    Cruise to the New Year | Daily Life

    We have been talking about doing a car cruise for the longest time in 2018, but never got around to it. It’s 2019, we won’t talk about it, we’ll be about it. Even thought my SC wasn’t running, I was going to make sure I was coming to the cruise, so I took out the IS.

    We met up at a Target at the bottom of the mountains and I even brought my new pup, Moscow along.

    Like always, Nimo was on Filipino time and was 2 hours late. Fortunately, Steve and John were down to chill and eat while we waited.

    It did not feel good to drive the IS on these roads.. The excessive camber and soft suspension felt unsafe at high speeds. I’m going to keep the IS as just a grocery getter from now on.

    High up in the mountains.

    Another car on bags and excessive camber, Andy’s GS350. Both of our girls were feeling nauseated from the drive.

    We decided not to go all the way to the spot where we usually do the night drifting and cruised back down to this opening. Surprisingly, there was a group of enthusiasts down here trying to flag people down for a group photo shoot.

    John found his family.

    It’s 2019, let’s get shit done.

    Brought the camera to work at 714 Tires and decided to shoot around. Good thing I took the IS250 to work. 

    Crazy how all the things I had planned for this car years ago have finally come to fruition.

    Got the Scaras finally rebuilt after my accident.

    Rodney was cutting his Cressida’s hood for a vent today.

     

    Came home to a sleepy Bushinka.

    Decided to shoot some photos of the IS in front of my new fence. I can’t wait to paint the fence black.

    So in love with my 78 Works tail lights.

    Ending it with a photo of our game night with Sara, Vu and Nimo with Sara’s Nintendo Switch. Good night friends!

    The bosses over at 714 Tires recently purchased a Ferrari 360 and since I had to pick one of them up for work the next day he let me use the Ferrari for one night. The Ferrari was an impulse buy because it was so cheap, but now all it does is sit in the garage at 714 Tires.

    Italian perfection.

    Kiki running out to check the Ferrari out.

    “I can’t find it?”

    I love my dog. 

    So cool to see both of my cars in good condition. It won’t last long tho…

    It always amazes me what a wrap or a color change can do to a car. I never thought the SC would come this far after sitting for 6 years with the faded matte cancer black paint job.

    Old and new wheels about to be built for the IS250..

    Sara came to visit with her CR S2000.

    Ketchup, mayo and dirty mustard.

    Also I got my Elantra for sale 8.5k obo let me know!

    Also a new addition to the family is this 96 Civic I got from Nimo. I bought it originally for my brother, but it’s been pretty cool to drive. I might just steal it from him…

    I went out today and looked at my car and realized I have a pretty neat car. So, I decided to spend the day shooting my IS250 at the park for memory purposes. Sometimes in the end all you’ll have are memories.

    Loving my front bumper and headlights. I never thought I would be this far with this car, but thanks to Kyoei for helping me get my AIMGAIN front bumper.

     Building a car really does bring a whole bunch of people together. Thank you to my friends and family for getting me this far.
