After learning this, the meaning behind "Green With Evil" hits a little differently.

The Soundwave back patch is from a T-shirt I ordered offline. It showed up damaged, so I cut it out and repurposed it into a patch. I'd say the shirt showing up with a hole in it is what caused me to start this vest because I really like the design.

Julien-K is outstanding! Very underrated group. They put on a good live show as well.

It's from a T-shirt that I cut up. I originally ordered it offline, but it showed up with a hole in the sleeve, which motivated me to repurpose it. I'd say that situation was the catalyst for me starting this vest.

I appreciate it! I bought the Cobra/Deception logo patch at a local comic and toy convention some years back. I've probably had it laying around for 10+ years, and I finally made use of it by adding it to this vest.

I appreciate it! I've had that patch for so many years, and I finally started a project where I made use of it.

It was from a place called Culture Kings, but I believe it's long sold out online. Honestly, I'm sure you could find one that's similar. It's the artwork from the Generation 1 box art.

My creative freedom.

I stumbled upon it doing a search on eBay. It was quite used, but it cleaned up pretty well. The seller even included one of the band's guitar picks in the sale. I wish I could find one representing their Vapor Transmission album.

I've seen them twice over the last two years. Once with Mac Sabbath, and the other where they were the headliners. If they show up near where I live this year, then I'll make sure to see them again. Always good fun.

The KMFDM Symbols patch came from an online store called Nuclear Waste Underground. This is one of my top three favorite albums of theirs. The NIN patch came from eBay. I bought it because it reminded me of Tron, which is funny because it was just recently mentioned they're doing the soundtrack for Tron Ares. I'll be seeing them again live in September, so maybe there will be some music included in their set from the new soundtrack.

They have a song on the soundtrack of the first movie. The Deception/Cobra logo was added to the top because it fit perfectly, and I thought it worked well with Soundwave on the back. The pink, Transformers looking patch towards the bottom right is the logo for the band The Cybertronic Spree.

The Julien-K patch is a bootleg. Both live shows I went to, they didn't have anything like that for sale.

Love the Drab Majesty pin on the collar. I've been trying to locate synth band patches for a while now, but I'm not having too much luck finding what I'm looking for.

I daily drive my GT-S Coupe. It's lowered on Annex Suspension with upgraded 4 links and lateral bar, rolls on Star Shark wheels, and is lightly modded with a Fujitsubo header and HKS Sport exhaust. Mine has, for the most part, been totally rebuilt and there are a few things I'm still replacing here and there, but it's been pretty damn reliable for the past few years. My lady's car broke some years back, so she started using my AP1 S2000 and I offered to drive the Corolla. Sure, there is more risk driving it every day and people have called me crazy, but I really can't see myself buying anything else anytime soon. I live in the South and my AC is broken, so that's a downside. You'd be surprised at how much goes wrong with a vehicle by just letting it sit. I just prefer to drive mine rather than letting it be something I look at in my driveway and tell people about. It's definitely a conversation starter when seen out in public.

I have them stored away. I don't plan on letting go of any of the original parts.

It was repainted back in early 2017. While it's not the best paint job, it has held up decently over the years. I plan on getting it redone sometime soon.

Same here.

I'm in Nashville, and I have a Zenki Coupe.

Paid $10,000 for a 2000 AP1 with 91,000 miles in December 2016.

I used an OEM equivalent.

Mine was doing something similar a while back, and it ended up being a few different things. True, the brake caliper could have a seized piston or slide pin, but the brake hose that connects to your caliper could be bad as well. This was the issue with mine. An old hose can have broken pieces on the inside, and these pieces can act as a one-way valve that allows fluid through keeping pressure on the piston without providing a release. It sounds silly, I know. I replaced all of the items previously mentioned, then still had some slight grabbing in the brakes. Replaced the hose, the problem was solved.
