Just letting all of you know I have updated my photo albums so follow the link to picasa on the left

Deutschland

I know it has been a long time since my last post and I'm sure all of my loyal fans out there have been flipping franticlly through the archives in hopes of divining the hour of my return. Well fear no more I have returned from my sojourn to Germany and I have many a tale to tell. Many of which I am too lazy to write so when I get the urge you will see the results later. However for the time being I will give you an overview of my four week stay in the land of Beer.Or Deutschland which roughly translated means kick-ass beer (lol).
I spent four weeks in a town north of Frankfurt called Stockhausen. I attended the Goethe Schule in Wetzlar as well as the extracurriculars at the Poco. Also on the this trip I visted many a castle and old towns includeing Weilburg,Braunfels, Wetzlar,Frankfurt,Heidelburg,the Rhein area, and some other places whos names elude me. I'm sure you'll see my exchange student comment and maybe if you send him money he'll tell you all the secrets of the unknown towns of Germany. I also visited the Speyer Auto and Technik Museum and saw an entire Ferrari collection as well as a ton of other cars. I will post a gallery here or on my Picasa albums.
The highlight of the trip was found quite a ways east in the area of Leipzig called With Full Force. This is a metal festival of which I have written extensively but will post later because it is currently sitting in a notebook and not on my computer. Needless to say this was a three day orgy of metal and alcohol capped by an exquisitly rainy and slightly hung over days worth of travel home.
In upcomomg posts will include the wonder that is my exchange partners mother, With Full Force of course, the Auto and technik museum and the things I wrote while I was over there, as well as my encounter with an American Soldier. So don't be a stranger be sure to comment and hey this n00b finally got a facebook so look him up under the nam. This is a fake name I use so as not reveal my true identity. O yes there will also be a lengthy discourse on beer so stay tuned.

We gotsta step it up

I am an avid viewer of Youtube for some time and as you know I am also an automotive enthusiast. So through the wonder of YouTube I have been able to satiate my desire for car pron. I have noticed though that on the underground racing scene that imports seem to be dominating domestics granted you can find videos of domestics beating ricers as well, but that's not the point. Anyone who is anyone obviously knows what a Supra is and what it can do. For those of you who have forgotten here's a video.


The problem is that these people build these cars and go out and smoke American cars and then post videos on the internet. Don't get me wrong American cars kick ass there is nothing I like more than the roar of an American V-8, but as owners and drivers of these cars we have to learn to pick the races we can win. Sure stock Mustangs and Camaros are great in fact here's a video of some pretty awesome F-Bodies just to prove the awesome factor.



But as owners of these cars we have to be careful because stock v stock an SS Camaro or a Mustang Gt should and is able to beat a Stock Japanese muscle car like the Supra or the Skyline. However, what happens is that these "tuners" get a pile of bolt ons and go out and beat stock American muscle and think that because they have done so not only are they the most amazing people in the world, but that American cars are shit. However, if you were to line up similarly modified American and Japanese cars the American car would probably win, but at that point its more on the skill of the tuners and not a nationalistic issue so back off.

So here's what needs to happen all of you who own American muscle you need to modify these cars and go smoke a Japanese car of similar build then post videos all over the internet so as to restore the pride of the American Muscle car.
