Here are my photos from Canepa Cars and Coffee this morning! Man, I'm wiped even after a 1 hour nap lol. Woke up around 5:30am today @_@ Fun seeing @PMok and @overlookedx there as well!

There were some super super super awesome cars there, like two McLaren P1 GTR (almost positive that was the model). Also Giorgio Moroder's own personal prototype Cizeta Moroder V16T was there.

Plus more than I can describe, so...

The Supra wins in my book out of all the cars in the pics. I don't care for exotics and the like.

Clearly you have never driven a Ferrari!

I'm sure it'll be fun, but Lambos, Ferraris, and other exotics don't excite me anymore like they used to back when I was a little boy. hahaha.

I like that Supra, (old) NSX, Cappuccino, and even that RS200 more than the Vipers, etc.

Installed a backup camera in the Yaris. Took a gamble with a 12 or so dollar backup camera. LOL. Frame material feels cheap, seems like the camera was mounted upside down, cables felt good, positive and negative wires were way too thin, and the grid lines don't make any sense (at least for a Yaris).



But it works. I'll finish the install next week or so as I have to manually turn on the camera when I put it in reverse. It's a simple step. I just gotta connect the reverse lead on the HU to a certain wire in the cabin fuse box. I was just exhausted from hiking in Muir Woods earlier.

I may even order another one to use for a front camera. lol

The RS was my very first car with a back up camera. I don't know why I've never thought of installing one of my cars before. I'm never going back lol

Muir woods is beautiful, always try to stop there for a mini stretch/hike when driving hwy 1+ panoramic hwy.

This will be the first car I've owned with a BU cam, but used one everyday when I worked at Toyota. haha

It was my second time at Muir woods. The first time, we stayed on the boardwalk trail. This time, we went off to one of the side trails...yeah, didn't really enjoy that. hahaha

Whenever I get a rental car with a backup cam it takes me about a week to actually start relying on it. Then I get home and instinctively look to where the screen would be even though the FR-S and my wife's car don't have backup cameras.


The Challenger I just had sure could have used one. Damn that thing was a nice highway cruiser though.

Seems like all the muscle cars have poor rear and side visibility for some reason.

I went on one of the side trails once. Got lost and thought I was gonna die out there. Luckily I found my way back after a couple of hours of Man vs Wild. lol

The Challenger isn't bad visibility wise other than blindspots from the C-pillar. But the thing is absolutely huge compared to the FR-S.

LMAO. Just keep going is my thinking since it'll have to end somewhere.
