Over … the Weekend?

Hachiroku Jam

Over the weekend, I had the fever for mass destruction. And so, it was decided that visiting the local mountain pass would serve as a worthwhile evening activity. Here’s a view from the top, with all the city lights beneath.

Glutton Mode... Engaged!

Then of course, it was time to eat Pho. Vietnamese food is glorious in ways I can imagine. But eating is better than imagining, and so that is what I did. One rare steak & tripe bowl of Pho + one refuel of chicken with broth 20 minutes later + the 3-bean dessert at the end. Glutton mode… mission success.

The following day… (yesterday) I was greeted with complementary delicacies from Japan. Oh what a beautiful way to start the morning. Inside, was strawberry daifuku filled with chocolate. And it was delicious! :D

Please to note the text on the box. It says, “A new type of good taste. A taste everybody will be pleased with. Why not try one?” Don’t mind if I do. And, I did :) This is my new pickup line. It won’t work though, but the story would make for a great followup to this post. Anyways…

Until next time…

Welcome to another posting of “Over the Weekend!” Today’s post features the Hachi-rolla clutch…. and…. PEDO BEAR! yayy!

About 2 months ago, the Hachi-rolla of Doom’s clutch was changed. I never really looked at the old clutch, but I recently found out that it was reduced to a paper-thin wafer. Check it out! No wonder the clutch stopped grabbing — because there was nothing to grab with! :p

After checking out the clutch, I walk up to the Hachi-rolla, and what do I see… ?

^ This time, I decided to drive the FC of Destruction. I took along one of my friends who recently picked up this clean S13. This shot was taken from the loop around the radio station towers. Normally, there would be a really cool view over the side of the mountain, but for some reason, it was suuuuper foggy this time.

^ EVIDENCE! Look’s like there be some mountain lovin’ going on. I make love in the mountain too, with the guard rails. XD

^ For some reason, it was mighty foggy on this side of the mountain. (On the other side, it was nice and sunny. -_-”‘ )

^ By the way, this skidmarks — I did NOT make… I swear! Doing donuts in a parking lot is so… 1999.

^ On the way down, my friends aka the police stopped me and my friends to compliment us on our fine automobiles. They said that some of our fans had alerted them of our special appearance, and so they wanted to ask us all out on dates before we were gone. Anyways, for some reason, they gave me an expired registration ticket… even though I had valid registration on hand. Go figure. Looks like I’ll be making a donation to some courthouse in the near future. Whatever. It was worth it! -=^_^=-

Saturday was a pretty fun day. I went to Glendora Mountain Road with a few of my friends to check out the scenery. In the afternoon, this place is just beautiful. I’m glad my camera phone was able to capture some of its greatness. Since it’s Spring, the mountains are starting to get really green. And there’s no better feeling than being surrounded by your favorite color :D But seriously, when you’re in the city all day Monday to Friday, there’s nothing like being up in the mountains with the summer shine and the lush grassy background. Anyways, here’s a few pictures for you to enjoy. I would have taken more, but I’ll save the extended photoshoot for next time, when my car’s actually clean! haha ;)

…And here’s the lineup. One of my friends took his new Lancer Evolution X (or ten, however you want to spell it; Roman numerals or not :p ). Then there’s my friend’s FC and my cousin’s Corolla of Doom. There’s a few more cars to the right, but my camera phone couldn’t capture all of them. In order to get all the cars in the picture, I would have had to take a few more steps back… off the edge of the cliff. :p

Here’s the rest of the cars. In the front is my S14 of Doom — notice the massive bird bombing next to my side mirror LoL. Then there’s my friend’s RX-8 and my other friend’s Turbo FC. Speaking of which, turbo is for cheaters :p j/k I wish I had turbo in my S14; maybe some day, if my cars stop breaking and if I can manage to save some cashola.

And now please enjoy a closeup of the most fastest danger-mobile on the road. Just kidding… or am I? :o Hahah, the car is more-or-less stock. No… wait… it’s COMPLETELY stock! What’s cool about this car is the amount of roll it makes through turns. That’s right; it rolls a LOT, and it’s cool! It’s almost comical, but somehow awesome at the same time. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. Maybe that’s what makes it cool. After all, you laugh when you have fun, so the car that makes you laugh the most is the funnest car, isn’t it? -=^_^=-

Here’s my friends burning up in the summer sun. I don’t care what people say, I think 80-90 degree weather is the best! :D I’m a summer person fo’ life. Also, please to be checking out the environment — real nice… real nice, right? Mountains are beautiful at night under a full moon, but they look just as good with the sun in your eyes. :p

In closing, I’d like to leave you with this unprocessed photo of the great view from the fork. Be sure to say hello to mother nature while it’s still sunny out because before you know it, it’ll be cold again.
