Everyone has their kinks. Mine is a bit unusual, and to be honest, if I was rich enough I'd invite cute babes to come out my special room. That room would be filled with 3 Wheeled trucks from around the world.  Pictured above is the Bremach MB1, a combination of combinations. Originally Aeronautica Macchi, a war plane and oddly scooter manufacturer as well. The company changed hands a few times. During this process someone decided to make a truck out of scooter and plane parts. Thus the MB1 was born. If you're...

This algebra of social scenarios is a way to add things up and turn fantasies into realities. I had wanted a drift car ever since returning to Canada. Racing chariots are now my safety blanket, my teddy bear to sleep well at night, fending away the midnight monsters under the bed,...

This pomme de terre came to me recently. I'm trying to do something with it. I'm not bright. Let's just keep count here. I believe this is #24. I've now owned, 24 corollas. I wouldn't consider this much of a Corolla, but it technically counts, since I write my own rules.
