Sorry guys, I’ve been busy writing for stuff that I actually get paid for so I gotta keep it a bit short today. Lately I’ve kinda had the itch to build a Honda again. Don’t get me wrong, I really have no regrets or any sense of “unfinished business”, but seeing everyone’s builds lately have kind of put that motivation in my head. The only problem is that there is just absolutely zero practicality in owning a Honda in Socal. I hate having that feeling of wondering whether or not my car is gonna be there when I wake up. You know things are fucked when a fixed up luxury car can sit outside all day and be fine and a Honda won’t last more than 20 minutes out in the open. I remember I had my old Accord up here in L.A. for like a week back before I moved up here. The only reason I had it up here was so Son of Hasback fame could shoot it. It didn’t even leave my complex. The one day I take it out I get rolled by a cop. That’s one thing I don’t miss about being a Honda owner. You either get jacked or get rolled by the police. You basically got everything stacked against you. That’s the only reason why I didn’t daily the car, not because it was a garage queen or anything like that. I used to love driving my car, there are just so many factors preventing me from enjoying it. It got so bad to the point where my dad used to come home at work every night at around 3-4am and he could see some fuck parked a couple houses away waiting for the day that I leave my car outside of my garage overnight for him to take…
Even with all the bullshit, I do miss wrenching though. I don’t really do much of that anymore, mainly because I don’t have the funds to do so. The other reason is because I own a car that doesn’t require much work. I would love to tear apart my Q45 piece by piece and put it back together but there’s nothing to do to it that would require that. I’m always around Hondas too and that also makes me want to get back into it. The majority of the people I associate with are still heavily into Hondas and they tell me all the time to go back. I got so many ideas in my head as to what I would do if I had a Honda again. The whole hobby has just evolved so dramatically and it would be fun to apply these new things. I don’t know, the VIP scene is a welcome challenge though. It’s just hard to do anything VIP related without any real funds to do so. It almost seems strange to be building a VIP project during these terrible economic times. I guess I got alot of thinking to do. On one hand, I’ve always been one to see things through to the end so I really want to finish building this Q45. But on the other hand, I’ve kinda had an itch to go back to Hondas and I got so many people telling me to come back. It’s just something I’m gonna have to sleep on. Which reminds me, I need to get some sleep, I was up so late these past two days that I honestly didn’t even realize that whole daylight savings time shit happened. You know what would have made this whole post cooler? If I had the Doogie Howser M.D. theme playing in the back as I typed this…ah…dum dum dum dum, dee dee dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum dum dum…
Now you know why I don’t write music…
