I have eaten my words

Alright, so I have a few denim head friends that are always telling me how much BETTER their denim is compared to my 50 dollar Levi No.511 jeans. They tell me about these little journeys they go through in order to get the fade they want from their jeans. My friends will go a year without washing their jeans once. Pretty nasty right?

Well. I told them all about how I was against it for the longest time. On last Sunday however, I had to eat my own words. I tried on a pair, and I was like wow these feel nice. THEY'RE STIFF AS FUCK. I feel like I have cardboard around my legs and it feels nice.

The story behind this is that my room mate Dennis had bought these jeans online and they were just too slim for him. They are VERY skinny mind you, but I'm a little slimmer than he is so they fit me better. He was going to return them and just save himself the trouble, but then he told me to try them on before he sent them back. So I did, thinking very carefully about what I was doing. They fit and, according to Dennis, I'll fit them perfectly once they've stretched out a little bit.

They're a size 29 waist (yeah I know) and a 34 length. Since Sunday (6/21/09) I've been wearing them frequently and they have stretched out around my waist a little and have started forming some nice stacks.






Stay tuned...

Fuddrucker Fridays!

So it's been FOREVER since I've updated this spot. A lot of things have happened, and damn are they intense. Jeremy and I lost our jobs. The QQ is strong with this one. That hasn't stopped us from accomplishing our dreams. We're both trying to become employed again so we can "pimp ze auto"...s.

Dom hosted another Fuddrucker Fridays meet and it was really chill. There weren't any HXC ricers that showed up (fuck you SRT4 guy), there were no verbal assaults, and no physical discrepancies that came from the meet. Even the police rolled by a few times but they never stopped or second guessed the gathering. That's what permission does for you! Ha!

Here are a few sample pictures. More can be found on my Flickr account.

Zoom Zoom!

Yup, it's on.

It's gonna happen today

Waking up in like four hours to go to my cousin's pad and start wrenching on the exhaust. Hopefully we don't hit any snags and everything goes smoothly!

I want this to be done as fast as possible. I suspect we'll probably end up taking the whole day but who knows, if things go well I could be done early!

Exhuast Update

Exhaust should be on in T minus one week. I requested the day off and I got it off! Talked to my cousin, and we are go go go. Should be on by the afternoon or night and I will be posting pictures when it is done. I'm pretty stoked!

Spoke too soon

Just when I said Keith hadn't thought of anything for his car, he texts me telling me with what's going down. Aiya! I spoke too soon.

He's looking for a better side of sideskirts to help the Wings West front lip look better, along with looking into a rear window visor, and possibly some new foglights, and wheels! So intense.

Keith's CG gets an A+ from me.

Gas. Break. DIP!

Awwwwwwwww snap! What's new with Spunkyfresh? A few things to be honest with you. JerBEAR finally got his car back after some well deserved and needed R&R. JerBEAR got some new axles (Innovative baby!), some new tie rods, ASR subframe + rear swaybar, Falken Azenis, and just got his car aligned. Let me be the first to say, that the combination with his motor mounts makes his car feel like a completely new car. I noticed a huge difference. The car looks amazing. And if that wasn't enough, he (and myself) picked up some new HIDs! The ones we got before started turning weird colors and were flickering a lot... No bueno.

Keith got his new lip running, and is just keeping his car clean. I haven't heard about any new plans for him but knowing Keith, he'll keep things Spunkyfresh and change shit up sooner or later. He's innovative and experimental.

So what about me? I've got some plans too. Right now I'm in the process of fabbing up my own custom exhaust (yes FABBING IT UP!).

So far I've got an A'pexi Flex pipe, about 58" of 60mm piping, a 60mm two bolt flange, a Trust 60mm two bolt gasket, hangers, and a truck exhaust tip (2.5" inlet/4" outlet, 22" in length). This shit will be legit, no mufflers, and all with flanges. No more ghetto exhaust weld jobs.

Picture time!





















And here are the HIDs





I'm thinking it should be on in a couple weeks. Keep your eyes (or your ears) peeled for my exhaust, it's teh_sex. I won't be putting my HIDs in until I get a new set of headlights. Seeing that my current headlights are turning green, along with not fitting quite correctly, I think a new set is in order. I'll be putting OEM headlights in (blackhoused) for the best fitment and for the highest quality. No more "eBay Special" headlights going on.

In other news, I'm going to try and get a Spunkyfresh T-shirt made (purple and teal) and if they come out well, I'll get a few more. Stay tuned.

Keep it Spunkyfresh. Always fresh. No preservatives.
