This is not your usual car blog. These are the words of a desperate man. I’ve tried to get in line and be a good little worker bee, but I get nervy when things get too normcore. I can’t just be one of those guys who is “up for an adventure” but never actually does the thing. I need to know that I can take the path less traveled. And the only way to really know is to get out and do it. So that’s what this is — in more ways than one.
First, this is me finally attempting to commit to writing on a somewhat regular basis. I have thoughts. I have ideas. I don’t know why I feel compelled to share them, but here we are. Maybe we can delve into the psychological reasons behind this compulsion as we get to know me more through this process.
Second, I am launching a car media brand… Jesus, that sounds fucking contrived, but it’s true. I actually think there might be some other weirdos out there who might enjoy some of the shit I have to share. I’ll be writing here; posting videos in the usual spots; trying to keep up on the ‘gram; and maybe hawking some merch, if the fates align.
Third, I am doing all of the above in support of my ultimate goal (until the next ultimate goal) of driving my 2022 Subaru BRZ from Dallas, TX, to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, Canadia, on the Arctic goddamned Ocean. This is not a small endeavor. It will not be inexpensive, and because I am not a rich man, I’m going to do what all artists do. I’m going to whore myself out. I’m going to attempt to entertain and beguile you. And in return for your attention, I hope to gain the support of businesses who can help me reach my destination (and return).
There’s no turning back now. It’s time for an adventure.
