SPEED HERO Blog — DQ Philosophy

Tug Life

Really on a kick lately to accomplish all the drawings I've intended to get from my skull onto a medium to share. Below is the Speed Hero Tug, an homage to utility in scooter form. I literally imagined a 40+ Japanese woman scooting around a coastal town with a small dog and a bag of oranges when drawing this. I'd drive the shit out of it myself. Larger versions of the photos are revealed when clicked.

SpeedHero Racing school: Our first and second semi-official track day!

Let's pickup where we left off...where were we....right! [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Digging around in the engine bay I found both of these. Jammed into the engine mounts. It looks like someone kept dropping and replacing their oil caps. lol I don't know how many years this car was carrying around 3 different oil caps.[/caption] Put a new distributor O-ring in today.
