Chimpanzee Riding On A Segway . . .

Once again, Japan shows why they pretty much rule. Really, who else would come up with something like this?

Best pic from Hawaii???

We're back. I'll let you decide if that is good or bad. But Susie and I are officially married now. And yeah we probably have some wedding photos that I could post . . . but how about something fun (as long as you are not the pictured person (in case you were wondering, it's Susie's brother)). Oh and actually we don't have any pics from our camera's of the actually ceremony. I know it's pretty surprising but we kind of had other things happening. And the photographers were there so we're covered. And everyone else had a camera, so again, we're covered. Anyway, you're probably wondering what the pic is huh? It all started innocently enough. We set sail on a three hour tour (after hearing that about 1,000,001 times, it got old) to see some whales (which we could and did see from the beach, but those are different whales). About 30-40 minutes into the tour, we see JD enter the onboard restroom. Didn't think much about it, so we kept scanning the waters for whales. About 10 minutes later someone points out to me that our ol' buddy JD must have thought we were fishing because he was "chumming" the water over the side of the boat. It just so happens that I had the 12.3 megapixel Nikon D90 all ready in rapid fire mode. So that is how we ended up with this image. Go ahead, take in the 4288x2848 12.3 megapixel goodness.

Oh and I think this was where they filmed Lost. Zing!!1!

Gotta go to the Auto Show.

Well it's getting to be that time of year again (even though it is a few weeks away). Auto Show time. So just wanted to see who wanted to go. Of course it would have to be the 28th since someone will be in Hawaii until the 24th. But let me know.

Crazy.

Here are a few more front engine dragster pics from my vast photo archives (that is just various cool (at least I think they are) pics I've found on the 'ol web). The 60's and 70's must have been pretty ridiculous. And I'm just talking about on the dragstrip. They were more than likely using motorcycle wheels and tires on the front with huge slicks that they would smoke the whole trip down the 1/4 (if they kept the wheels on the ground, see pic 2). Their "safety" equipment, while I suppose it was modern for the time, probably didn't really help that much. I mean, look at what is in front of these guys. If one little bolt happens to shear off in the engine, that thing ends up going through your head. There wasn't a windshield or barely a roll cage for that matter. Just some goggles and maybe a mask. And what is with the chick? A bikini and high heels? At a dragstrip? Nice. That was probably reason enough for most of these guys.

Why bring Hawaiin Punch into this?

If this video doesn't make you want to get a mid-90's Regal and turn it into a bubble donk (google that, it's ridiculous) with lambo doors, I don't know what will. I wonder why no one put Coke on there car? Maybe they're straight edge or something. I'm going to put Tab on my donk (that doesn't sound right but it sounds better than putting Mountain Dew on my donk).

Draggin'

Found this on Church of Choppers blog yesterday afternoon. If you were quick enough, you caught this without this very insightful text (and you're probably wishing it stayed that way, but you're not that lucky). It should be pretty obvious that this is the cockpit (I said cock . . . and yes I am 13) view of a front engine dragster. This one actually doesn't seem like it would be too tough to see around the blower. But once the front wheels get off the ground it won't matter too much.

He'll backflip anything that rolls.

Tricycle on MEGA Ramp - Travis Pastrana (backflip) - video powered by Metacafe
I'm sure you've seen this video before since it is a few weeks old already (yeah, I should have posted it when I first seen it when it was still new but I had something else going on. Like what? I'm not sure but it probably wasn't that great.). Basically, if you give any rolling object to Travis Pastrana and a big enough ramp (seriously the ramp in the video is huge, I hope it wasn't built solely for this stunt because that would be a waste of a huge ramp. I mean you could take a skateboard down it, a bike, a motorcycle, and/or probably a battleship) and he'll do a backflip. I'm just waiting for the video of him backflipping his rally car.

"Where the fuck does this shit come from?"

I think we all have ran across something on the internet that makes you say "Where the fuck does this shit come from?". I'm sure even Scott has said this before and he has seen the end of the internet (you know, the sign that says "End of Internet"). . . twice. I seen this video on someone else's blog and thought it was funny, so here it is on my little space. Hope you enjoyed.

Perfect winter car?

And you guys thought this would be about an FJ. I had to post something to push the Focus pics a little lower on the screen. I figured this was worth posting. Actually, I have been fairly slow on the posting front for the new year. I'll try to do more (yeah, right) but I haven't really found anything worthwhile.
