SPEED HERO Blog — Quinn's Cars

Here's just some random stuff from lately. I managed to score a whore of a scooter. This started as someones mom's scooter, then their sons, then their friends, another friends, lent and returned from another friend, then spent some time in a storage unit. 1984 Honda Spree, in the Canadian only 'Vista Blue'.

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.
