13 Hour of Road Trip, not there yet

I left Belasco around 5:30 am, reached Utah around 6:40 pm, you can imagine my brain was absolutely fried, plus the pain meds I was taking for my broken hand. I had to stop and rest at Juniper Grove.

But I haven't reached my destination yet! Now it's only a straight shot to Colorado after I have properly rested. I'll pass by Moab to check it out, too.

meta: in case you're wondering why isn't there enough footage of "Nevada", it's because I couldn't find any proper map and the only one I knew was very bad and kept crashing my game, apologies for the long video and the audio glitching out midway through, no clue what happened

To those who are wondering...

nope, I did not lose my job, I'm still working despite the broken hand (by my own choice, don't torch the company) because that doesn't really stop me from driving. I just can't install any major cables for internet.

my boss wasn't entirely mad because insurance will pay for it, so yeah, and it wasn't my fault too.

ironically enough, this is my last week before my paid leave, so I have packed my bags to go visit my grandparents in Colorado. It's a whole day worth of driving, I might stop by in Utah or whatever before continuing.

Dad picked me up from the hospital

to begin this one stating that I'm fine. I only had a broken hand, a bunch of scratches and glass taken off from my skin, and a concussion. Doctor advised me to not drive for the next 48 hours

I spent the rest of the night at the hospital but was discharged because it was nothing serious and I'm glad I was lucky to not have died or broken a lot of bones

I got no response regarding the Pessima guy or the black D-Series that picked the guy up

My boss wants to talk to me tomorrow, let's hope for the best but maybe I'm not in too much trouble as I imagined, now that I've been told.

I should've worn brown pants today

thanks to the wonderful driver of the black Pessima

I crashed my work van, I might face being fired for the equipment being damaged even with dashcam proof and you know what's best? People said a black van came over and picked the guy in the Pessima and drove off. Unbelievable.

I'm fine though, nothing major, just have a broken hand and minor scratches.

Out here fishing with hb during lunch hours

me and my hb, Emilio, out here fishing at the port during our lunch time because we have free will.

and yes, we're used the pimped out Gavril Scout that was never changed back to its original wheels.

Gavril built them so tough that they're still seen in common traffic 29 years after production ceased

the Grand Marshal is truly an unkillable car

second picture features a Burnside Windsor which is built on the same platform as the Grand Marshal and has the same toughness.

Well folks, Belasco finally did it

We had these double deckers buses for like what? A week? Yeah, someone already managed to flip over a bus with STABILIZERS mind you, in other words, they should be pretty hard to flip.

Moral of the story: take the normal ones, not the double deckers.

Sorry for the bad picture too, I couldn't get closer.

Old photos of my dad's Wendover he used to have

I found old photos of my dad's old Wendover.

He had had originally bought the car, semi-used in 1996, it was a 1994 year SE sports model.

He owned the car until 2012. It was a pretty damn good and comfortable car.

did I just witness a Vertex taking flight?

I thought it was a gimmick car, I didn't know it would actually fly

Barstow update

I haven't really driven this a lot because I've been postponing taking this car to a mechanic, until I was financially fine enough.

But today, I finally decided to drop my Barstow in good hands and let the boys at Smash take a look it at, because who knows what happened to my car while it in the hands of thieves.

But from the short drive from my house to Smash (literally going down the street), I didn't notice a lot of odd noises, at least.

new wheels for the Legran

once again shoutout to Torres for installing the tires on these wheels I bought not long ago.

I'm also keeping the old wheels for winter, so I can just switch over to them instead.

I was out back taking the trash to bring it to the front, then I saw this strange black Pessima parked in front of my neighbors' house who unfortunately are missing, I have never seen this car nor I know anyone from their family who owns this car. They effortless opened the EtK's trunk, as if they had the key, and transferred two duffelbags from the trunk to the Pessima.

y'all at BCPD might wanna check this car out.
