Arizona Trip

emily and i had a great trip to arizona. i'm so happy i came out about my obsession with cars (and other things with glassy paint jobs). people seem to be very understanding. the arizona crew took me to 2 car shows. nice of um.

first, these girls made some cupcakes for the shower.
then hashifa sang karaoke -guantanamera!

then my nephew and i played HOT WHEELS!then we went to the first car show.

i want a go cart like this.

tough with a touch of classsssssss.

celebrity sightings! lightning mcqueen!
and bumble bee from transformers!

some great motorcycles with wonderful paint jobs.




the next day just emilys dad and i went to the barret jackson auction you might have seen on tv.
the first section was full of stuff a millionare might put in his 20 car garage/ hangout.
tons of restored neon signs along with kids rides, stuffed buffalo, western sculptures etc.
this boat was one of the best things in the world thanks to it's beautiful brass hardware and mahogany hull.



i want to make a toy of this

this is already like a toy so it'd be redundant to make a toy out of it
here's the cars from monster garage


the monkey's car


robosaurus was for sale! he did his thing.



fortunately he didn't eat us or our saturn and we went home.

ahhhhh coool!

this hot, custom bike has plexiglass wheels. isn't that terriffic?

status change

i had this gi joe. it was covetted. it was out of print, like they didn't make it anymore. and ninjas were hot, very hot at the time.

i let this kid borrow it along with some other good g.i. joes. he came back to school and said, "sorry, storm shadow broke." he didn't show me any evidence or anything. like maybe the thing could be fixed or something. but nothing. his status is changed to enemy.
