Mimi and I took a trip back to Texas and it made me realize how much I miss family, friends and… my cars. Being immersed in tinkering for the next track day or meet is a void left unfilled in Japan. Since I typically hate being a spectator, viewing from the sidelines at events like TAS was not enough. Fortunately, back in Houston, I had a ton of seat time in the S2000.

Shortly after arriving from Tokyo, I met up with the MaydayGarage ricers at Rice Box. Thanks to Danh for the pic. Jetlag must have gotten the best of me.

Met up with some good friends, old and new, for some karting action at K1 Speed.

The bike rack came out to help combat my gluttonous ways (Texas food portions are huge!). The hidden hitch is still one of my favorite custom modifications to date.

Hangin out with my cousin Victor and the FRS/BRZ crew.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t really a chance to take the 993 out of storage for a spin.
