I’m a sucker for white cars, I don’t think I’ll personally own anything other than white cars. This one is unique. The vents are almost too much, but I think the person/shop that built this executed well. The vents in the hood match well w/ the vents in the front bumper. The super slammed ride height and the HID fogs really set it off.
I LOVE Q45’s!
This fine machine belongs to my old buddy Rob. We’ve been friends for a few years now and he’s always been a driving force in pushing the limits of wheel fitment. He’s been doing it long before “hella flush” or “stanced” were well known and the new fad. His latest set of wheels are a custom set of Raderwerks wheels. I believe his car is the first Japanese fitment they’ve built, and aggressive is the word that comes to mind when you see how they flawlessly fit perfectly. Believe it or not, he daily drives it this low. And there’s no air suspension here…there’s not even adjustable coilovers. Yes folks, Rob is rolling on just a set of Tanabe lowering springs and Tokico shocks.
Enjoy the meshy goodNiSS…

As some of you may know, I’m big into online message forums. I post and reply to threads on cars, health, fitness, photography, and finances. Earlier this week, a topic was brought up about the progress of a guy named Patrick and his fitness goals. Patrick puts in lots of hard work in the gym and goes at least 4 times per week, yet he was not satisfied with certain parts of his body. Those specific parts of his body just weren’t responding to his training, and he had basically given up and said “Blame it on genetics” His statement stood out to me, as it does anytime somebody uses it, when describing frustrations in their fitness goals.
Did he really hit his genetic potential when trying to increase his arm size?
Was he at such an elite level of training that nothing else would stimulate muscle growth?
I had to interject and offer my opinion on what the problem was. The biggest problem in reaching his goals was staring at him in the mirror. No, not his body and its ability to grow muscle. It was his mindset. With all the hard work he was investing in the gym, he was not getting the desired results. He was at a loss, and it seemed as though nothing was working. Patrick resigned himself to claim his body just wasn’t genetically blueprinted to have 17″ arms. Sure he was putting in hard work, but I think he was putting in TOO MUCH work.
Another thing that gets me is when people say “My metabolism is just too high/low.”
Lots of people in performance sports hit a plateau, where their speed, size, or agility reach a point of little to no gains. Perform bicep curls for six weeks, and your body will respond with growth and strength gains. That is until your biceps adapt to those stresses. Once it’s reached that point, the body doesn’t feel a need to grow. This is where change needs to occur, be it a change in training or a change in mindset.
Self limiting beliefs can cripple your success in every facet of your life. You may not believe that beautiful women are willing to date you. You may not believe you can land that six figure income job. You may not believe you can run a marathon. If your mind sets boundaries on what you can or cannot do, then you will never push beyond those limits. In my own personal life, I tell myself “If one man can achieve it, so can I.” Sure I get lazy and make excuses sometimes on going to the gym. I tell myself some reason to justify why I don’t go. “Oh I’m too busy with stuff at home.” or “My body needs some extra rest, so I can hit it extra hard the next time I go.” So how can one break through self limiting beliefs?
- Recognize that self limiting beliefs are not logical. You may logically justify the belief, but you’re only fooling yourself.
- Realize that you’re not alone, and it’s okay that you have these thoughts. The psychology of humans has been studied to a point where these thought patterns are identifiable in large populations of people. Don’t think of yourself as a unique case and fall into denial about your limitations.
- Create a plan to change your thought pattern. What you consciously think about on a daily basis, will have a great influence on your actions. Flip your perspective to be opportunity minded instead of obstacle minded. Instead of “I can’t perform any pull ups, never have, never will” you can tell yourself “I currently struggle with performing pull ups, but I’m working towards overcoming that.”
- Recognize the consequences of your self limiting belief. If you’re unable to reach your goals, don’t let YOU be the determining factor. You are able to change and modify yourself with a simple thought, a choice you make in your mind of the available options. You limit yourself to not talking to women, and the consequences are living a lonely life. You tell yourself that you’ll never be out of debt, and the consequence is a lifetime of high risk, stress, and unhappiness.
- Identify and write down your own self limiting beliefs. This may take a lot of effort, so it may be a good idea to ask close friends or family what they think your self limiting beliefs are. People looking at you from the outside may be able to spot these limitations right away, just as I had in Patrick’s case.
Remember that having a high internal locus of control, will allow you to have better control of your behavior, attitude, and actions. You will be more likely to assume that your efforts will be successful. Let me know your thoughts on what your own self limiting beliefs are.
