I loved it up there, I love everything about the Pacific North West and now I want to return extremely bad. I was chased out because things wasn&#8217;t communicated at all, when I questioned things I would not get an answer and it came to a point I was held against my own will over a website I&#8217;ve made for a friend out of love.   <\/p>\n<p>Currently I own a home in Vegas, instead of renting, I have placed myself into an investment home and I am looking for a job to relocate to when I do make the move. Problem I currently have is my struggle with work, I also struggle of the location thanks for the Oct 1st of 2017 I am deathly afraid to go to work because I work off the strip but I do so everyday. <\/p>\n<p>I have no immediate ties here in Vegas, I can technically leave at any moment for the right deal. I was born and raised in this town, my heart is not in this town at all, I am interested in anywhere in the pacific northwest so we will see how things will turn out. <\/p>\n<\/div>\nPosted in: <span class=\"post-to-page-categories\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/category\/g\/\">G<\/a><\/span><span class=\"post-to-page-categories\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/category\/g\/working-work-sucks\/\">Work Rants<\/a><\/span><span class=\"post-to-page-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/return-to-oregon-i-wish-and-website-migration-is-coming\/\"><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"post-to-page-readmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/return-to-oregon-i-wish-and-website-migration-is-coming\/\">Read more...<\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"post-to-page-comment-count\">0 comments<\/span>\n<hr class=\"post-to-page-separator\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"post-to-page-title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/fairlady-silvia-is-feeling-stronger-than-before-and-the-end\/\">Fairlady Silvia is feeling stronger than before... and the end.<\/a><\/h2>\n<span class=\"post-to-page-date\">2018-03-16 19:14:52<\/span>\n<span class=\"post-to-page-author\">kallador<\/span>\n<div class=\"post-to-page-content\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tougesw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2018-01-21-12.05.11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"152\"> The project Fairlady silvia I was able to make a redemption return this opener of 2018 at Vegas Drift,<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"W7aSJdLD5F\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tougesw.com\/vegasdrift-2018-opener-01-21-my-redemption\/\">VegasDrift 2018 Opener &#8211; 01-21 &#8211; My Redemption<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;VegasDrift 2018 Opener &#8211; 01-21 &#8211; My Redemption&#8221; &#8212; TougeSW.com\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tougesw.com\/vegasdrift-2018-opener-01-21-my-redemption\/embed\/#?secret=YSyjYjjDvw#?secret=W7aSJdLD5F\" data-secret=\"W7aSJdLD5F\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\nPosted in: <span class=\"post-to-page-categories\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/category\/fairlady-silvia\/\">fairlady-silvia<\/a><\/span><span class=\"post-to-page-categories\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/category\/g\/\">G<\/a><\/span><span class=\"post-to-page-categories\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/category\/g\/drift-drifting\/\">Initial G<\/a><\/span><span class=\"post-to-page-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/fairlady-silvia-is-feeling-stronger-than-before-and-the-end\/\"><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"post-to-page-readmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/fairlady-silvia-is-feeling-stronger-than-before-and-the-end\/\">Read more...<\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"post-to-page-comment-count\">0 comments<\/span>\n<hr class=\"post-to-page-separator\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"post-to-page-title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/moving-forward\/\">Moving forward..<\/a><\/h2>\n<span class=\"post-to-page-date\">2018-01-18 17:27:44<\/span>\n<span class=\"post-to-page-author\">kallador<\/span>\n<div class=\"post-to-page-content\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/13924625867_3a5a852d68_h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1948\" src=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/13924625867_3a5a852d68_h-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/a> I have recently turned in my plates due to a mess up with DMV, so I am a bit in limbo if I am driving this weekend or not, I might actually drive to the track but if I do it will be most likely G riding it somehow or if I can figure out the issue with DMV. if I end up going I might just slide some at the wet track. <\/p>\n<p>\nMy new plans is now in effect as the VG30S project was only temp until I found a better option for seek of more power.
