91-97 Mazda Efini MS-9/929/1st gen Sentia (HD5S)

The last gen 929 (at least in America). I wouldn't mind this generation and I've seen a couple in the Junkyards as of late... solid body, probably engine issues. These are FR and the last of the big Mazda sedans to have a RWD format (in America). The motor was a V6 with either the 2.5 or 3.0. I dont know why these never caught on in America, but I always dug them. Unlike the previous Luce/929, there was never a rotary option. In Japan, there were 2 versions. The Efini MS-9 and Mazda Sentia, like many others, slight differences. In US, it was the Mazda 929. In Canada, it was the Serenia. It was limited in sales there as well. Wow... looks too interesting!

87-92 Toyota Corolla wagon all-trac (AE95 and AE95g) / 2nd gen Sprinter Carib

In 2001, I was checking out an local SCCA autocross event in Olympia WA. I met an older guy who had a Corolla Wagon all-trac. That talk impacted me big time. I will forever look at corolla wagons different. Just like many, I didn't know they came in AWD mode. Plus this guy made his car for rally. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This version of the corolla Wagon falls under the 6th gen Corolla or AE90's. AE92s were very abundant in America (sedan and coupe), but I feel that all-trac wagons were somewhat rare as you don't see them often. The AE95 and AE95G are both wagons, the latter being only sold in Japan, have some differences. The AW-1 was the only one that had fender mirrors. Obviously, people want this! Japan always give their cars better versions of headlights. Additionally, the CARIB (outside of the US) version has that spoiler on top! I loved the fact it had a rear ceiling

3x in Japan in 2017

May/August/September/October 2017 -Trips to Japan What I didn't expect was to travel to Japan 2 additional times in 2017. I'll explain below but it became another symbolic meaning for 31. Below are the 3 times I went to Japan in 2017. 3 times in 1 year - "31 " Wandering Leopard - May 2017 Wandering Leopard and cub - August 2017 Wandering Leopard saga continues - September/October 2017 Additionally, If I include October 2016 as of this writing (in October 2017), it is actually 4 times within a year . The Saga of the Wandering Leopard I can be an extremist at times. When I get motivated, I can be overly dedicated to that topic or object, especially if I feel it serves or can represent something of significance. Sometimes I do these things ambiguously (self serving and for the bigger picture/greater good). October 2016 was the first time I went to Japan with the sole purpose of meeting the Leopard community.
