J, I forgot to say- this is pretty awesome and creepy all at the same time. I like going to abandoned places like that. Makes you wonder about the story, start to finish, of the place or building

Oh c'mon now. We know your dorm room was known as the "bath house". And yes, we are well aware there was no bathroom in your dorm

this one was cool too...but was demolished like 2 years before we got there so we only found plaster pieces mixed in overgrowth. eerie

The UFO House


Got some 1940's milk jugs here, the glass kind from a company that's been out of business for 60 years.

Yeah, *that's* probably why...

Hope you woke up in a strange bed this morning...

...or woke up with some strange in your bed.



No, no I don't. I hope you got adequate rest to be alert and on point for your tasks of the day.

but cool on the grill...at least you didn't do the c(ock) mod grill.

GAH! Not the wheels!! That is the most ghetto mod of life. It's like "well I can't afford any decent wheels, but lemme try and fool y'all by painting these another color. Baller status achieved!"

Sorry. It's early. Maybe it's just me. I just can't stand seeing plastidipped wheels. Makes my skin crawl.

It's the equivalent of putting spinning hubcaps on your car.

So I've always been thoroughly against RHD cars. I hate them. Their north american counterparts are generally slower, but, have much nicer interiors. Here, you get an older Lexus SC400 with a nice leather interior, where in Japan, you get the equivalent Toyota Soarer with cloth seats and a much more spartan interior.

That, and making left hand turns is incredibly dangerous, since you can't see all that well.

But then I was thinking. Once the Miata goes, what will I buy in the future? There is next to nothing that peaks my interests these days. Well, there's some, but I don't want to pay that much for a toy. So I started thinking... maybe JDM is the way to go. They have WAY more manual transmission cars available. Way more sporty models that were never available in north america. They are cheaper than their equivalent north american models. And since it'd be a fun car, I wouldn't have to worry about being annoyed with left turns since I wouldn't be driving it all the time. Hmmm....

Started looking at NSXs, lol. It seems there are very little NA2s available, and they are just as expensive as here, but I can find an NA1 for 28-40k. Not bad. Not bad. There's Subaru galore with so many turbo AWD and manual models available. Ones we never even had here. And there are SO many various Type Rs available, it blows my mind. The RSX style Type Rs are now available here... hmmm...

Depends. I'll be free between 4:15 and 6:55. You know the plane boards 30 minutes before.


How far are you from John Wayne? I should have hit you up last night, and drove over to you.
