  1. Dodge needs to make the Charger look like the 1968-70 models again. The current 2015 refresh with a Dart-ish front end is not a good direction, probably FIAT influenced. At least the 2015 Challenger is safe for now.
  2. Still watching Kill la Kill and Fate Zero. Not enough time in the day.
  3. Started watching Fate Zero. Had this for a long time and was trapped in the anime backlog zone. Never got around to it till now.
  4. Wow. Nice Shaker Challenger neptunesurvey! A big thumbs up from a fellow Challenger owner....
  5. Mopar stuff!!!.....Cool Dodge Dakota there TKing22. Didn't know there was a Shelby version. I remember wanting a late 90's Dodge Dakota R/T with the 5.9L (360) Magnum V8. Those were pretty quick for a mid-size pickup back then and it looked awesome in R/T trim. Wanted one in black or red. Oh well...
  6. I still can't take a secret organization named Nudist Beach seriously in Kill la Kill??? But I guess it fits into the craziness of the show.
  7. Freezing Vibration (2nd season of Freezing) Score: 5/10 Why: Not to be harsh, but this second season of Freezing is all over the place with a weak story. The 1st season was awesome with Satellizer learning to fight and gain important friendships through all those vicious battles with her own classmates and the multi-dimension Nova aliens. She was like Clare in Claymore. But this 2nd season gets nowhere with illegal human experiments and conspiracy behind Alaska Genetic Laboratory. It doesn't explain what these Novas, even though some hints were given. This whole season was a side story at best and not worthy of it's own 12 episodes.
  8. Oh great...it won't be long before gangs of hoverboard punks terrorize our streets.
  9. Looks like the only cars that are salvageable are the 1962 Black Corvette and 2009 "Blue Devil" ZR1. The others are buried under rocks, dirt, foundation, and other Corvettes. Those might not be safe to recover.
  10. No new photos planned so far. Too busy with other projects. But will let you know if something new is coming up. Thanks.
  11. I don't see the FT-1(as a Toyota Supra/Lexus LFA replacement) going into production anytime soon. The Toyota car line needs sports cars to get kids and young adults to dream about owning a Toyota. Sadly, the sportiest Toyota car you can buy in North America is the Camry SE V6 model. No grade school kid is going to put a poster of a Toyota Camry in their bedroom wall as a dream car. On the other hand, the Kia brand is starting to feel like Honda of the 90's with sportier offerings that's reasonably priced. Like the Stinger concept.
  12. Claymore has an excellent story. Teresa the Faint Smile was my favorite and coolest character in the series. Without her, Clare would not have made it. Finished watching Unlimited Blade Works. I enjoyed this as much as Fate Stay Night. It goes in a different arc than the FSN version but the outcome is similar. We at least know more about who Archer really is in the movie version.
  13. That's one intense Star Destroyer Berttt. Excellent work. Any plans on building the Death Star?
  14. The Honda Civic Si is a good choice. I almost decided on getting that but I need a hatchback, so I got a Mazdaspeed3 instead. The newer 2014 Mazda3's are a good choice as well, and their newer Skyactive engines are good on power and fuel economy. If you want something fun to drive with good performance, go with the Civic Si. If you want something fun to drive with good fuel efficiency, go with the Mazda3. The Civic Si uses premium fuel where as the Mazda uses regular. I've had my Mazda for 6 years and not one problem so far. Also, the insurance on my Mazda is actually lower than my 2001 Honda Civic EX.
  15. You know..this is pretty shocking and sad. I made a diorama for his 1/48 valks 4 years ago. He was truly a Macross enthusiast and a cool guy to talk to about the hobby. May you forever fly your Valkyrie in the endless blue sky Corey.
  16. So Paul Walker's younger brother, who looks sorta like him, is going to join the F&F crew to continue the series. Am I the only one who is feeling a Gundam 00's Lyle Dylandy (a.k.a Lockon #2) vibe here?
  17. Watching Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari. So far, it seems entertaining. The living mecha reminds me of Evangelion Eva units, but without the awkward cockpit plugs.
  18. I have seen some horrible accidents in person that makes me think twice about going fast on public roads, no matter how straight or harmless it might seem. After seeing an Isuzu Rodeo flipped in front of me at high speeds after passing my car, it changed my view on speeding needlessly. It happed on I-15 freeway outside of Las Vegas. The driver in the Rodeo passed me probably at 90mph on the left but over corrected and sank the front tires into the dirt resulting in spectacular summersaults before enveloping in a cloud of dust. Other cars stopped and one guy pulled the driver out of the crushed Isuzu fearing it was going to burst into flames with fuel everywhere. When I saw the driver's face (a female), or what's left of it, I almost threw up. My friends in my car would not even walk close to the scene. There wasn't much anyone else could do at that point. That was an image you just can't forget. Ever. So be safe everyone.
  19. Wow! Just wow! Sad news. He was a car nut too. As a fellow motoring enthusiast, enjoy your cars responsibly and safely everyone.
  20. Just half way through the TV series. Got rib pains from laughing. So many WTF??????? situations. The most unpredictable and graphic conversations happen with these girls. Miyamae Kanoko from Maria Holic would love this sick and twisted school.
  21. Ooooh this is too funny. Seitokai Yakuindomo takes the raunchy level to 11+. The girls in this high school are just all perverts. These girls all got their minds in the gutter???? Every sentence has a double meaning. Poor Tusda, one of the few guys in this all girl school, gets so confused as to what the efff is going on. Too hilarious.
  22. Unfortunately, it is the Revell 1/72 kit. That kit wasn't the best fitting with finest detailing. There were lots of kit bashing, custom mods and long hours of sanding and puttying for that kit to come out sort of decent. But that kit was cheap from the start.
  23. It will be a great looking car all around. The only down side to this new 2015 Mustang is that it will be such a sales hit, it will be ubiquitous all over the American automotive landscape like Toyota Corollas. Owning one will not be a unique experience since your neighbors, friends, or co-workers will have a similar car. Other than that, it should be a fastest Mustang ever made with the best handling. I would get one too if I was in the market for a sporty 2-door car.
