Video and blog link from a Chronicle reporter about the this months tryouts.

I knew that would happen

2 months without blogging. I didn't forget, but it's just way down on my list of things to do. But I figured I'd take the time to post this:

More Insanity (AKA :like domestics too, see?)

Project F Bomb

Hot Rod Magazine has been doing this buildup for a while. It's got a Nelson Racing Engines twin turbo small block, pumping out 900hp on pump gas, 1500hp on race gas, and it's completely streetable and there are guys driving similar Nelson motors on the street everyday.

It's got suede army green paint with the bomber graphics, and the roll cage, drivetrain, and suspension to match the power. I'd rather have this than a viper or ferrari any day.

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin..

We gonna do what they say can't be done.
We got a long way to go, and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound just watch ol' bandit run!

Year One recreates the "Bandit" Trans Am

"There will be three variations on the Bandit theme, BAN1, thru BAN3. All cars have full body restorations first. Floors are replaced, as are other needed panels, so that the hi-po Ponchos have the best basis to build from. Flush-mounted glass, smooth fender flares, custom projector headlights and LED taillights update the basic car. Chassis mods firm up the structure with subframe connectors, tubular control arms and high performance bushings and springs. The interiors get pimped out in the same custom fashion, with "Bandit" inserts on the door panels, modern seats, a race-inspired gauge cluster and the requisite CB radio. It wouldn't be a Bandit car if you couldn't pick up that mic and say "Snoman, gotcher ears on?" BAN2 and BAN3 packages get increasing amounts of performance from monster aluminum 455s or LS-derived engines, as well as further chassis tweaks and more toys inside the cockpit, like a nav system and race harnesses."

Filesharing, oh how I missed it.

Torrents are a pain in the ass. I found this site and it doesn't have everything, but it has quite a bit of stuff, particularly new stuff.

http://esnips.com

There is more than just music there, and I'd suggest you do the free registration so you can download more than one thing at a time.

How cool is this?

It's always great when someone combines creativity with a healthy disrepect for the law (stupid and outdated drug laws at least.)

The Great Tennesse Marijuana Cave

Donk Racing. Yeah, you read that right.

A link I stole from "Foo" over at Dubspeed

I love it when people modify cars without understanding how they work.

In case someone doesn't know what a "donk" is, here's a link to a donks, boxes, and bubbles article at Cardomain. There's even a magazine with the same name, which I'm sure you'll all get right now!

You want this. I know I do.

So another cool thing from Found Magazine.

Found magazine is a magazine that publishes things that people found. Letters on the street, love letters found in an attic, notes in a box from a garage sale etc. They're funny, sad, eye-opening, and all that. They came to Houston on tour with some of their best stuff a while back but it was the day before I left for my California trip so I didn't have time to make it. Check out the site and the magazine, you'll enjoy it.

From the site (be sure to read the tracklisting. It's hilarious.):

An instant classic! A few years back Nigel Morgan found a mysterious, unmarked cassette-tape on the streets of Ypsilanti, Michigan. What he heard was a demo tape with a deep voice rapping over Casio drum beats � and every song was a booty-rap anthem! With a musical aesthetic somewhere between Jay-Z and Wesley Willis, this rapper unwittingly created an album of booty-bliss. After the tape circulated around Southeast Michigan for a couple of years, Morgan brought the tape to us, and we just had to share it with everyone. Right after we released the tapes, the unknown artist came forward - Tim Schreiber!

1. Wave Yo' Booty in the Air

Gigi Galli. The jump at the beginning is fucking rockstar, and the drift around the hairpin made me giddy.

Theres a second video on the page thats 4 minutes long. At first I thought the song on it was cheesy, then I realized it's awesome in a "Tenacious D" sort of way. It's called "Hard Rock Hallelujah" and they say "the rockopalypse" and a few other awesome phrases in it.

It's just easier.

Why this is here:

1. If I don't have a blog, I'll never get around to sending people links to cool things that I think might interest them.

2. Myspace has a blog "feature", but it's shit, like the rest of the myspace website, and the less I contribute to and spend time on that necessary-but-evil website the better. Plus there's no easy way to take the posts from there and save them, and I trust blogger (owned by google) much more with my data than I do Rupert Murdoch.

3. It's fun.

I'll mostly be reposting stuff from my car club websites, the sound of young america, and digg, and I'll try to credit the original person whenever possible.
