Another Weekend Post…
It's the weekend for most, but for me it's still my Thursday. I had just got back from a wedding and dreading waking up tomorrow for another day of work. So what's going on this weekend for you all? This weekend will be a trip down to Mai Tai's in Long Beach. Nice little place, but it can never compare to the crazy nights in Honolulu...lol. The biggest difference and a key factor: the weather. It was perfect in Hawaii...not so much in Long Beach. Still though, a nice place to hit up every once in a while, especially when you start missing being on the islands. Check it out sometime...prolly on a nite when it's not so crowded like tomorrow.
Kind of missed a couple key news items this week, but I haven't really had time to catch up on stuff. Here are a couple things that caught my eye during the week, but didn't have time to post:
Mazda RX-8 40th Anniversary Edition: Another edition of the RX-8 will debut in Japan. This time celebrating the 40th anniversary of the rotary engine. Drawing inspiration from the Mazda Eunos Cosmo, it's a decent package that is along the lines of the previous Shinka models. Although this time it's a white/black combo, instead of the blackcherry/tan combo.
Toyota/Subaru Developing a Car?: Maybe a connection to the previous AE86 revival? Toyota and Subaru are pairing up to build a sports car(?) for the Toyota brand. Interesting indeed...if anything it'll be another choice in a dwindling supply of Toyota sport/sporty cars which is a good thing.
S2000 CR First Drive: Embargo's have been broken and test drives and impressions of the S2000 CR have popped up while breifly scimming through random RSS reports. Yup, the cow-catcher face of a car has had some mixed reviews pop up around the internet. Plusses: One of the finest tune Honda's to date. Minusses: It comes at a no frills package that will have many wondering, why buy it when you can get a better buy somewhere else? Might have to wait to see one and drive one in person before I go on about how Honda has left their Honda fanboys behind...
The K20A Civic Type R motor: Although people seem to have mixed opinions on Honda's state in the US, at least they listen to our Asian constituents. Temple of VTEC - Asia has a nice little write up about everything you'd ever want to know about the VTEC engine currently residing in the JDM Civic Type R.
METROID PRIME 3: Corruption: For all you hardcore Nintendo fans make sure to check out your Wii and download the previews for Metroid Prime 3! Just previews...not demos. What do you think this is, Xbox Live? Anyhow, coming out in a couple weeks...it is a must buy for any Wii owner. Let Nintendo know that hardcore gamers have also picked up a Wii by picking this game up!!
I'm still working on the pictures from SpoCom in Long Beach last Sunday. Hopefully after tomorrow I'll have time to upload the small amount of pics I have. For some strange reason most of the pics became really blurry when blown up on low quality settings. Bah I guess it's been that long...
I think I'll leave this post at that...so if you guys have anything coming up or at least to share you can always shoot me an e-mail at the admin@importjunkiez.com address. Any comments or suggestions will also be greatly appreciated...THANKS! Hope you all have a great weekend!!!
