2014 has been the year of many motorcycles for me. e-brake cables, front wheel bearing, and rear trailing arm bushing all went bad on my focus so I barely drove it. ---

I love cars as much as ever. Especially in dept builds that require some in planning and fab work. I probably post 50% of the parts I make at best ☹ Oh and drag racing. Drag racing is the shit. It is the most redneck thing in the world and I don’t care. ha! What I have found though is that I don’t really care for car shows and meets as much as I used to. I like them but only at a low frequency. 2-3 a year is plenty. ---

I’m not clicking the street race button…:snky:. I did get pulled over but I didn’t get a ticket. He commented on the cage, called the car “serious” and took my license. His fellow cop friend showed up, asked me if I liked Carly Rae Jepson or the Italian Job. I told him I liked both of them and then they let me go. ---

I like them but only at a low frequency. 2-3 a year is plenty. Same here on the car shows and meets. I used to go tons of them. I’ve seen so many nice musclecars that I don’t even bat an eye anymore. I’ll hit a few of the big shows. I would suggest going to the oddball regional show that they have in UB. You’ll see PERFECT model t’s, 1890 cars, steam cars, old electric cars, and just weird shit that you won’t see at a cruise night. ---
