CARDRUNNERS

What's Your Edge

Once I got over the willies from the mold and got my head straight, I decided not to burn the car. Ok, I was never really going to burn the car. I did like the idea of driving it to the south side, leaving the keys in the car and running away as fast as possible. It would probably take all of 2 minutes to have it get stolen. That's if I didn't get killed for being the most gringo mother fucker around.

I've spent a lot of time in the last week working to remedy this problem. It turned out that there was a leak in a back taillight that was allowing water to get in at an alarming rate. What really sucks is I spent an entire afternoon shamwowing the shit out of my car and demolding it. The next day was when I took it into the shop. They had to use a hose to determine where the leak was. It was pretty logical really, but I hadn't thought that far ahead. My car was again filled with water. That meant I had to shamwow the shit out of it again. I did learn a lot about ripping up the interior of a car. It was easier than I thought it would be. Today is basically the end of the saga. The car is dry again and the leak is fixed. I took my car in to get detailed today. It should be really damn clean now. I'm pretty pumped to see it.

We have a Cardrunners NCAA bracket that we have setup. It's free if you want to join it. You can also join the sidebet pool if you want to get some money on the line. If you win, you get a free lesson from nutte or citizenwind. Pretty cool stuff. We're also giving away some gear and random other stuff.

I have a ton of traveling coming up and the preparation has been keeping me really busy. Next week I'm going to Mexico for a week. It's Julia's spring break so it was a good time to travel. We are going to Maya Riviera. It's the area with all of the Mayan ruins. I've always wanted to see those, so I'm pretty excited about that.

In two weeks I'm going to Asia with Spud, Irockhoes, and Mr. Plastic. Checking out Asia is something I've been trying to do for a couple of years. It takes a lot of work to organize. We are mostly done with the legwork now, so that feels good. We're going to check out Tokyo, Hong Kong and Thailand (Phuket and Bangkok). Any suggestions on things to do is appreciated. We're going to be in each place for 4 or 5 nights so we should have plenty of time to do things. One question I have is about Sushi. Is it safe to eat sushi in Tokyo? I was advised not to, but fuck that. I love sushi and want to eat a lot of it while I'm there.

Why would anyone advise you not to eat sushi in Tokyo? I'm curious.... I have been there twice, and restaurants in the U.S. can't match up.

I'm sure you will have an amazing time. Be sure to hit up Shibuya while you are in Tokyo. It is the major nightlife area w/ clubs and bars...it's definitely a sight to see.

The lady that gave us our shots said that it's not a good idea to eat raw food in another country.

You should really consider taking a couple days off your time in Bangkok and adding it to your time in Phuket. You'll be VERY happy with this decision if you do it. I'm sure anyone else who has been to both would tell you the same.

Not eating sushi in Japan would be a crime imo and yeah sure I wouldn't eat raw foods when in Nigeria or Kenya.... but I'm going to go out on a limb and say Japan is probably ok. Also yeah dude, buy a new car already... you can afford it I'm sure.
