I have LEDs in the garage.
In regards to having migraines and stuff while working: -lights could be too bright or you need to stop looking directly into the light/ get a diffuser -improper airflow/ventilation/ not wearing a proper respirator for the work you are doing ----are you soldering and not evacuating the gases? ----stop smoking ----when welding, certain metals give off gases -cleanliness -family members nagging you for stuff? -do your eyeglasses/safety glasses have a shit ton of scratches on them? I have only really had headaches in the garage from that one time I removed my gas tank (1/4 full) and when I was wire wheeling off the undercoating. The only other times were when I would get interrupted by dumbass neighbors who are retired/have no kids and are like "Hey, whatcha doing?" |

The issue I have with having a shop that isn't within spitting distance of my house is scheduling. When you have a family and competing priorities, to plan out when you will have time for a lower tier priority (working on cars), you end up with some odd ball times
Also, when I come up with oddball ideas to stuff a random engine into a chassis that simple wasn't made to fit it, I would like to luxury of running downstairs @ 11:47 PM on a Tuesday night to try it out. If I have to hall my ass out of the house, when it's 36 F outside to try some insane idea that may or may not work, would easily drive me to selling it all and moving on to another more easily accessible hobby. |

I'm guessing it's the fluorescents. I'm extremely blue light sensitive, even wearing blue light blocking glasses, I still get migraines. Got one right now from driving 6 hours in bright sun...with sunglasses and a 20% window tint. Shit sucks.

Our ceilings are so tall that the lights have to drop a solid 10' before the light becomes as bright as I'd like. I too want to go LED but before investing, the plan was to check all the other local shops to see what they use. Unfortunately, they're all using the NATGRID objective to switch over and I cannot as I'm not a shop open for public business. Bummer.

"The track is very small and technical, so bringing a pro car on big tires will work against you." I love it. There is no reason FD should be the ONLY "pro-level" representation of drifting. Esp since they continue to just follow the "more is more" train. |

I think I've mentioned this before, but if you have IG and constantly repost the same cars from the same shops, you're fucking annoying man.
I know these cars are nice, but I follow YOU to see YOUR car and shit. Like once in a while is fine and all but more often than not it's just some dude reposting a line-up of e-famous cars. I'm sick of watching y'all tug each other off. I have to unfollow people with cars I like because i just can't stand the shit. Also, fucking tired of people worshiping Sammit. He's got a Japanese wife and is basically a live-in child that never left the nest. Tell me more about how he's influential, please.

Why would someone post someone else's shit on their IG unless they were like... actively there with them at an event or something? That's some real dick rider shit.

repost pages are trash. esp the ones who start up "streetwear" brands at the same time, but create no original content.

LZ is making money because plebs like you click his shit to watch what outlandish shit he's doing with his money that day. He's literally spending the money he's making off of you in every video. I am jealous that I didn't do some stupid shit like that. Y'all are dumb as fuck.

I'm in closer proximity to Sammit shit since he's in Yokohama. LZ is a fucking turd, too. Why people want to watch some stupid rich kid build cars when money is no object is beyond me. You either have YouTube channels with dudes building cars on shitty low budgets or someone with a dumb amount of disposable income. I don't want to see haggard pieces of shit built. I don't find it interesting to watch a millionaire spend their money. I'm SUPER disappointed Sammit and LZ got in bed with Yashio. I know it's free advertising for him but it's so fucking cringe to see. Quote:
DUDE. You're giving them fucking views! My buddies and I constantly wonder why 'car people' on social media can't just be 'normal' about their cars. If they're dudes, they're trying to replicate the Golden Era or start a new wave, if they're girls there's always an equal amount of posts with them in Yoga pants facing away from the camera. I'd love to start a channel one day about periodic maintenance/upgrades to my cars and just be fucking n o r m a l about it.

LOL yeah it sounds bad when you read it.
I'd just like to be a 'solution' instead of angrily bitching about the state of things.

i've been watching papadakis racing channel lately. if anyone deserves the youtube fame, it's stephen (not that he needs it). really good at teaching and explaining and doing shit THE RIGHT WAY, which is very refreshing. 99% of the youtube car dweebs bring nothing to the table and do shit that LITERALLY anyone could do with an ounce of effort and a teaspoon of inspiration.

I think what's even worse is TJ Hunt and that THROTTLE fuck boy group. Building EXTREMELY stupid shit, smashing it into a wall and then being like, no worries. I have all this disposable income - I'll just go get a Ferrari. ROFLCOPTER.
Y'all are sheep. They're like the new MONSTER sticker all those fucking vaping douchers had on everything which later turned into HOONIGAN which later turned into TJ/LZ. |
