Have your wife or buddy drive the smart car to the track.

I could but that kind of sucks especially if I go to events hundreds of miles away. My 4 wheeler is more than enough to push my car around at the track, it fits in my trailer and it's fun to play with off road.

A Smart car is cool because it's a car and I can take it on the road but when I'm at events I'm not cruising around places or leaving the track. My buddy has a Smart car that he uses at events to push his car around if need be but once he is done the Smart car sits in his trailer at home because honestly when you are not at the track why not just use your regular vehicles.

If you have the space for it, it's cool to get.

These bad boys finally came in. They were on sale, $200 dollars off on Jegs website and because I had to wait 2 months they gave me another $100 off on top.

Thanks man, the ramps for sure are nice because my car just makes it over the lift but my Lexus I had to use pieces of wood. So these are a nice edition to have in the garage for sure.

Ramps make it so much easier. How you like that lift? I bought one off the MAC truck a few years ago. Works well but PITA to move. Literally tore the mount off the front trying to move it too often

I love it, it makes life at home so much easier when pulling motors and working on cars.

its not really bad moving around the garage if I need to but for the most part I don’t have to move it.

So I’ve mentioned before my brother does custom builds and a lot of custom motorcycle paint jobs, airbrushing etc. he’s been wanting to go to Blair’s School of Realism to continue learning and he finally got the chance to go this week. Since he’s working on my valve cover thought I would show the project they have them working on. They are there for a week and everything you see is his airbrushing skill.

This is day one and day two, I will update as he makes progress.

For his customers they normally want dark evil airbrush work. Some just want like Harley Logos and stuff like that but I am not sure what he is going to do on my valve cover LOL.

This was a bike he did not long ago that had a lot of airbrush work, this is the kind of stuff a lot of customers want for their bikes.

It’s pretty crazy, my brother has been a custom builder and painter for a long time and has every certification you can get but all his airbrush work was self taught.

This was actually the first class he ever took!
