Corona Ballin’ 2: Return of the X1

So continuing the theme of chump hood from the other day. Y’al still chumpin in Corollas, when Coronas are the new cool.

Ugly Bear lives in the Forest

There once was an ugly bear. He lived in the Forest.  He had a much loved brother, who to some was much nicer looking. However, something something jokes continues, more comparison, hilarious wit, COROLLAZZZZ.

Corona Ballin’

Y’all chumps still be rollin’ Corollas. Crest of the Sun.

I realized today at work, that there is a rude flaw with the expected visualization of the future of transportation. Many visuals and descriptions of future transportation, space flight, depict the freedom we have now with the automobile except travelling between worlds rather than cities. I am not to say this is not possible, but perhaps further away than expected. My Girlfriend, an avid science fiction reader often dreams aloud of these visuals, the new human and their different daily lives then ours.  I’ve come across a problem with the idealistic expectation of traveling at free will in 3 dimensions. Changing direction takes up quite a lot of energy, our current vehicles use a dramatic amount of resources to create these movement changes, I struggle to imagine the results of adding a 3rd dimension of controlled movement. With strong difficulties in creating batteries and alternative power sources to that of a liquid fuel, vehicles are great consumers.  Space travel is becoming ever so realistic, though it most likely will need to be a commercial success before it becomes a personal freedom. The difficulty of moving people and resources to other planets, is the loss of resources on ours. The volume of oil, fuel, on our planet does not increase, it only decreases. As we travel outside our planet, we are spending resources from our planet that will not return to it. Fuel burnt off outside of the planet is gone forever, as with any metals or other resources taken. This poses a problem, as commercial success increases, hopefully it will bring new resources to replace the old, however, often in place of spent resources is the idea of resource, money. The alternative, or more viable in a sense of time, urgency into space, will be manned, but non-self-propulsion capsules. Whether using the rotation of the earth to literally throw the capsule, or a strange type of magnetic rail gun, these capsules will float on a projected path with hopes of an accurate trajectory. Fuel concern increases with time, as although time in many cases equals money, in these case, it equals population. The populous of earth will be much greater than it is now, consuming fuel at a greater rate than now.

2012, doing more for less than ever before

This year I want to go bigger: Bigger than before. I’ve done some wild and silly stuff, through shear enthusiasm people have followed me to the brink. I’ve been trying to shy away from this trend, but I realize it’s my natural calling: Doing fun things for as near free as possible. It’s time to accept my natural talent as a purpose and run with it. Let’s Go 2012.

#1 on the list? Teach my self solidworks. I’ve been wanting to learn for years now. When idea hit me it’s so nice to be able to whip them up into a visual frenzy, both to check if my dimensional dreams are physically possible, and to have a nice proof of concept. I’ve been playing for a few days and today, in a 20 minute session I managed to accomplish 2 very long term and put off goals:

-Create something of my own design in solidworks, has been a goal of mine for 5? or more years now. I tried learning it a long time ago when I was much younger and gave up. No longer

-The day I moved to Victoria I wrote a note and taped it to a wall “Knuckle/RCA combo”. It sat there for about a year until I got mad at my lack of progress and scrapped the paper. 2 years now and I finally ‘penned’ it out. A universal Toyota shortened knuckle RCA combo. It fits multiple toyotas, is shorter than stock knuckles, corrects the lower control arm angle and reduces ackerman all in one single piece. Fits left and right as well!  I’m excited. Time to get it whipped out for some prototypes

#2, Speed hero hats should be on the way soon. I’ll be posting more about a preorder shortly.

2012, Year of the Alternative Drift Chassis.

Look, I called E7 Corollas last year, they blew up. Not sure if it was me, but I was just noticing a trend is all. This year the tides have rolled back in with some fresh info: 2012 will be the year of the alternative drift chassis. Corollas, S chassis, hell even Miatas are all played out. Not just on a style basis, but rather a financial basis.

The Beginnings of something renewed.

Working hard, slaving away making someone else’s dream a reality is a constant reminder I have my own. I like cars, just a whole heck of a lot. Stashing cash like a squirrel with nuts, hogging away washing cars like a kid saving for summer camp, I managed to scrape enough together to buy a Lexus.  A big boat of a car, 1UZFE powered SC400, it was a hope of an upgrade in social status. The plans? To build a ‘Big Corolla’.
