And they wonder why I won’t renew my subscription – take a look at the last 3 issues I’ve received…all american cars on the cover…gimme a break, do I sincerely give a flying poop (with corn) about any of these weak ass cars? Caddy Coupe De Ville, Hot G8, and Retro Fire? hahaha – each is gheyer than a 3 dollar bill. I’m sure someone out there loves these cars, but he’s also the dude that loves the viper, corvette, plays country music and is rockin a mullet – y’all.  Sorry to be so honest, but the best thing I’ve gotten out of these things is that I can use em’ as coasters when I’m too lazy to find one – and they wonder why American cars don’t sell?

I need to mellow out…

Great day out today, weather was awesome, had some lunch – drove to get some Lee’s coffee in my buddies 430. What’s better than cruzin’ through Irvine on a nice day hearing the F-car orchestra in the background. 🙂

So about 10 days ago I posted on how I was unable to find replacement rear tires (still out of stock in north america btw) Pirelli P Zero Rosso’s – apparently the rear tire size is VERY popular. As luck would have it – I was able to get a hold of this used set of CLS63 AMG rims AND tires for the same price of just tires for my original set. Booyakasha! Now I just need to have the TPMS transferred and I’m good to go for another 9K miles lol. Guess the CLS is here to stay for now…

My buddy over at Jada Toys posted this up, he’s a total diecast freak so it makes perfect sense that he works for Jada. Apparently they got their own 1:1 scale GTR to play with recently…can’t wait to see what the diecast versions look like! Nice JDM pose Pat!! LOL.

I know, it’s my fault that I own 2 cars and both are 8 cyl, but sheesh…when will it end? Plus, I bought in Cerritos since I was up there and it’s usually 10 cents cheaper than Irvine.
