I always wondered why some people get so worked up over styling changes on other people’s vehicles.


Thanks, To me wheels are the easiest thing in the world to go back and forth on so I never give it much thought. If I could have found the 360 BBS Challenge wheels reasonably priced I would have bought those to run.

It is a blast to drive, very different than the 911 but love them both.

Doing about my yearly bump. I grabbed a W115 Mercedes that I have been having fun getting back road ready. I also grabbed a E30 M3 last year but haven't done much to it other than wheels and suspension.

During the summer my friend Rutledge was having his RWB built and asked me to stop by. Was pretty neat experience watching all the build with the film crews running.
Since I had not been driving the 911 much the fuel pump has started to fail. When I was getting ready to leave it sputtered and did not want to crank.
Nakai-san was smoking a cigarette and offered to help and bumped the pump while I turned it over to nurse it back to life.

Thanks, I have a few more in the house but those are pretty much my 3 favorites I personally owned. I always loved Kevin Staab's decks as well as Lucero's. Been looking for a Lucero Jester Vintage deck for some time to put on a wall.

Nice collection.

I am a fan of the Staab Genie, although I am not sure it really is a favorite of many/most.... First board I landed a handrail on: that complete get any more action these days?

Thats awesome.

I don't ride that one, that one has my trucks and wheels etc from back in the day.
I do have a vintage Claus Grabke that I ride.

Funny one came up for sale local in super nice shape and I had to hold back. That was a solid ride, glad to see it has been good for you as well!
