1987 Isuzu Impulse RS Turbo Special Edition

1987 Isuzu Impulse RS Turbo Special Edition

Just took possession yesterday.

I bought the car from the original owner.  It's a 99% original, garage kept, Arizona
car.  A fine addition to my little Isuzu fleet.

The Isuzu Impulse was conceived by the famous Italian auto designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro,
the same genius behind the DeLorean DMC-12 and the 1974 VW Scirocco.  The 1st generation
Impulse is now an extremely rare car, rarer than my Isuzu Vehi-CROSS, so finding one in
this condition was a true stroke of luck I think.  Or maybe I'm just kidding myself because I like
it so much.  Either way, here it is!

Camping near the Ruby Mountains

I took a couple days off at the end of the week so Tom and I could
go check out the Ruby Mountains area in Eastern Nevada. 

Camping With Tom & Scott

So, after Tom & Scott arrived, we went camping in the hills behind our
neighborhood.  We had a good time wheeling around and exploring
and getting lost (because I forgot my GPS).  Tom & Scott brought the
PPV Jeep to test out in the rocky NV terrain. (most photos by  )

Awesome picture of Me and Linda and my Mom...

This is from our early days...must be mid 90s...cool.

How To Make Okonomiyaki

After our trip to LA where we gorged on Japanese food (especially Okonomiyaki) we decided
to try to make it at home.  So we went to our local Asian supermarket (which isn't the best, but
it isn't all that bad either) to get some of the essential ingredients.

1) The Stuff

Silver Forked Toungues

Sunday we went west along 50 to Silver Fork Road to look for zonata. No
luck with the zonies, but we did see four snakes.  Two gophers and two
rattlesnakes.  I found the first gopher and then Beej found all three sub-
sequent serpents.  This is the first snake of the day.  It bit my brother
which was pretty damn funny.  The gopher snakes up in this area were
actually a lot more colorful than most of the gophers I have seen.
