Looks like there's still a little spark of life left!

@sokoloka I absolutely love that truck and can't believe I forgot about the creamsicle 2 tone. I really want a 71-73 in either the green/light green or brown/tan 2 tone. My grandfather had one in the green/green and my dad had the 80s Clubwagon in the brown/tan for half of my childhood. I gotta have the round headlights and one of those 2 schemes. 

She's a friggen BEAST and hopefully back on the road again in a hot minute.  Had to do a couple of tweaks in the short term to get her comfortably rolling on 37's ...




Bought this fucker on a whim and made it back 425 miles before throwing a rod through the side of the block 30 miles away from home:



Now there's another one on the project list ....

No credit, no future, no savings, fucked up back but I have 3 BMX bikes and still ride whenever I can. Broke as shit but I've been living 100% on my own after my roommate moved out last fall and all my bills are paid so I can't complain too much. 30 is approaching too quick

When's the best time to plant a tree?  20 years ago.  When's the second best time?  Today. 
You got this shit homie.

sokoloka, you till in the RX game?

Still in the spine implant game, 12 years strong and counting.  Started my own company at the end of 2016 and went full time working for myself in early 2017.  Recently turned 33, still in sunny San Diego, always trying to figure out what moves to make next.  Getting somewhat burnt out on the grind but figure I need to keep making hay while the sun is shining.  Overall life is good!

Jealous of the patch of dirt you got yourself!  Have to pay through the nose for a postage stamp out here.  Missing the vibe this place had!  Still check in monthly when I remember.  Wish we could get BG to pop off again.

Hey guys 31/M/UK here.


How's things been?

Just living the dream as usual.  Figured this place would be jamming again with all the lockdown shenanigans!

Man I can only look at that and dream. It's always been my life goal to own a Ferrari. Sick photo man! Congrats!

Thanks brother!  Move your ass to LA / Southern Cal area and let's go for a spin.

Congratulations, that's amazing. Hoping we get some more pictures.

Thank you.  And absolutely!  Started an instagram to join the new millennium and start sharing some of what I've been fortunate enough to collect.  Will be posting all my cars there: https://www.instagram.com/tireandcrown/ or @tireandcrown

You absolute cunt. Mad jealous. Hve fun with it man, that's fucking awesome.

That’s fantastic. How often is your retrospective “this is where I am now?”?

Thanks guys!  Lots of times I look back in disbelief.  Makes the past decade plus of grinding it out almost seem worth it haha.

No one has anything new to share?

I just did a clutch swap in my car. God damn it was a pain. Had 3 days off work and needed to get it done on jackstands. We made it though. No more slipping clutch is awesome. Shit, being able to shift is awesome.

Made some big boy moves recently.
