What Andrews up to...
Well I've been pretty busy lately.
I got my project car running. No one probably has heard of my project car. Its a 1988 Toyota Celica Turbo Alltrac. In order for Toyota (or other manufactures) to race a car in the World Rally Cup they used to have to release a certain amount to the public. Like 5000-10000 world wide. The US got like 1500-2500 of them. So they are rare and high performance cars. It also happens to be one of 79 IMSA editions (which was basically a trim level, but still). Because I liked the car so much and it was so unique I bought it for: hopes of restoring it for preservation's sake, to learn about working on cars, and to have a cool, fun to drive, capable car. It was not running for a year and I slowly got enough work done on it between work and school to get it running this summer. Its running great now and I'm also learning to drive a manual on it.
This is an old pic, from right after I bought it, but only thing I've changed is I've cleaned it extensively
Other stuff:
Um, September 1st was my B-day. No one noticed, not like I'm really shocked, I'm not an incredibly well known active forum member. Went to the Mariners game over at Safeco Field in Seattle, Its a really nice stadium, I never realized. We won too, was a good game even though baseball is pretty boring. The best part was this guy near home plate we could hear from way up in the stands. He was shouting "FIIGGGGGGGGGIINNNNNNNNSS" every time some guy on the angels was at bat named Figgins.
More stuff:
Over the last few weeks I've been developing a map for the game Counter Strike: Source.
Heres a few pics of the WIP. Its almost done these are from an older version with bad lighting and less detail than I have now... the latest version is on my friends comp a few miles away so I can't take new pics unfortunately:
Um more stuff?:
I'm going on a fishing trip with two of my buddies tomorrow up in Puget Sound near Anacortes. Hopefully will catch some nice Salmon. Looks like the weather's gonna suck though :\ o well were bringing our computers.
I can't believe I didn't sign up for classes ><
Oh also I got a raise a few weeks ago :]
bhua I also got my 360 back after months! my gamertag is InsanePretender if anyone wants to add. Its so fun playing on my big TV (Zyk hands off)
Yes its 4am no I don't have a reason for being up.

My friends and I all just bought RC Jet Boats were going to run in the rivers around here. Its going to be cool ><. We already drove a normal RC boat in the river and it was really fun.
