Family Vaca / Pt 2

2nd Day in Maine and of course, we had to swing by LL Bean. Ever since I was a kid I can remember my dad ordering from these catalogues. Needless to say, he was as excited as I would be if I were going to Porsche or Nissan's headquarters 

Our hotel room for our stay in Bar Harbor. Pretty quaint, very 50's vibe to it. 

Maine in general was pretty awe inspiring at how beautiful everything was. Reminded me a lot of my trips to Washington/British Columbia. 

A lot of honest, good working trucks...

...and only a few imitations.

Some very naturally pretty front lawns. 

Totally didn't notice the moose on the roof until we were leaving. 

And sadly that's it for Bar Harbor. We were hitting a town each day and after traveling from one to the other, didn't have too much time to explore around. More coming tomorrow

Family Vaca / Pt 1

New trip, new pics. This time though, things are going to be a lot quicker and less wordy. So I'm in New England for a brief family vacation and first stop was Portland Maine. Maine in general has been giving me a Washington vibe, but overall it's just this wonderful blend of small town Americana and gorgeous nature. 

The hotel we're staying at. Perfect location in "downtown". 

If you're looking for an E30 M3 or EF Civic Si, you're in the wrong area. But if you're into older American hot rods, that's juuust right for this state. 

Sweet Chevelle yo, diggin' the wheels.

That's all for now. Next stop, Bar Harbor!

JDM 8 Series

Ah the E31. Just one of those cars that even the thought of altering makes people freak out, and for good reason. Despite having been a commercial failure, to many BMW fans (and car fans in general), the 8 Series was one of the few cars everyone can agree that BMW got right. It had some of the sexiest styling that ever came out of the 90's, top of the line GT luxuries, and monstrous engines that just steamrolled over everything in front in a very Bentley style, but with the buttery smoothness that is known with BMW powerplants. So taking such an example of "perfection" and throwing on Japanese tuning styled pieces might be taking it too far for many, and personally I borderline agree with them, except in my eyes, this is that borderline where the owner took it up to acceptable and stopped right on the edge. It works, and works really well, but any further and such acts would have become verboten!

In The Moment / Track Ready E92 BMW M3

There are some wheel/car matches out there that just work so perfectly, and the latest one has definitely got to be E9X M3's on BBS F1's. Just fits so well. 

In The Moment / Weiß Beetle

Finding that perfect balance between daily and track. 

In The Moment / A Euro Rally Rivalry

Seeing these two Group B legends side by side in the States is something you just can't forget about. The biggest question, which would I go for? Nah, who am I kidding, I like Audi but I'd take that Lancia in a heartbeat!

Car Spotlight / Track Attack NA6

It's no ASM or Evasive/Voltex, but the spirit of track attack is definitely strong with this one.
