Who The Hell Are We?

Hi there! Welcome to our crappy little corner of the internet!

MisShift Into My Ass (MSIMA) was started one bored evening by Justin and I (Monty). We were out that summer on internships and had come back to our empty apartment after a long day of coding and wind tunnel shenanigans. We decided to do something with that spare time.

Allow us to introduce ourselves:

MONTY

Ah, Monty. The classic college kid with a 40 thousand dollar daily. However, he is more reasonable than he may seem. With the sense of humor like a 10 year old (along with the rest of us), he is the “brains” behind many of the “well written” and “informative” car reviews as MSIMA. Now doing aerodynamics for certain big-name companies he consistently attempts to undermine big aero with his crackhead ideas. Monty is a man of performance, always ready to beat the piss out of anything he can get his grubby little hands on until it explodes, which makes for very performance-oriented views instead of the corporate EPA this and MPG that car talk. The man himself really knows how to enjoy an automobile.
Current Cars:
– 2018 Subaru WRX STI
– 2000 BMW Z3 2.8
– Splitting a 2014 z28 with the old man on track
Past Cars:
– 2015 Subaru WRX
– That fucking NB Miata

JUSTIN

Like a crusty towel found in the corner of the bathroom upon running out of toilet paper, Justin is always a welcomed sight. Monty has unfortunately known him since high school, and has had to bear witness all of his wise decisions. Justin was known to talk to homeless people for sport, he speaks five languages but unfortunately four of them are made up, and when not trying to understand why his glue tastes like horse meat, the goblinoid himself roleplays as a mechanical engineering student, at a “prestigious” school in North Eastern Florida’s crack-den and “Home of Racing”, Daytona Beach. Justin is a true renaissance man, knowing both Catia v5 and Solidworks, as well as being part of a band. Some say, when his hair blocks his vision, he uses his third eye to see. He currently runs a scooter racing league and rental program.

Current Cars:
– 2004 Ford Focus SVT (Euro Appearance Pack)

Past Cars:
– That fucking NB Miata

DANIEL “PINECONE” VERONA

Jack of no trades, master of one, being his peerless talent for forklift operation. Certified at an early age and raised in the Connecticut backwoods, this man is unpredictable and dangerous. Considered an enemy of the state in four countries, and often sighted brooding on rooftops with comically large blueprints in tow. “Mr. Verona has an accomplished past in journalism, and is one of our most influential writers. It’s like he knows the key to mass human happiness, and then systematically pushes for the exact opposite”, says a Representative from the Committee for Bitterness, Anguish, and Terribleness (CBAT). Is this man an industrial designer, or just an engineer that can’t do math? Is this even his real name, and does he have one? Nobody knows, nor what his plans are. But frankly, maybe it’s better that way.

Current Vehicles:
– 2003 Subaru Forester XS
– 2001 Murray minibike
– MTD Yard Man lawnmower
Past Vehicles:
– 2009 Honda Accord V6
– 2002 Lincoln LS
– Various other minibikes

The Skinwalker

Lurking in the decrepit crevices and college towns of Appalachia, our resident skinwalker is a specimen beyond scientific comprehension. While retired from urban exploration due to minor legal inconveiences, he (or it) still has an insatiable apetite for thrills. Only spotted at night, he drives an assortment of automotive abominations fitting for someone of his stature, on the prowl for small animals to eat. Some say he’s a mechanical engineering student with a crack addiction, others still think he died in a nuclear waste accident back in 2015. Whatever he, sorry, it is, it has an eclectic and odd taste in any forgotten vehicle on 4 wheels. If not at night, this creature can be found murdering cones on an autocross course or scaling abandoned cathedrals like a gremlin it is. Whatever the skinwalker is, make sure to watch your back because it might make a terrible financial decision without you even knowing, but is that really a bad thing?

Current Vehicles:
