New WRX Exhaust

My New Car

So, i don't know why I do this to myself, but i have been meticulously planning my new vehicle. Theres no way in hell i can afford it right now or in the new few years, but so help me god it'll happen soon. I've been getting myself so psyched up looking at pictures, modifications and prices. The car is the new 2009 Subaru WRX, a real machine. Its $23,000 now, and my fiendish plan is to A) Work my ass of over the summers and put aside large sums of cash B) Work at a Subaru dealership for an attemp at an employee-pricing sort of thing C) Take out a hefty loan after putting roughly 2-4k down. Now i wonder if i could pay off my student loans plus a car... well quite frankly, i need this thing to be satisfied with life. It's literally my dream to own one of these, and they are total badass young man machines, i can't be in one past the age of 30... The patiece required for this is immeasurable. It is featured above with aftermarket 19" Ultraleggeras

Next in Line...

The next chapter in the model car project are the Toyota Supra and Porsche 911. These cars were an atempt to outdo all the other cars to date. The plan behind the Supra was to give it an aftermarket look with a custom fabricated hood, colorful paint and decals. The 911 GT3 was made to just look badass. The color scheme is gloss black body with flat black double stripes, while the interior is laden with yellow accents. See for yourself, these are some good looking plastic models.

Pictures of old model cars

I have been building models cars for about a year now and they have just been getting more complicated, here are the first models to come out of my "garage". The above cars are the two Subaru Imprezas, the first between my brother and I. Again, my brother and I had a buildioff with the muscle cars at the very top. Both the paint jobs were mine however...

After these two projects came the Escalade, which we decided to paint flat black due to its "gangster" nature.

Finished Metroid Project

Going home this weekend for Easter, just ordered 3 new models cars. I plan on making these new additions the crowning achievement of my model-building career. The last entry, a Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger both had incredible paint jobs. The Mustang in particular had a metallic red body coat which took a base layer of chrome and 4 layers of transparent red. For these new cars, a Porsche Carrera, Ferrari Enzo and Toyota Supra, i plan on specialty paintjobs with some custom graphics with masking techniques. Perhaps for the next series of blog posts, i'll have a few pictures... jeez i feel like a nerd, but gotta get the blog posts coming.

Been into models cars lately. In the last 2 months, i have probably spent over $150 on these damn plastic cars. On the plus side, i have been thoroughly been enjoying the ability to express my car enthusiasm and artistic skill on this peculiar canvas. My home bedroom has become a small museum for my collection of custom built models. Not only are they fun, but a great way to spend time when home (there's not much to do in Vermont).

Albany Car Show

The Albany Auto Show is a yearly event held at the times union center. It was kind of a impulsive idea, but i decided to go this year. It was actually a more than i thought it would be, almost every car manufacturer had a booth here from porche to toyota. Among the endless field of economy cars, some of the most infamous sports cars were present including the Nissan GT-R and the new 370Z. As a vehicle fanatic, i was giddy at the chance to get behind the wheel of a new porche or BMW and was reveling at the new 2009 designs. I always thought i would be happy in a car design career, and this keeps my hopes up a little.
