Friends, gather around. You may have noticed that I'm yoked to the bone, with muscles bursting at every seam. I've been working out like crazy, blasting each of my lats and all of my delts. I've also been chugging gasoline and motor oil. And last week I spent like a full day greasing up all my favorite white tank tops, and learning car terms like "drive shaft" and "double-clutch" and "tire."
As you may have already guessed, the time has come for my wife and me to watch all seven Fast and the Furious movies, then go see Fate of the Furious in theaters, then presumably become a pair of car wizards like the muscly folks depicted in the films. The address of this blog is "Motomancy", a term I'll try to employ when someone does something with a car that is pure sorcery, which I expect to be regularly.
I get the impression the Fast and the Furious franchise has become a bit of a punchline around the internet, but I occasionally come across a friend or acquaintance who genuinely, non-ironically loves them. As much as this project is a bit of a goof, I'm also excited for the experience, and I think it's going to be a lot of fun.
Things I'm looking forward to:
- All the bro-times
- All the car-fu (carate?) and car wizardry
- Very fast cars driving fast
- Drifting (obvs)
Things I'm nervous about:
- They seem possibly crazy sexist?
- Am I cool enough to point my eyes at these movies?
- Did you know that there is a "right" way to watch them? The Fast and the Furious franchise has an official timeline, and I've changed my mind this is a great thing that I'm looking forward to.
So keep an eye on this space for hot updates, and join me on this crazy ride (pun definitely intended).
