Ricer Meet, 8-6 Edition

August 6, 2014

Rice Box Truck on Westheimer

Houston, TX

86 Day in Houston was a success, I would say. It was hosted by the Mayday Garage boys at the weekly Ricer Meet. There were a total of 8 AE86's in attendance, ranging from track/drift machines to street ricers.

Monthly Dose of Supercars

Supercar Saturdays

August 2, 2014

West Avenue at River Oaks

Houston, TX

The Houston Coffee and Cars has been on and off this year, and they seem to be having problems with the venue, so we had to go look for an alternative for our monthly dose of cars. We decided to go to the Supercar Saturdays because it is closer to home, and I've really wanted to go to one of their meets since around April. The venue was amazing, the weather was beautiful, and the people were abiding by the rules... and their was music, too.

It's Back!

Houston Coffee and Cars

Vintage Park

Houston, TX

After a 2-month hiatus, the Houston Coffee and Cars is back! Well, it wasn't as good as the last meet two months ago, but it was a start. This month's meet was greatly hyped since the very first time the organizers originally announced the first cancellation. The "extra" exotic cars that were supposed to be present today, as promised by the organizers, were not present at the meet. Sure, it was disappointing to say the least, but we all should continue supporting Houston Coffee and Cars in order for the meet to improve quality-wise. Hit the jump for more photos.

2014 Grand Prix of Houston

June 27-29, 2014

NRG Center

Houston, TX

The weather for the race weekend of the Grand Prix of Houston was insanely unpredictable. It was the usual bipolar Houston weather, which brought both rain and sun in the same day. Fortunately, we made it to the 2 days of the race weekend.

Happy Birthday, Dianne!

Roaming Around Washington, DC

We probably picked the wrong day and time of year to visit the capital. It was cold and wet, since it rained for the most part of the day. With the limited time we had, we weren't able to visit a lot of places, especially the museums, but we made sure we stopped by the really famous and easily accessible ones.

Traveling On My Birthday

We flew in to Newark Liberty International Airport, got a rental car and drove to Washington DC while passing through Philadelphia. I spent my birthday traveling, on the air and on the road.

Of Hope and Despair

During our stay in Tampa, FL for Thanksgiving Day, we got the chance to help in feeding some of the homeless people around the area. It was disheartening to see a totally different side of the city... that of homeless people. One would never have thought, from a tourist's perspective, that such a beautiful city would have such a problem.

Thanksgiving Trip of '13: To Tampa, FL

This may be a super late post, but whatever. At least it isn't Thanksgiving 2014 yet.
