Thanks! I've never been happier/more excited in my life. Wedding planning is definitely interesting considering he follows certain Asian traditions from his culture. So far, we have only set our date. Next is booking the venue. <3

what up all! Its finally cooling down out here so I have been putting in some work out in the garage.
Finally brought back my AW11 MR2 to the house to build. Pulled the engine and now im in the process of cleaning it up and getting ready to put the new engine in. A 4A-GZE Supercharged! I found an engine out in Payson in a junkyard. It should be a little rocket when its done. Its going in to get painted lexus graphite gray with Takata green TE37's. Im trying to find a stock OEM scion MP3 player to put into it as it will be my new daily driver car. Anybody want to part with one?
Been putting in some work on the bug as well. Picked up an OEM VW of America roof rack from 67! found it local too. It was a killer score. I also picked up some vintage luggage and i ordered in vintage travel stickers to stick on them. The one suitcase has an old school panama sticker on it already how cool is that! Im getting ready to pull the engine and rebuild it back to perfection. I never seen an engine that doesnt use head gaskets.... its been a learning process fo sho.
I put over 5K miles on my Supermoto since i picked it up. Im going to be pulling the motor on this bad boy come Jan to bore it out 43 over. It maxes out at 104 at the moment. Im hoping to fix that. Im picking up an IMS desert tank, new Acebis Plastics and hand guards along with new levers. No more desert riding for this one, Im picking up a desert thumper. Prob another DRZ 400E for myself and a XR100 for the g/f's daughter so she can join the fun. We'll see.
Im sick of eating dirt out in the desert on SM tires. The last 30mph spill cracked the magneto cover and sprayed oil all over my leg....
anybody else have any builds going on this winter? Dan?

Hey Kids,
I just dodged a bullet this week. I almost traded in the tC for an 06 Lincoln LS.
Moral of the story is I am taking my Megan racing mid-pipe off. If anyone wants it, I'd like to get $150 for it because I've only had it on for a year, but I'm willing to part with it for $100
Here's where i bought it so you can have a look.

You can either respond here or PM me. I'd like to sell it local so if you are a Pittsburgh peep let me know, otherwise shipping is going to raise that price!

Finished up all the koi's finally
put about 14 hours in so far. I need to let my arm heal up a bit then i'll finish up the rest of the sleeve
2nd Koi (represents my mom)
3rd koi (represents my dad)
My arm so far:
my arm is worn out, did the 1st one sat., the 2nd one on tues night. and the 3rd one on wed night. Not to bad for nearly a full sleeve in a such a short amount of time. The 2nd one over the joint of my arm was super painful. I wouldnt want to do that again any time soon... the 3rd one wasnt bad. Up near my armpit is where it hurt the most.

Pittsburgh 4 Child's Play
Hey guys I'm trying to run a Charity Drive in Pittsburgh for Child's Play which is a gamer's charity run by Penny Arcade. They buy toys for the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and I'd like to have everything on the Children's Hospital wishlist purchased for the holidays! I figured I would throw this out to you guys cause the Scion peeps have always been good to me! Below I'll put all the links for the Facebook Page, Twitter account, the wishlist for the hospital, and the main page for child's play. Like the page, follow the twitter, maybe buy a toy for the kid's stuck down in the hospital or just help me spread the word. Thanks guys!
