Happy Holidays from HPI / HB

I got this mail today from HPI Racing and although I knew what it was 'cus I had one last year from HPI I'm still amazed by the gesture. Staff members signed it and best of all the address and name was hand written and not an address label. Now that showed some thought and respect. The littlest thing counts a whole lot.

This is why I will remain loyal to HPI/HB 'cus they showed some care and sincerity. I know its just a card but it showed so much more. Does your RC Drift Brand mail you a card and add some personal touches to it? If not then I don't know what to say. I mean you probably spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars buying your favorite brand's producsts and they could at least return the favor even by a simple annual Christmas Card with a personal touch... I'm just sayin...

Much mahalos and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to HPI Racing / Hot Bodies and to all the fanatics and loyals like me...

HPI Racing / Hot Bodies - FTW!

Car Town

This is my shop and my Chevy Silverado and Toyota Yaris.


My latest addiction. Daym it. I told myself that I would never get hooked on any games specially on facebook. Then this Car Town game came oneday via a facebook friend "Wanna Race" request and then "click!"... that was it.
I spend about an hour to 3 on this thing when Im on it. Its fun for anyone who is into cars and customizing cars and races. The garage portion is good too... now I just gotta get more coins to get an xB that costs about $55k in coins...

Trust me you don't wanna check it out...lol

Remember this?

Any of you remember this magazine? If you were, or are into RC Drifting then you knew or should've known about this magazine. I think it was the only magazine that catered specifically to RC Drifting. When I first knew about it I ordered it right away and then when I got mines I couldn't wait for the next issue. I got my next issue and then could not wait for the 3rd one and then the economy tanked and never heard or seen of this magazine again. I do wish that it comes back though because this magazine was our magazine for anyone who RC Drifts. The other magazines just cared about aircrafts, touring, and offroads. I do understand that they gotta cater to which brings in the money but once again they underestimate RC Drifting and the buying power of the RC Drifters. Anyways, I just wanna see this magazine back or someone make another one.

Afterwork 2/23/10

Of all the days to have a dead battery; it had to be today. I parked about 5 - 6 blocks from where I work and I was excited to be heading home. Took a casual and relaxed stroll towards my car all the while invisionning my route prior to. Anxious to see my lil gal 'cus I missed her and so I continued to walk. Listenning to my iPod cranking Hyphy mixes from my boy E3's collection and then halfway to the car switched it up to some Pinoy culture ballads by my current fave Pinoy singer Ogie Alcasid. So at this point Im all chill and mindin' my own business. At about 10 feet from xBrmnt (my Scion xB), I fumbled with my keyless entry fob and attempted to keylessly unlock xBrmnt and I did not see nor hear xBrmnt unlock.... hmmm, must be the fob. So I gently whacked the fob on my palms and attempted again and "Bam!"... nothin'. So I unlocked it manually and attempted to start the car.... inserted the key and turned it and silence.... Dead battery?... so I checked the light switch lever and sure enough. I had left the headlights on from this morning. Oh well, can't do anything but call somebody... then it hit me; I forgot my cel phone at home... damn.... so I got out of the car and took 4 quarters and 2 dimes (no not brizzies - real dimes)... I walked around looking for pay phones and nothing... so I headed back towards work and placed my headphones in my ears and push the play button and vibin with the music again... so I'm just all chill... ain't nothin I can do anyways and no point gettin all mad. So I just keep on walkin. I spotted a pay phone at the park and went straight for it. In the mean time I didn't notice that my headphones was in my ears and no music....too busy thinkin. Got to the phone and called my girl and "Oh schnapps!" 50 cent local calls...wtf... last time I used the pay phone it costed 25 cents... I had 4 quarters and so I couldn't call whoevers for help. Didn't matter anyway 'cus the only number I know is my girl's... So she answered and I held for a bit while she attempted to do a 3-way call. That didn't work out too well... 5 minutes holding and I hear the change fall into the phone's depository bin and "click"... Reached into my pocket and pulled out 2 quarters, 2 dimes, and lint.... So instead of using the quarters, I thought, save it and just head for work and use the phone there. So headed for work and then it hit me again.... "damn" no music... oh well... so casually I walked towards work and surely enough I get there and pulled out my card key swiped it and "Fail"... no entry.... "Fudge cake!".... damn.... So I went for the security tower and asked to use the phone and started calling... (To be continued)
