Day I drove her home.





Couple Days Later



About a year later with basically the same mods as it stands today.


At a bridge I love to go shoot photos at. Speaking of which, it would be a great spot for any future meets for a socal group shot...that is if you macho truck guys are cool with taking pictures of your trucks without being on some remote rugged mountain top covered in mud! Haha









Parking garage at my old college. Got a little artistic with the Photoshop. Going for that super high contrast magazine advertisement style.




Oh and before the STi I had a 2001 Honda Prelude. Sometimes I miss the clean sexy lines from that car. Was definitely a good car to me for the years I owned it. It was a real shame Honda killed it for the RSX. My prelude handled like a dream but was so heavy and slow.





Don't ask for the modlist on the Prelude...way too many things and I know I'll forget at least half of them haha.

So as you can see, I'm definitely a "car guy" who is branching out into the amazing world of also owning a truck. I'm definitely all about purpose vehicles. The STi is for driving fast (way too fast), and the Taco is for long road trips/adventures/snowboarding/ect, ect!


Oh and yeah, i know my lic plates are on there still...w/e who cares lol.

 

welcome!

 

Sweet. Thanks for sharing. I love your taste in cars. Have you considered a boost controler or something to get a little extra out of her? That parking garage pic is sick.

Have you ever played with the sti in the dirt alittle knowing that it came from a rally car and all? or maybe not cuz it may be a bad idea with those tires or lowness.

 

Haha, you're right! My bad.

TacoBlanco, VERY NICE PICTURES! I could only imagine the dilemma you have of owning two highly mod-able vehicles. Which one should I drop $200 on? Oh the decisions your gonna have to make.

That bridge... I don't know you could drive on it. There's a trail underneath it in Poway right off the 15. I think that's the old 395 or something like it? Either way, you've got the photographers eye! There's always that subtle difference in picture taking that makes someone else's stand out from the others. Nice work!

 

Welcome to TW....nice vehicles

 

Yup you sure can drive on that bridge...I don't know how legally haha, but yeah I love shooting car shots there.

Thank you on the compliments! Yeah its gonna be tough not dropping lots of money into the taco and sti, decisions will need to be made for sure. It doesn't help that I'm launching a photography partnership this summer (not to mention all the money dropped on photo gear...oy)

Anyways, thanks again guys.

 

I am a huge snowboarder too. Where do you go most often. Last season, I went to Whistler Canada; Utah a couple times; and Mammoth CA. I am up here in northern San Diego. Nice to have you here!!!!

 

Did like 3 Mammoth runs last year, and a couple of Big Bear runs. Whistler is LEGIT, I went there for new years a few years ago. Been to utah once or twice. I'm feelin a Taco owners board trip next season!

 

Yeah bro, I'm in. I got one of those MVP passes for this coming season so I'll be up there several times this, we'll have to hook up while we're there!!

 

taco's are awesome!

 

Yeah when they opened up the MVP passes again i was ALLL OVER THAT. I've already used it twice haha. Went up to get it the day it went active in April.

 

new photos added.

 

Nice photos...now you need to join us when we have meets and trail runs.

 

I love your cars! Welcome!

Try powdercoating the skid black, it'll look better and you'll like it more.

 

Haha yeah I might not have the fanciest Taco in town, but you guys do and I'll bring my giant bag of photo crap haha.
