Meet Takata.

So as you now know, I’ve been living here in Baltimore, MD next to the inner harbor. It gets lonely at times, so it’s good to meet new friends out here. On my days off when I’m not in the hospital, I sometimes take Joy’s dog, Turbo, a very large pitbull, out for walks and for car rides as we explore Maryland’s backroads in the country.

I <3 this puppy.

This is Turbo, Joy's pup.

Recently, she tried to adopt another pitbull puppy she named Takata (yes, as in the same Japanese company that makes racing harnesses) from Brendon Ford who found Takata on the streets in Baltimore hungry, and without an owner. He took her in and nursed her back to health. Unfortunately, where Joy moved to, they wouldn’t allow her to have more than one dog, and Brendon couldn’t take her either as he has his own dogs he must take care of. So I stepped in and decided to adopt her.

BFF's forever!

Turbo gets a smooch from Takata

Turbo protects Takata all the time, it's cute.

I figured I could do the same for Takata. She’s already gotten used to the stiff suspension in my car, and now she’s been in the car so much, bumps don’t even phase her. She’s my kind of dog. You’ll be seeing more of her in random posts. What does it have to do with cars? Her name is Takata.

These guys are impossible to separate, impossible to live with.

Best co pilot ever

Nostalgic Wednesday:92-97 Subaru SVX

Oh look a Lotus Esprit, no it’s a Delorean, wait, a s13? NSX? Oh a Subaru SVX. First thing that came to thought was, why the SVX?  Not a favorite and maybe an eyesore to some, I actually wanted to talk a little bit about the SVX because it’s a rare occasion if you spot one and it gives you that “HA!!LOL THAT WINDOW!!” reaction. 

Nostalgic Wed/OTWeb Vid: KenMeri <3 <3 <3

A few Nostalgic wednesdays ago, we reminisced about the Skyline 2000GT-R C110 “Ken&Mary”. While searching random stuff on youtube, I stumbled upon this video of the Kenmeri captured by our friends from GTChannel. I loved the simplicity of the video on how its just a raw walk around with out the Final Cut pro super editing. I loved the attention to detail they captured with simple zooms and pans that allowed us to appreciate the texture of the original paint. The “Kenmeri” would still be my favorite skyline GTR. This video would probably be the closest way to satisfy my dream of simply walking around the car and checking it out. If you put a Ferrari GTO and a Kenmeri GTR side by side; yup, Kenmeri wins my attention. Have a good Wednesday and enjoy the video.

 

Random Snap: Downtown Baltimore.

I don’t really ever take pictures of any of my cars, but I snapped this pic two nights ago as I was wandering around aimlessly in downtown Baltimore near the Inner Harbor where I currently live. I then let fellow protographer Khiem Pham make a quick edit, and this is the result.

Yes, I know. I drive a hairdresser’s car, but it gets great gas mileage!
