Final week!

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Well, it’s my final week of summer. I’m kicking it out with a ton of car shows. I hit Hot Import Nights Columbus last Friday night with Ben. It was not one of the largest HIN shows, but it was quite fun. Grassroots drifting, stunt bikes, cars, etc. I was there for roughly 12 hours. Ben and I were the 3rd and 4th cars there… I will be attending Street Life Tour on Saturday to end my summer. Sunday and on it’s more orientation activities for UC…

I’m free!

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Finally, after twelve years, I am free from the confines of the public school system. I graduated June 3rd at roughly 8pm. :) Yet, I do not feel any different as everyone said I would. Perhaps it is because I realized there is much more to life than school over two years ago?

The past two weeks have been action packed, as expected. Two days before graduation I saw an ad on craigslist for a 1990 Nissan 240sx hatchback. It was a relisting of one I had made an offer on in January. She had relisted it at $1100 and swore that it had no rust. I talked her down to $900, said I’d be there the next day, and without anything other than grainy cell phone pictures and word that it had *zero* frame rot, I embarked on a three and a half hour drive to Paintsville, KY with my father. I looked everywhere I could see or reach. Her word was as solid as an oak. We exchanged the cash and title, loaded it up, and embarked on the three and a half hour journey home through the Mountain Parkway.

I guess you could consider these my perilous actions, financially. I’m building a 240sx the summer before I start college. Full engine swap and everything… so without further distractions, the perilous acts s13:

And for the people that do not understand drifting, these people get it:

I also finally got my web development environment set back up. It got royally screwed while working on my Future Business Leaders of America project. So I should be back doing web development this week. Let me know if you need something done. :)
