Well, I'm crossing over... cover me
So, I found this car the other day...
And trust me, the more I stare at the glossy pages that house it's photos in one of my roder magazines, (warning, PDF popup) the more I get excited about it. It took me a good week of googling just to find the names of the guys who built it... THEN I just happened to go back to a rodder messageboard I found a few years back and found both of them on there. Weird small world indeed. Anyways, I sent over a few PM's to them both and it turns out that the guys who designed the car were old roomates in college. One guy paints, the other guy ages.
So after emailing back and forth with the both of them, I think we may be somewhat close to doing something together with Roxy. I don't want to give too many secrets away yet (or even jinx myself here) but if budget allows, I think this is going to be the fooking bees knees.
The reason why I wrote this entry was just to kind of comment on how rad it was that these guys were so willing and open to talk to a *shudders* foreign car driver. I mean, on paper, wouldn't you think if one of us dirty dub drivers tried to contact an american muscle guy or hot rodder for advice, we would be laughed out of the building right? Totally the opposite and I'm really kind of jazzed at how cool it is to be able to talk shop with enthusiasts of other car cultures. I won't get into the fact that Foose blew me off but I have a feeling he's a dork anyways.
I mean, how many times have you seen someone at a VW show attempt the "rat" look and wanted to punch them in the face for such a travesty. And don't get me started on the trend we all know and love as "rat stylez" on the vortex. God I would really love to sit these kids down and inform them that having a piece of shit car and calling it rat is disgraceful.
Anyways, going off on a rant here. All in all, I really look forward to seeing what can be done in the coming months. I have so many ideas that I think will finally finish Roxy off to be a respectable as well as ground-breaking car.
Stay tuned folks.
