Time to attack – I have pride in my work, but this is no living.

Posted by Alex.Sev3n on

So recently I’ve come to thinking that while I love my job, it’s just not going to cut it. This is no way to live, and I’m ready to get my toys. So I’ve cooked up a scheme, I’ll have to save up some money, probably by flipping my state allowed 4 per year, and putting the profits into a vehicles manufacturers license.

It would only cost me a little over 500 for the license  and they don’t require a bond or anything, if you only deal in cars and trucks. Why hadn’t I thought of that sooner? Maybe if I can afford it, I can upgrade to a lot, that would allow me the adventure I crave, Just selling cars during the day.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate car salesmen. My idea is to buy cars, basically on craigslist, fix em up better than new, maybe dress or tune a few up, and sell them still cheep. Why shouldn’t it be win win? I have pride in my work, but this is no living.

Locale: Type One – Honda Tuning Flagship

Type1

 

I make it a point to visit Spoon and Type One each time I go to Japan; actually, this is about the 4th or 5th post on NDF about visiting the shop!  It’s such a staple in the Honda tuning community that it’s impossible for me to pass up.  Not to mention I’m getting pretty good at getting there.  This time though, was a bit different though…

 

Type2

 

…this time would be my first seeing the shop in it’s new form.  Late 2012, Type One undertook a pretty big makeover aesthetically, and I’ve been wanting to see it in person ever since.

 

Type3

 

If you remember last time I visited, you’ll see a big change in their second floor shop space.

 

Type4

 

Gone are the shelves lined with racing memorabilia, and in it’s place; a minimalistic display of Honda valve covers.

 

Type5

 

As well…
