Henry Lubong’s Journal

This day calls for a toast. I just became an official Ducatisti today! I picked up my new Ducati 848 at Moto Italiano in Santa Cruz. My wife took a few hours off so she can drive me to the dealership and take my pictures as well . When we arrived in […]

Wohooo! I finally got my Ohlins Steering Damper for my kawi and installed it tonight. This is one of the most important upgrade on a bike if it doesn’t have one. Even if it does, you would want to upgrade it to Ohlins. They are the leader in motorcycle suspension technology and a respectable brand […]

Just got back from the auto show. Checkout some of the pictures I took from the event. I missed a couple of cars though. I forgot about the “Bumblebee” Camaro and the BMW M3 did not show up, what a flake! Anyway, enjoy the pictures from Flickr. Just click any of the pictures below or […]

Alright piston heads and all the car enthusiasts out there, it’s that time of year again to check the latest car models for 2008. As usual, the event is held in San Jose Convention Center. This year, I’m not just gonna take pictures and sit on the cars just for the hell of it. […]

It features all models of midsize trucks such as the Chevrolet Colorado, Dodge Dakot, GMC Canyon, Ford Ranger, Honda Ridgeline, Nissan Frontier, Toyota Tacoma and more. I created this site so people can have a one stop site if […]

Here is my new Frontier Nismo. Isn’t he gorgeous? Look at those muscular fenders, those big off road tires… vrooom… vroom… lol. Well, excuse the crappy picture quality, it was taken from my camera phone. This is just the beginning of lots of fun ahead of us

…at least on this Nissan Frontier that I saw on the dealership. So today, my wife and I went to the dealership to close the deal for the Frontier. The truck wasn’t there yet so I asked the manager to show me a similar truck in their lot. They only have two “white” Frontiers in […]

I’ve decided, the Frontier is the pickup truck that I’m gonna get this weekend. After reading a lot of reviews and discussions in various forums about this truck and reading comparison tests specially against Tacoma, this truck is the winner. It has the best bang for the buck. For almost $3000 less than a Tacoma, […]
