Suburban_Hooligan

there's an air show in Huntington Beach, CA this weekend. the military jets are staging out of Los Alamitos Joint Forces base and i just happen to work right up the street. so i got buzzed by the Blue Angels, the Canadian Snowbirds, the Thunderbirds, and when leaving work i think those were F35's. got a few (crappy cellphone) pic's of Blue Angels.

70 1/2 Camaro Z28 from AMT.

it's been an off and on project after work and on weekends for the last 8 months. it has some good points and some stuff that didn't come out quit right. but overall im happy with it.

saw ether a 64 or 65 Falcon today. was a dark burgundy color. looked pretty clean.

what the hell, you can pick up a rust free driver for 10k. that suckers not even a westy. unless it's 4wd it's got nothing going for it.

64 Impala, black, from what i could see of it, it looked pretty clean. late 64 bug. darker blue (non factory color), empi 5 spoke wheels chrome lip with grey spokes. roof rack. quiet pack muffler. looked pretty good from where i was sitting. it was in the same parking lot as the Impala. 2 spots over. red 66 Mustang. red, black interior, cragar wheels. also really clean looking. and last but not least, not sure of the year, 21 window VW bus shell shell on a trailer. looked like it had just been painted. white over gray. and yesterday morning i saw a red 65 Chevelle. so it's been a good car spotting week. i need to go back to running a dash cam, i could pull screen shots from the video.

mosquito bites. and not just any mosquito bites. asian tiger mosquito bites. so not only do they itch like no words can describe, but they're painful as well. and to top that all off, they're in bad locations. back of my right leg behind my right knee right where my shorts rub. and on the side of my left pinky finger at almost the middle knuckle. and if history's taught me anything, ill be dealing with these for the next 10 to 12 days.

Angelfish's self titled album. it's the band Shirley Manson was in before Garbage. most of the album sounds like an an early yet refined garage band version of Garbage. it's got 3 sand out songs (posted below). but the whole album is worth a listen if your into 90's era post grunge alternative rock.

that. is. freaking. COOL!

58 Impala convertible. black with black top. didn't notice the interior. looked like a very nicely done stock restoration.

judging by the headlights/grill, side marker lights, and possibly missing side trim, im guessing early to mid 80's. but don't quote me on that. i like the body style but don't know a whole lot about them.

i find it somewhat shocking that there's a square body Chevy in the UK. that doesn't seem like something that would be very sought after over there.

a white C8 vette

idk what year, but i saw a red bug eye sprite.

this name goes back to 2008. started using it on a couple RC car forums that are unfortunately no longer around. then started using it everywhere. the name comes from living in the suburbs and while not being a bad guy i march to the beat of my own drum and do things people would prefer i not do and subsequently iv dealt with being labeled a hooligan my whole life. before that i used to use the name st_dragn_wagen. which is a reference to my bug. st being the abbreviation for street. dragn came from both drag racing and dragging the ground. and wagen for Volkswagen. and that name goes back to the late 90's when i first started using the internet and signing up for forums. before that i just used random names that i thought sounded cool at the time. a few i can remember are Kafer Meister, Zero Cool, Redneck (also my nickname in high school). Newbomb (Newbomb Turk), Phreakazoid.

i seriously hope Hello Kitty is mounted on a rear whipper motor so when the wipers get turned on it rocks back and forth. ?

saw a C8 vette on my way home from work about an hour ago. it was like a champagne color.

i found that on youtube a few months ago and watched it. stumbled across it by accident looking for old hot rod movies. iv sense watched a few Highway Patrol episodes. pretty good show. anyway, if anyone wants to watch it, here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbih-1ru9YM

im loosing the battle to bermuda grass in my back lawn. stuffs taking over a third of the lawn. had to do some spot spraying. thanks to it being summer and being in a drought it's going to be a few months before i can replant, which means ill be fighting more bermuda grass in a couple months. lawns man. rewarding when they look nice. but they're a total pain in the ass sometimes.

tuna no crust. ? all i saw today was a red C8 vette and a decent looking early bay window VW bus

in the last week iv seen a new Supra (silver. haven't seen a silver one yet. actually looked pretty good), 58 Chevy wagon (i see it a lot, one day ill get a pic), a couple rather nice VW bugs (today was a super clean red lowered 62-63 on 5 spokes with a roof rack) and a really nice looking square body Suburban 4x4.

left work at 11:30 today. cruised PCH from Huntington Beach down to Dana Point. the car spotting was good, but the traffic was sooooo bad i couldn't get any pic's without causing a multi car pile up. saw more C8 Corvettes than you could shake a stick at. first gen Lamborghini Gallardo (pretty sure it was twin turbo'ed and burning E85), Lamborghini Huracan spyder, Lamborghini Urus, couple unknown front engine Ferrari's, Alfa C4, 911 GT3 RS, Nissan GTR, 32 Ford hot rod (or street rod? it had fenders), a super clean looking 66 Mustang GT convertible. mid 60's Bronco, and lastly, one of those new lamo electric crossovers that Ford had the audacity to call a Mustang Mach E (which i didn't even know were available yet, so i was confused)

R33 ?
