We went to my grandpa's house yesterday and while getting Christmas decorations out of his garage I came across this old Datsun manual. My great grandpa used to own this little truck. Must be where Number One and I get our Nissan itch. Oh. And that's our cousin Crystal. Papa's decorations turned out awesome by the way.

The Gingerbread House
I went to Lake Panorama yesterday to help decorate for the holidays. We stopped and saw this Christmas spectacular on the way there and the way back. I'd hate to see the bill this guy racks up but it's for a good cause. Read the sign.
Final Resting Place
We finally decided that it was time to officially put up the cars for the winter. This is their final resting place. Hopefully next year we'll have a new garage built but for now this should save on storage fees which means more parts. :) 3 covers on each of them with foam mattress pads between should do the trick. We're just gonna have to make sure that we air them out on those rare warm days we get every so often. Now we just have to put Sta-bil in the tanks and maybe disconnect the batteries. We might just leave them in though so we can start them periodically. Who knows.

Last Bath of the Year
Took the coupe to the wash today and gave it it's last wash for the year. Tomorrow the battery comes out, Sta-bil in the tank, and under the covers she goes. Hopefully I can surprise her with some gifts when she is allowed back out to play.

The End of The Season
Well, after the few stray warm days that we've had I think it's finally coming to an end. Time to do some winterizing this weekend before shitty weather hits us hard. Might have to have one last meet just to get my fill.

240 Comradery: A Good Deed
Sunday night I got a call from an area code I didn't recognize. I didn't answer and just let the call go on to voicemail. Turns out a guy with a hatch was traveling throught Iowa and was in desperate need of some new tires. He saw my ad on Craigslist for my S14 steelies with like new tires and gave me a call. He had a blowout and was now driving on a spare that literally had no tread on it. We worked out a deal to trade his 5 spoke wheels (which I haven't figured out what make they are) with bunk tires, his bald spare, and 25 bucks for my steelies and a brand new spare. I also loaded up a jack and some tools, with the thought that I would want someone to do the same for me if I was in his position, and met him at a local HyVee. When I got there I helped Anthony swap out the wheels and found out what his situation was. He had been on the road for months out of California for a skating trip. He had his girlfriend, two dogs, and just the bare essentials loaded up in his little hatch, which had no heat. They had been clear over to the New England states and were trying to make their way back home to Cali. After hearing his story I told him to keep his cash and to stay in touch. After a few days I heard back from him and turns out he had ran into some ice in Nebraska, causing him to hit a wall twice. Everyone is okay but pictures of what happened are posted below. I hope I started a chain of good deeds and wish the best of luck to my newfound friend and fellow S Chassis Comrade. Good luck duder!

Honda RC166
The RC166 is a bike that was built in the 60's for Isle of Man TT race. It has a six cylinder 250cc engine coupled with a 7 speed gearbox and is capable of 18,000 RPM. It only made like 64 hp but god damn this thing is sex. The noise this thing makes is ridiculous for it's size.

Inspiration for Buns
Found these on Zilvia. 15X8 -50. Flares on a 14? Youbetcha.
And then I chopped them so he could see just how dope his shit could be. He had the opportunity to buy the exact same wheels with a -63 offset but he passed...costly mistake. Hahaha.

Dat's IS250
Met up with a friend that Bunny and I have known since middle school last night for dinner. He moved to Georgia for school for awhile so we hadn't seen him but when he came back he was rollin' hard in a Lexus. It's lowered with F Sport springs, has an F Sport intake and hes got an OEM lip kit for it. He's got big plans for it and it's already coming together. Sorry for the shitty pics. It was cold and I was shaking.
Huh?
These handles were in the bathroom at school next to a urinal. At first I was like, "Huh?" but then I was like, "Oh."

New App for iPhone
I downloaded this game last night. It's pretty realistic for what it is. Check it out if you haven't already. Best app I've installed yet.

Ingenuity
Henry from Heartbreaker has it. Going through his build thread caught me off guard like whoa. It's the coolest shit I've seen in quite awhile. Steering rack bushings made with play-doh and polyurethane? Win.
Cutting Class
Again. I'm sick so I took the opportunity to make some bomb ass omelets.

Winter Is Coming
And so is tons of filler material as the season drops off. The cars will be stored for the winter but the impala will be seeing plenty of super rad parking brake drift mayhem. We plan on stockpiling parts over the winter and throwing them at the cars when spring hits. Time to get my 5 speed on stat.
Now for some of that filler...
