to my buddys house and picked up the Blazer that I'd driven there to meet him, and finally returned home.
Text book example of a cluster-fuck, but at least it worked out in the end. I got my car back and the 'Bu is now totally fixed and ready for battle in two weeks at Drift Battle 2009(provided it isn't cancelled due to lack of entries.).

This image is from "Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan". It has a couple of REALLY hot lead characters, Plug(red hair) and Aresta(blue hair and my favorite), and some good fan service(as seen above), and I REALLY want to like this, but there are a few things holding me back. The lead male keeps hitting the two hotties with a baseball bat constantly(I'm only four eposodes in thus far....), sometimes resulting in them wetting themselves. Frankly, I'm not into "water sports" and find this kinda stupid. Aresta seems to be turned on by being hit by him. Sorta bothersome.... It's got some excellent ecchi, which I love, but the whole bit with the abuse of the girls is trippin' me up.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.....

It's Sunday eve. and I figured i'd share some more catgirl love with you. (like anybody really reads this crap....) Why do I continue to do this? Because:
1. I have a thing for catgirls
2. I have no life
3. I'm bored
4. I just feel like it.
By the way, These awesome images are by Kamiya Tomoe. The dude (or dudette) does beautiful catgirl work! As usual, click on the pic to get the bigger versions.....

Of course I dig the catgirl maid the most. And she's even rockin the "shimapan".

Wheelhop - 2 and Moser Eng. axle - 0

Here's the axle I twisted off last weekend. I pulled the "good" one out to replace the seal and discovered that the splines on it had twisted. So, I just ordered another one. You can sure bet I'm gonna fix this goddamm wheelhop issue! To recap, I flushed a pair of Moser Eng. 1541H steel axles down the drain due to wheelhop. This sucks. If you can avoid it, don't repeat my mistake. I was a bitch getting the broken piece out of the differential.
