Today I took a Field Trip to the Portland International Auto Show and saw a McLaren 600LT, Rolls Royce Cullinen, Ferrari 612 Superfast, and a 911 Turbo S Cabrio and spent the whole show geeking out about a Mazda.

Lol! Not even remotely close yet. You need 100 subscribers to even get a named extension and average like 1000 minutes of view time per day to start getting ads. I've been grinding on this for 2.5 months and haven't made a penny yet. From what I've researched and other YouTubers I've talked to, all of the income comes from affiliate deals. I'm not big enough to attract any kind of outside sponsorship yet.

I started a new series, Garage Rehab, where I turn my rental garage into a functional one instead of a sty.

I spent the morning in the garage, so I did a timelapse of it per a viewer suggestion in episode 1.

Today's Miniatures Monday marks 10 weeks my channel has been going, so I did a special on displaying die-casts using my own SCCA Trans Am collection and my LeMans racers. You'll want to check this one out!

No, really, it is SNOWMAGEDDON...

It's time for a Project Porsche update. Snowmageddon threw a wrench into the plans causing the planned annual tech this weekend to get postponed so all of our plans have been altered.

Project Cobra is back! The sale fell through, so it was high time for an update. It's going to be my track car, so expect at least 1 TNiA and a couple of trips to the drag strip, because there's only so many times you can fart around cones in a parking lot before the serious need for speed starts kicking in...

Just in case the model car show didn't give you enough miniatures, it's Monday, so here's a video of the new M2 Transport with Skyline GT-R set.

It's a doozy today! I have a big multi-part Mazda 5 update. I'm having camber arm issues and had to do the 110K mile maintenance.
