Blood Sucking Maniacs Are Loose!

I scanned these from the Toyota Factory Service Manual with the intent that our pediatric patients would have fun coloring some vintage Japanese SUV. Now, you can do the same. What color will your FJ-62 be?

The Ultimate Grocery Getter: Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

I wouldn't call myself a modern Cadillac guy, but they've snared me with the ridiculously fast CTS-V. I've always been a fan of wagons. My last car was a Subaru Legacy GT wagon, and I miss her dearly. I currently have a Toyota FJ-62, and while it's clearly a truck in wagon form, it's got those boxy lines that I love. Now, I adore the Land Cruiser, but it was not made for speed. I've made that painfully clear to all those who have been behind me up a hill. The CTS-V, on the other hand, produces a sub 4-second 0-60 time... off the showroom floor. It ain't green; it loves gas, but this mean machine is a supercar, wait, no... a superwagon. It ain't exactly cheap, but it'll blow away the competition for a helluva lot less than you might expect. Just ask the owner of any Ferrari California:

... so let's just pretend that I've been posting a ton. Fortunately, I have been keeping positively busy with stats courses, full-time employment, meet-ups (see pic) & (ad)ventures with friends and family. Speaking of projects, I've been pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with the friendly and talented folks at Square Magazine. I've been primarily tackling the musical side of things by scouring the internet for top quality mixes, and then sharing them with the masses. I'll be offering up some of my own in the near future. Go check out the offerings thus far if your iTunes library needs a little refreshing. Labels: music, square, transportation
So many things have been distractingly busy as of late. Sometimes its necessary for me to get out to clear my mind, body & soul. Nature works best.
Unrelated... I've been digging this track quite a bit. Don't go making any kind of conclusions from the track's title. Things haven't been that heavy.

From wiki:
The fixed-roof MGB GT was introduced in October 1965 and production continued until 1980, although export to the US ceased in 1974. The MGB GT sported a Pininfarina-designed hatchback body. The new configuration was a 2+2 design with a right-angled rear bench seat and more luggage space than in the roadster. Relatively few components differed, although the MGB GT did receive different suspension springs and anti-roll bars and a different windscreen which was more easily and inexpensively serviceable. Early prototypes such as the MGB Berlinette produced by the Belgian coach builder Jacques Coune utilized a raised windscreen in order to accommodate the fastback.
Acceleration of the GT was slightly slower than that of the roadster due to its increased weight, though handling improved due to significantly increased chassis rigidity and perhaps slightly better weight distribution. Top speed improved by 5 mph (8 km/h) to 105 mph (170 km/h) due to better aerodynamics. Labels: art, design, transportation
