As a random french, moving to North America, I wanted something ‘murican... So I got a Mustang. The one that could fit my student budget, a good ol’ cheap SN95! After a few years of good and loyal services, it ended up getting hit by a guy who didn’t see his red light. It wasn’t a good car... But it was my Mustang. I have access to so many awesome cars now, but the one I really miss, is my Mustang :)
It served me so well, all year, any type of weather condition... Haaaaa do I miss it.
I brought my girlfriend-now-wife at the track in it once... That ended up being the only time she came with me though :(
At least I have a video of it!

yes, you have access to MUCH better cars now. The sn95 was... in my opinion... not a good Mustang...

I loved it though... It was bad, but I was trying to push its sloppy ass as much as I could and it was tremendous fun! I’ve kept that philosophy today though... I don’t touch the cars I get, no modifying or anything other than tires... I leave my cars as is and try to do my best with what I have... If they are tuner cars already prepped and already almost perfect, great, but I won’t try to make it “better” than it already is :)

I was going to ask where you were when you had that mustang, but those street photos scream Montreal.
So this was before the vette.

No wheel center caps for extra weight savings! :O
Also, NEW THEORY - Flavien is only in Japan after a series of unfortunate Cars and Coffee-exiting incidents and had to flee the country to escape persecution! His JDM export service is just a cover up....I bet his real name isn’t even Flavien....*narrows eyes suspiciously* :P

Yes, I replaced it with the Corvette when it got destroyed :(
PS: I’m French though, not Canadian French lol. I lived in Montreal for over 8 years though...

No wheel caps for el-cheapo wheel quick swap lol... I was so cheap and broke at the time that I kept the “good tires” for street driving haha.
And my murderous past is none of your problem. Be careful.

Haha! :D
Kudos on decreasing your broke-ness factor....that’s something I still need to work on if I can find a job >_>
I imagine exporting is not an easy job, but it would be a pretty damn awesome job, I would like to think...? :]

I don’t make a fortune, I was actually making more the first two years I spent in Japan, working home in my underwear lol... Now I make less, I’m still in my underwear at home most of the time, but fuck is it fun when I put pants on now haha.
I really like my “work” :)

Nothing wrong with that! I would truly rather enjoy my job and make enough to get by than make a fortune doing something I hated :)
Glad you’re enjoying yourself friend! Just make sure you put on pants if ever one of us Oppos comes to visit :P

i remembered you are the baguette holding cigarette smoking french, not the lumberjack maple syrup drinking french. And in your videos I hear the bordel de merde accent and not osti de calisse de tabarnak accent.

Montreal is really a hipster’s paradise... Like all the other french, being myself anything but original, I was living in the Plateau and holy shit, those guys would out-snob me! A french! Fuck, I’m the know-it-all! Who the hell do those greasy hair weak looking lumberjack wannabe think they are?? That’s when I decided to move to Japan...
It’s bad, really bad...
