The Harrier is my brother's who runs a separate division in furniture laminates business. The BMW is my parents'.
you and your bro are driven young men. props for you guys.

besides the pimp identity, as business owner yourself, do you often find urself waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the bottom line? Or are you a sound sleeper.

LOL, on a thoughtless fancy buy yesterday, I went ahead and installed 2 Recaro seats on my civic hatchback. My dad has been complaining that the stock seats are so unsupportive. Well, you can't get any more support than these..... Coilovers, anthracite jdm wheels, titanium exhaust and some intake are next....




On a completely unrelated post, here's a routine pic of my basement. Can you imagine the hell we go through just to get the cars out every morning to go to work?

Funny thing is that all the cars here are modified in some form or other.....nothing is left to stock and chance! There's another car there, but it was outside in the front yard getting washed.....

Recaro seats are the cream of the crop for holding you in place during the twisties. They are some of the best auto seats available for cornering........but you better NOT have an oversized butt. They generally don't fit large, heavy people well...they are too narrow, although some of the more expensive ones have adjustable bolsters that do help some..

I remember back in college I could sleep right through the day after a night of hard-binging. 15 hours of straight sleep. Now, in my more sane older days, I find myself going to bed by 11, and waking up by 7 am at the latest. There's not much to worry about, work wise. But you see, even though I don't think about work, the stress is already there subconsciously, and that's affecting my sleep.

Yeah...it's like a big joke here on CL. Everytime I post some new mod I did to the car, the thread usually turns into a whole new discussion about my basement..... the mod usually takes a backseat! Hehehe....
