I've played with the nuts and fiddly bits of NEARLY, every mechanical part, minus the gas tank. Almost all of it has been removed, swore at and reinstalled over the course of the last month. Today marking one full month since the build began on Sputnik. Almost every bolt molested in someway, I do remember being aware of ignoring the gas tank.  BUT THAT **** IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. Finished up most of the cooling system today by getting the oil cooler all sorted out, my customer BJ Twerkzzz coolant piper/bong adapters in place...

Brain kegels. This is just me typing. I may never post this, but even if I am brave enough to post it up, it doesn't justify that it's a good read. It all began, one mid summer fall winter spring morning afternoon evening when I completely forget why I needed to leave. There's no memorable reason why I needed to leave, but suddenly I felt this massive desire to leave my life.

Long ago, legendary import drag racer, Stephan Papadakis complimented my Scooter on facebook. We were not friends, I don't know how it happened.

I can't fight it. I shouldn't fight it. I've just have a magnetism to 5M powered vehicles. Though it seems more often then not they seem to find me.

This little duck is so far the only 5ME, I've owned. The was a white automatic ghost...

        It's been quite accidental that I keep ending up working on 3AC's, but here we are. The many brutally slow, horribly efficient 'power' plants. This little red AE86, was a rescue car.

Popped it in, and it lives on even now.
