オフ会・Off Kai

Hi guys, I’ll bet you’re wondering what the hell Off Kai is so let me explain. Off Kai is nothing more than the Japanese term for a car meet (Actually, it’s used for any other hobby meeting as well, but for us it means a car meet.). Off (オフ) is actually taken from the English word READ MORE

When It Rains, It Pours (Updated)

(Updated: added damage photos from the appraisal appointment.) (Update 2: added photos of repaired vehicle.) Fucking hail. That’s all I have to say. Well, not quite. As you can see from the pic and the ones that will follow, my BRZ got nailed by hail this past weekend. We had a hella storm roll through READ MORE

気持ちいい!!(Feels Good!!)

Ahh, it’s finally starting to become consistently warm outside around here and it feels great! On the whole, it’s generally still a bit chilly for the most part, but the warm days are becoming far more frequent, so we’re definitely on the upswing.

Two For The Road

I’m probably giving my age away with a title like that.

As I’ve mentioned somewhere before on this site, READ MORE

BRZ & GR 86 Factory Tour

Since I’m on a roll with vids lately, here’s an oldie but goodie – it’s a tour of Subaru’s Gunma, Japan factory where  the BRZ and GR86 are built. Again, Japanese only, but the content is self-explanatory and you can watch the cars being built on the line by the people who very likely built READ MORE
