Looks like I'm going spending $60 on some housing for my iPod Classics.
The more I learn about them the weirder it gets.
First off, I have a 5th and 6th gen Classic.
The 5th gen parts fit in a 6th gen body.
Both of the iPods look the same, thus the 5th stuff is in the 6th body, and the backs are reversed (says 30 GB, has 120, and vice-versa.) :crazy:

For my 5th gen I would pay extra and make it a U2 special edition iPod, with a new front, back and clickwheel.

The 6th gen would get a new screen and a front/back


 

Panoramic
by H_enry_T, on Flickr

Just got 3 of these panoramics for 1 euro each from a sports store, they were going to throw them out, so I stepped in and made a good deal :D This is the only one I've put up, the rest are going for my father's photography stuff, as they were not as good as this one.
 
A bottle of Arberlour A'Bunadh - probably the ballsiest single malt I've ever tasted. Sets your senses on fire... plus it's 60% proof! :trouble:

That's pretty neat artwork 👍
 
New car. Actually bought it two weeks ago (hence the muck) but I'm lazy and only just took some photos.

Upgrade from the 04 Civic

Why does it have a Scion badge? Are Toyotas really seling that well in the States?

It's what brand they are sold under in the US. Toyota has the image of boring, family sedans so in order to make it sound exciting to younger people they brand it Scion.

UGH, I wouldn't want it branded Scion... all the heritage goes out the window :ouch:
 
If I were to buy one, then one of my conditions would be for all of the Scion badges be replaced with the proper Toyota ones. The Scion badges just seem completely wrong. I would be annoyed every time I saw the Scion badges.
 
That whole Scion rebranding thing is confusing to me. Yeah sure, Toyotas are boring these days, but give us in the States the Toyota FT86 and it would be like the good old days again when Toyotas made exciting cars like the Supra, MR2 and the good Celicas. The Scion badge, to me, makes the car seem... like "popped collar", wannabe tuner, brotastic, younger generation car. I want a grown up sports car

Weird how brand perception works.
 
My previous helmet was way outside any SCCA regulations so I figured I probably get a new one.

Love it! Great buy. I love scions. Are you going to do anything to it?

Thank you.

So far it's had winter tires installed on ugly steelies.
In the future there are a few cosmetic things (couple of JDM interior bits, sharkfin antenna etc) and probably an exhaust at some point.

Of course, I shall post all purchases in here.

Your welcome.

I was on steel wheels for a long time but finally got some nice rims.
& cool, I'll look for the pictures. Are you on scikotics ? It's a scion club website.
 
Got a front lip for my car.

What do you guys think about the mudflaps on this car? I've always been hesitant to getting them on my car because it's something everyone with a Subaru does.... but then again my car is blue and gold... so it's far from original anyways. lol
 
As WRX as they can be! Which I think is a good thing, really. Somehow a WRX STi just isn't one without a WR Blue Mica and golden wheels for me.

You'd end up having to do that yourself, but I would do the same thing.

Fixed.

Not a premium buy but very useful. Work gloves. Very good grip with smooth surface. Should work as racing gloves as well... :sly:
