2001 Ford Mustang GT

After two months of driving a beater in order to get good at driving stick and better at driving in general, I’ve moved on to a significantly better car — a 2001 Ford Mustang GT. I picked it up last Saturday night and it has a 260 horsepower V8 with a 5 speed stick shift. It is amazingly fun to drive and is really quick (at least to me, heh).

More pictures can be found over in the thread I made on some forums I run.

Here’s some video I made using my GoPro. It looks like I’m going slower than I actually am due to the wide angle lens and because I have it mounted on the top of my windshield. 😉

Monster Tajima’s Amazing Sub-10 Minute Pikes Peak Hill Climb

Last Sunday, Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima absolutely hauled ass up Pikes Peak for the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. He was the first person to break the 10 minute time up the mountain.

Make sure to watch this video in HD and in fullscreen — it’s an amazing bit of driving.

PS: I am so getting one of those cameras once I get a better car. It’ll be fun to record roadtrips, etc.
