The lesson here is: buy the stockist car possible. 

This is why I actively avoid modified cars. I modify cars; I drive them hard…and it’s likely the owners of modified cars do as well. 

Let’s break down the numerous red flags on this Edgar Charriot

* Crackle tune video: Well…that engine has led a hard life, followed up by
* Engine swap: I’m not against having a swapped engine, but who knows how many miles the 
rest of the car has, and how hard they were.
* New head gasket: Wait….is that a new head gasket on the replacement engine? Yiiiikes. An at-home mechanic can do a head gasket…but I wouldn’t trust this guy’s work

Infiniti G35 - The Edgar Chariot

The lesson here is: buy the stockist car possible. 

This is why I actively avoid modified cars. I modify cars; I drive them hard…and it’s likely the owners of modified cars do as well. 

Let’s break down the numerous red flags on this Edgar Charriot

* Crackle tune video: Well…that engine has led a hard life, followed up by
* Engine swap: I’m not against having a swapped engine, but who knows how many miles the 
rest of the car has, and how hard they were.
* New head gasket: Wait….is that a new head gasket on the replacement engine? Yiiiikes. An at-home mechanic can do a head gasket…but I wouldn’t trust this guy’s work
* Misspelling: Mega Racing….Single Exist exhaust. 
* Welded diff: for a dedicated track/drift car, that’s a cheap way to lock up the wheels. But it’s not needed for delivering Domino’s

Cons:  yes, all the above weren’t in the con section..so I guess they are pros?
* Needs lower control arms. Great, so this was probably a takeover car, and smacked a few curbs
* Oil change- as in it need an oil change? You can throw that parts list on this poor G35…but can’t do an oil change.
* Is the power steering broken, leaking…gross?

All this for $4000…. Need to say more on how much of a pile this is???

I love the interior of the 1990 Mazda Miata. Nice simple buttons and k***s. No screens, easy to read and classic guages. No pretense of ‘luxury,’ just simple and practical.

I have no clue who these guys are

But these card holders are perfect for my Tooned Garage decals

My parents wanted me to get into sports…..and I was into cars. 

Going against authority figures in your life can be hard. They are ‘always’ right, yeah?

Maturity is realizing that, despite their best intentions, sometimes they are wrong about you.

Oh yeah, my decals. I create them. No AI used. Starting a creative company during a dumpster fire is going to be a ride….follow Dane Schwaebe

Look at that happy car eating up the slalom. The first-gen Miatas, honestly any Miatas, are a blast in autocross, since it’s more of an 8/7 go-kart.

Considering this came out in 1990, the styling for the Mazda Miata was a solid decade ahead. No hard lines, no 80’s-centric digital readouts. These must have looked like space-age beans on the road when new

This is who I am. In the later part of my 30’s, I’ve gone back to my artistic and automotive roots.

I created Tooned Garage with a simple premise: car fun for everyone.

What’s fun about bogus AI created decals? Human made, printed and designed in the USA.

Quality. Details. Passion. That’s Tooned Garage.
