Loves of my life

Awe October of 2006, one the best days of my life, I finally got my S14, I had worked everyday for about 6 months to get it and finally got it. The picture above was taken on the day
I got it, a 1996 240sx, this boys dream car at the time. Pristine with only 86,000 miles on it. I didn't even care that it was automatic because I just wanted to drive it. The day I got my license I drove home and dropped my books off and when out driving for 6 hours. I found an unlocked storage complex and nearly burnt off my rear tires determined to learn how to drift.






After that day my 2 year long relationship took off and this poor car faced the brunt of my stupidity time and time again. But it helped my learn a lot. I still wish to this day that I would've had that car later in life because it was perfect and i destroyed, but such is life.





After parting out my S14 out of mere stupidity that I still regret =(, I got flash in March of '08. I was in desperate need of a car after wrecking my 14 and barley had any money. So I found this 1993 red 180sx that I named flash. When I found her she had thrown a rod threw the block, so I took the motor out of my 14 and drop-
ped it in with the help of a friend. I then drove her 1600 miles to FL a week later to visit all summer, Congo, Brice, I went out to revisit the spots we used to wreak havoc on in the S14. I then drove back to KC. Flash is still going strong and is the local Kansas Yeah! truck when we don't have one. She makes a good time for the snow rally me and the local guys fooled around with past winter. She's my faithful little daily beater and an awesome car at that.

Wow. Where do I start with this car ha. The Grey Goose, known as GG is probably the car I loved and miss the most. I only owned her from December of '08 to July of '09 when I wrecked her really bad on our local touge with Julian. This was the first 5 speed car I'd had and within two months of owning here i had her slammed on coils(another first), along with a new clutch, and a viscous diff(first one as well). This car was all sorts of firsts for me, and I still love her to death! I gained so much knowledge for the 6 months I
drove this car. So many memories made and fun times, god i miss this car ha. Brice and Congo came up from FL to hang out and see Kansas City and I just got the car going the day they got here. We broke the clutch in the first 500 miles the day they were here. Then proceeded to put some dings in it as Brice took some crazy awesome photos for me.

We'll I suppose that's about it for tonight, I've been up for hours trying to figure out these blog features and it's way past
my bed time so goodnight to all.

"THE" HOES



I grew up with Brice, Congo, and Josh in West Palm Beach but then I had to move junior year of high school. All three of us were crazy about our cars or the ones we were going to get and hung out everyday shooting each other, wrecking go karts, and other stuff you wish you could have done. Probably the coolest whores ever.

After leaving WPB, I moved to the Kansas City area where I met some more rad dudes, Bryan, Derek, Dave, James, Josh, Jimmy, and Julien. I was unaware the Kansas even had a drift scene back in 2007, but that was because we didn't start having events here until June of '08.
I met Bryan, Derek, Dave, and James in September of '08 when I set up a little get



together. After that night I annoyed the crap out of Bryan and Derek for the next 6 months until I decided to stop asking so many questions =). Bryan and Derek started the drift scene here from scratch and have watched friends come and go while they have stuck to it. They started the local drift forum called kcda and also have a blog for their drift team called the metcalf coyotes.



In 2009 we all started hanging out and running events and such. We were really excited for the '09 season because Heartland Park had given us 5 events for that year. I graduated from high school on May 8th, the day of our first event,(which also happens to be Bryan's b-day, WOOT!) and was pretty excited to start the season. Throughout the season we met some really cool guys Josh, Julian, and Jimmy(tripple J attack), who are now helping us run events for this years drift season. My life has been surrounded by cool dudes that like the same stuff i do, so I'd say life is pretty awesome(though a little extra $ would be nice)

Hi all. For those of you that don't know, my name is Michael Hunter(also known as "that guy") and, this is me. I have been known to breathe fire, own tornadoes at destroying bushes, play god with insects by restoring their lives, and rip cemented ladders out of concrete. However when I am not being a super badass and fucking stuff up I'm working to drift and drifting to live(yes I just used an uber cheezy ricer line =). This blog is about exactly that, my life and drifting stuff, it will be a way for you all to keep up to date on the not so productive at times, life of Michael Hunter. So enjoy.
