1995 Miata (A PKG). this is my diamond in the rough sub 2k Miata Fun car is fun.
Cowasiki versys 300x ABS
Track bike. A CRF100 sumo'ed out. It has a bbr 120 kit, rebuild bomb proof rear wheel, high flow oil pump, a takegawa rear shock, and soon will have rebuild forks & bbr rear spring. #trackdaybro #trackjunkie
insano mini bike with 12 hp and gobs of low end torque (will also be FS)
Drift trike aka adult big wheel aka insane fun but
Wife mobile 2010 acura MDX with tech package we bought used.
past insane vehicles:
"the green car"
the nc700x
the supermoto i should have never bought and i wish people would have talked me out of
BIMMER aka the FNCYMX5 aka german miata. honorable mention to best buds in pic
Definitely the worst car purchase decision from a financial perspective. And that's saying a lot. Great car, just expensive, epic depreciation.
solo shot when clean
This is gone now. Served me well for 6 years, I beat the hell is car and it took it well for the most part. It will be missed, but onto other things. Probably not my last VW but I need a break for a decade or so.
tow vehicle
16v swapped mk1 cabriolet with 4k trans, cam, full exhaust. the thing hauled when it ran. Good cheap car.
I had a mustang once. 2013, GT, preformace pack with the 3.73 torsen and brembros
I had a NA miata with a supercharger among other things
I had a focus with a turbo 2 frame sizes too big
I tried to build a kit car, this was before the green car. The turbo focus was the donor. I was prob. 75% the way done, but the green car presented itself and was supposed to be 'done' and I realized around that time I like driving alot more than wrenching.
s13 race car for 24 hours of lemons
Gromage. went full retard down the mod path with this and seemed to only make it worse.

not so insane, but the namesake car I had for like 12 years, 01 golf tdi with the ALH. Tuned, VW eibach springs.
Race van owned for ~18 months. Held value well and combined with the previous acura helped us get out of the red with the BMW Z4

How was the big scooter? It seemed capable enough on the dagron.

Loaded up my shit, nothing fell off. Got the bike running easily enough, and after running some non ethonal gas through it its running like a top again.
little bit of racing
lots of general fucking around. I forgot how much fun that stupid thing is.
Next up I need to fix the fuel issues. Basically, i need a higher tank. and will put in a fuel shut off.
After that... I was loosing out bad cause my clutch is less than ideal for my fat ass. I guess its time to upgrade to something better....
Hopefully will get more pics later, had some other friends there with a camera.

I've tried to ride a minibike twice and holy fuck was it scary. I quit quickly before hurting myself.

Somehow I never got to the "I'm invincible" teenager stage in life - the minibike attempts were at like age 13 and 15 and I almost immediately went and got off those things. I take more risks now than I did back then, dat being old enough to sort of know what you're doing and still young enough to do it...
