Pimp My Stolen Accord

Here's an odd story: NYPD was able to recover Amanda Pogany's stolen Accord, after 3 years. Now, usually when stolen cars are recovered, they are usually stripped, but when Amanda saw her car again, it was not an empty shell - it was heavily modified. In the time she had forgotten all about her family hauler, it had gotten a new leather interior, a manual swap, an engine swap, some aftermarket crap, a Dominican flag, and a wooden cross. What's a Jewish 8th grade teacher who doesn't know how to drive stick to do? She doesn't know, but I know what I would do: Part that sucker out! Except when selling the parts, I probably wouldn't want to use the article's description of some parts:

Amanda Pogany's once-humble white 1996 Honda Accord was returned to her drag-race ready, with a brand-new V-8 engine, tinted windows, oversized tires with special hubcaps - and custom valve stem caps shaped like bullet casings.

V8 engine? Special Hubcaps? OH RLY? :/

Pen spinning tricks from Japan…

Go kart drifting for kids?

I had just gotten home from work when I decided to do what most people do when they get home from work, relax on the couch and watch tv. Right when I turned on the tube this commercial came on.

It's a new go-kart style toy called Ground Force Drifter. To say the least I was kind of suprised. I know drifting, after being introduced in Japan so long ago, became pretty popular in the states, but I never expected this. I have to admit, I'm a little jealous, oh to be a kid again! One of the great things that will come out of the release of this new toy is a whole new generation of drifters, or a whole bunch of bad drivers... oh well I guess we will have to wait and see ... HA HA!

Forum Madness: Acura TL vs The Wifey

I'm a regular reader over at Acurazine, but I don't know how I missed this thread. The thread goes to show you need to be careful what you write about your significant other on the internet...as well as making sure you log off your computer or whatever computer you were on.

It all started earlier this month with a man-rant "My wife and my side chick *aka* my tl" by forum poster, Billy:

I Love my GIRL and i take care of all of my responsibilities but everytime i save the money to buy something for the car is a problem. Even when i ask her and tell her what i am going to do in advance and at first she is ok with it then out of no where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY YOU GOT THAT SHIT IT DOESNT LOOK GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY DOES THE CAR GET ALL THAT ATTENTION AND I DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BITCH COUSE ALL THAT CARS DOES IS GIVE ME PLEASURE AND ALL YOU DO IS FUCKING COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

I SWEAR SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS SINGLE BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS BAD AT TIMES SHE CAN BE THE RIDE OR DIE CHICK THAT I NEED AN SHE GAVE ME MY GREATEST LOVE IN LIFE WHICH IS MY BABY GIRL "Elena"

Do any of you guys have this same problem or is it just me being too into my car?

....and then goes straight to divorce by page 2.

Wait what?!

Monday Musings

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've put something up, so I just wanted to stop by and say a little something. I just wanted to say thanks to Infamous for his help in spelunker-ing the web for some good stuff to look at. (feux carbon fiber vinyl...what?) I myself have been lacking in the posts cause I've been working on a side project for the past couple weeks which led me to do a side-side project. That side-side project ended up being the following...

The IJ DeadCone Shirt! Our buddy, the DeadCone, is front and center on a very nice heavyweight shirt which comes in a variety of colors, and its all vinyl printed. Nice right? Want? I know you do, so keep coming back to Import Junkiez and we'll do a little something when it comes time to release this shirt to the wild, but for now we can gawk at the awesomeness. Gawk I say...!!!

On a tangent here about gawking at awesomeness, I came across this little gem at the local D&B's Prize Pit:

What is it? It's a diary from one of the Disney licensees - cause its so obvious Disney Consumer Products would never release crap this good. What makes it super awesome is that it appeals to that "inner ricer" in us all and uses the Japanese Katakana for "Cars" and along the bottom says "DRIFT" in a typical race font with emphasis on the Rrrrrr! I wonder how many of these diaries D&B pawns off. (Wait is that DeadCone & buddies up front?) Anyhow, this was a good laugh, I thought I should share, but folks there are better things to waste our hard earned tickets on at D&B's.

And with that I'm done with the awesomeness for the day...its just too much and I got some errands to run before the days out. Hope you all have a good rest of this Monday and I'll catch you all later! ;)

3M Di Noc Carbon Fiber vinyl…

Do you like that carbon fiber look? Well I know I do, the only problem with carbon fiber is that it's really expensive! I know that carbon fiber vinyl has been out for a while, but this stuff looks and works great. 3M's Di Noc Carbon Fiber vinyl might just be the way to go for that carbon fiber look. I mean just check out this subie. Enjoy!

Nissan Sentra SE-R Goes 1/10th Scale

It's been a while since I've actually logged on to the internet, but I did happen to catch this ad from Nissan Canada. Entitled, "Drift," this commercial is all kinds of awesome and all it's missing is some action figures and Dale Ishimoto, the guy who portrayed Mr. K in the 90s. Enjoy the Ride!
