hope we are all our own bosses - Page 7 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My boss is 85 and sits right behind me 5 feet away. He's an old school do-it-by-hand engineer, and I'm the new age 3D drafting industrial designer. Our brains work a little different than most I guess. We screw around shooting the shit, looking up new exciting machines, and goofing off until a burst of inspiration/motivation hits... Then it's work like hell with no regard for time, food, talk, breathing, etc.. My boss is awesome, and I hope to be as cool as him someday.

You were driving like you had some tofu to be delivered. LOLOL.

The on ramp from Nevada/Hamilton is a fun one too! Let's try to get some other twins and go for a drive soon. I added you to the Club 86 on FB so I'll coordinate something on there.

Hehe I wish.. I am hoping to get my winter tires off this week so that I can actually go driving again. The snow tires really neuter the 86..

But yea I would love to get together to go for a drive. Newman lake sure was fun last time. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a post

I'm hard at work right now. One of my employees was just talking to me. Going back to slacking now aka normal "management" tasks.

First four seasons are on Hulu.com for free with dub or subtitle, you canucks should have access to that I think...

And yes, it most certainly is a thing in Canada as you guys have a healthy amount of RHD Corolla's that are imported due to your less restrictive laws solely because it is the hero car in the Anime. If it wasn't for this show that Corolla would be $2k+ cheaper than current going rates closer to AW11 MR2's or MK2 Supra's (both arguably much better sports cars).

Also incredibly surprised this hasn't been posted on here:

Hmm so the last cartoons you watched were 2 decades after Astro Boy and Speed Racer! Sounds like you were too young and missed the Anime fad to me!

Nope the reverse! Didn't get them here when I was a kid and they were new and then when they resurfaced I was to old to bother! He Man and Gi Joe were from when my kids were little and I was forced to watch hours of that drivel!

This show is way better than F&F imo, if you dont have the patience for watch 5 seassons
you can watch the movie Initial D Legend. Its basically a resumen of 1st seasson.

2much · 03-02-2015, 08:24 PM

It is cheesy but the Initial D movie is worth watching too

And it's on youtube: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY7v3pqtSaE"]Initial D live action movie 2005 ENG DUB - YouTube[/ame]
