No, I'm not talking about Slomo, but this kid. Found this shot of my GTI on the interwebs.

Livermore Again

Was out in Livermore again this weekend. My dad grew up there so I've been going to the town my whole life to visit family; so it's always a nice step back in time for me.

The ultra super bonus of the trip was seeing this guy from Scotland I know with a fresh score in tow. An ultra rare 75 swallowtail Rabbit. His second one I know of. Jealous..

RIP Issac

In tribute to Issac Hayes who passed away this last weekend, here's one of my favorite tracks by him. Too many to choose from for sure.

Hung Up on my Baby (instrumental)

Another youtube clip that I really like because I'm lazy and a little tapped out on the creative side of things at the moment.

Would be tough to fade this for me with any other 'rat style' anything..

Caddy's New Shoes

Put some different wheels on my beater. Some random set of 15x7 ATS wheels on a set of 165/45/15 Federals. Quick snapshots post-dogpark to show some friends..

1984 Olympics

I've been doing a lot of stuff at work related to the upcoming Olympics and it got me reminiscing of the 84 Olympics in Los Angeles; the only one I've experienced in person. I clearly remember the orange and turquoise theme.

Belgian Connection

I feel a certain connection to these Belgian golfs I spotted online. I'm also loving the giant windmill in the background. Wish that was a more normal sight everywhere in America.

Rebaixados

I assume 'rebaixados' is Brazilian for 'obscure VW tucking tire'.

And a video of a contest to see what car is lowest.

Velo Projet - Finished for now

After a full week of commuting to work with it, I'd say this phase of the bike is done.. Never realized how much fun a road bike can be. Fast simplicity is where it's at..

More Music

Guess I'll post a couple other music vids that jumped out at me this week.. Kind of at opposite ends of the timespectrum.

Kode 9 and Space Ape. Can't hear much, but you get the idea:

And a mind blowing Rashaan Roland Kirk video from a 1975 Down Beat magazine poll-winners show that I'm not allowed to embed for some reason.

Kitted

My favorite video of the week.. I think I have a good feeling on what project is coming next.

Velo Projet II

Got the drivetrain all bolted up yesterday with the help of a friend. ;) Just needs a seatpost at this point before putting on some miles.

Sunday Thumbs Up

Exchanged thumbs up with the driver of this cool 60's Datsun on BRE's. At the light we both made a comment on how we liked each other's cars. I was driving my gas sipping pickup this weekend. Made my sunday..

Thought it was about time to post some pics of one of my post-work projects i've been distracted with off and on over the last month or so. With the price of gas continuing to go up, the urgency to finish it becomes more clear on the daily. Similar to my cars, it's on the rags to riches tip.
