Motors 4 Toys

kenchi's garage, hard parking yet again. brian and i showed up to this years motors 4 toys show in woodland hills. it's like a cars and coffee meet, but bigger. the car show was free to enter but they do ask that you bring an unwrapped gift which were collected to be given to needy children. for rich fools, they had a lapd motorcade for you to haul ass down to toysrus to buy 50$ in toys to be put in the toy drive. i brought a toy so i did not partake in the motorcade.

the lot was filled mostly with ferrari, lotus, porsche, and classic american cars. there was a row of ae86 i parked next to. brian and i were the only mr-s there, and there was 1 aw11. by far the dopest car there was a light blue austin healey sprite. the owner runs weber carburetors and original drums were replaced with disk brakes on all 4 corners.

in the bike department, a carbon fiber framed gsxr stole the show. the fuel tank was integrated within the carbon exoskeleton which also covered up most of the mechanics and acted as the seat. the weight lost extracted from the original chassis was approximately 150lbs. the engine was bored to 1300cc has seen speeds of 210mph limited by gearing. it was one of the craziest bikes i had seen.

attending this event made me feel joyed that i was able to give a child something to look forward to this christmas. my donation was a keyboard piano. one which i also had as a child. you can record for a minute and play back what you played. know what, i might go buy another one just for myself. :p
