Since my last post on the topic, I’ve been working on drafting up quite an epic list of car part words, names, and brands in Japanese. While I’m sure they will be some more tweaks made, I wanted to post up the “beta” version of the list to get some feedback for additions. Leave a [...]

I’m sure it is safe to make the statement that per capita there are more USDM cars rolling on JDM wheels in Japan than in the United States. Here we have a Chevy Camaro on Work VS-XX wheels (I believe, someone speak up and confirm!). If it were lowered a bit, it could pull off [...]

Greg has been doing some random paint work on our Dad’s F350. It has seen a lot of miles towing (a lot of our projects – thanks, Dad!) and has taken some wear. First up was the rear bumper which had some rust and flaking chrome. Dad was talking about murdering out his truck and [...]

Timeout: Shakotan Boogie Revisted

On a drive very similar to the first time I stumbled across the Shakotan Boogie Skyline from this post, it happened again. There it was basking in the sun off to the side of a parking lot. After rereading my previous post, it seems my guess that it was coming out of storage was spot [...]
