this car is too fucking cool man.

TINT

2010-09-26T03:00:00.000-07:00

so i have been thinking about tint percentages and what i should run on my car, i want to tint all windows, and possibly tint the windshield slightly lol.

this seems hella reasonable i wonder what percentage hes running?like 25%?

this is extreme/sort of more what i want...

this is awesome.i think this is like 4%

pretty cool percentage whatever it is.

this is probably a little too reasonable but i thought id put it up anyways.

this is cool like prolly around 15%? maybe ill do something like this so i can see out of my windows and shit.

so leave a comment, PLEASE i want feedback on tint percentages. like how dark is 10% is it like no more parrel parking at night dark??

man i even miss the interior.....

that feeling you get when...

2010-09-04T14:10:00.000-07:00

yeah so you know how obsession with different models of cars beings, how its like at first you see one car in particular and your like ooo nioce. so you find out like what the deal is with that car, and who built it and if that dude has a blog or anything that will yield more photos of the car...and while searching you come across all sorts of the same model car and before you know it your obsessed,its 4:45 am, and you think "shit man". anyways heres my most recent encounter with that feeling.1965 cadillacs

this picture says CADILLAC

oh hey guys, almost forgot...taking auditions now for the role of my new white/or/filipina girlfriend. email me or send me a messenger bird with a club sandwich if you really wanna win my heart...

leaving osaka

2010-08-22T12:18:00.000-07:00

so this is all from the day before we left for yokohama(we just got back to osaka)this is what i see everymorning, haha hella differnt from home, also its fun to watch ppl below park there cars...they pull into the street backwards and back their cars all the way into their garages its awesome.
yuya and i ate at mos burger, my first time eating there, it was good...not like in n out good though.
morinomiya is our station.
i forget what yuya said to make me give him this face, but it was prolly something strange.
yuya took a picture of this because i told him picture in the middle is hella common in america and it like comes with picture frame lol and that it was at henrys moms house in the downstairs bathroom. sup henry.
bought tickets to the hanshin -carp game.
this is tennoji station, its like a really cool large station haha.

so today we met up with yuyas home boy tokun and he plays yakyu still, which is awesome, so the took me to this place called DON and it is basically like rice bowls, but really it is so much more than that haha, they have been coming here all the time since highschool . ithis place might have been the best food i have had in a resturant in my entire life.so the room is like sit down style, and like its surrounded with manga which i dont read ahah,btw im hella rare here in osaka,the only foreigners they get here are hella huge anime and manga nerds and shit.

this kare was like hella boiling hot, which is dope...

tokun is crasy, and was telling yuya one of the things he had done this summer, which i can not retell here because its too dope...but i can give you hints, it invloved a love hotel and climbing out of a window that was 4 stories up haha.

then yuya messed around with the bass and i messed with guitar and now we are good and drunk ahah

osaka pt 8

2010-08-13T23:00:00.000-07:00

osaka pt 7

2010-08-13T02:00:00.000-07:00

this is the back door, and its the door to their shop, so customers that want things installed can sometimes drive their car through the store and park it in the shop and or leave the same way, awesome...im loving this wagon style in osaka.

osaka pt 4

2010-08-11T04:24:00.000-07:00

heres what we are rooling in, pretty dope, the back seats recline, honda legend, its like a acura rl? i think.

yuya ahah, so the cellphones here are fucking amazing, i always knew they were better than us phones, but i had no idea how much better they are, this phone called teh aquous is a better camera than my point and shoot, and its water proof lol ill post some more pics of other phones

note the basket covers, so you dont get your shit wet, and the hand covers for when its cold, this bike also has a motor and according to yuya its hella fast.
