MaxxOil

I’m pretty excited to be running this in my BMW. I’m kind of an oil junky if you’ve known me over the blogging years. They are working in both Global Time Attack and NASCAR currently. It’ll be cool to see this stuff on the store shelves in the coming months!

styling

I’ve always pulled a lot of my styling ideas for my personal cars from other makes and styles. I don’t like to surf any one particular forum for ideas. I feel like the reason why you see a lot of similarly modded cars on the same forums is because that is all people ever look at. If they know A + B is the combo to set up their ride then why take a harder road? My personal style is function always following the looks of the vehicle. Now that doesn’t mean it will be the fastest around the track or have Rcomp tires on it 24/7, but I always set my rides up so that I can hop in them at anytime without worry. My newest project the E90 is a great example. I stretched the tires and have the wheels millimeters away from the fender lip, but at the same time the car rides excellent and doesn’t rub no matter what happens. To me a car is not complete if it only looks a certain way. Making it perform (whether that just be driving on the highway without issue) is just as important. I don’t mind a dedicated car (for performance or looks) either, but for myself I need my cars to be used on or off the track and parked or doing 80. I’ve always liked old school Toyota’s that are drift inspired. They typically look good and are meant to be used also. I feel like you get a bit of that influence by looking at my E30 drift/street car.

shut up

I am tired of hearing all the whining on the internet. I’ve always felt a real car enthusiast respects all aspects of the car community. I’ve been wanting to write up an article of how I feel about it all. I came across this article on Speedhunters and thought it was pretty on point. There’s people on either side that are just annoying.

Ben Sopra

At my last visit to the Fatlace Paddock I as able to spend some time looking around at 2012’s projects they worked on. The only thing that sucked is my camera battery died 5 minutes into the whole thing. I was able to snap off a few of the Ben Sopra Skyline they completed for SEMA.
