And Even More Shit Goes Wrong

wow, it was cooler out last night and i had the teg out. she was running better than ever, hitting a full 6psi in the cool night air. for the 1st time, the speed was really starting to make me giddy. so today its nice out again (during the day) an my girlfriend met me at work on my lunch hour at about 5pm. so we laft to go eat and i wanted to show her how great the car was running in the cooler air. so we take it out on route 9 (nice and staight 3 lane each way quasi-highway) for a little burn before i have to go back to work. i see a guy in an EK with a turbo GSR in it, so im ------- with him a little bit, but we both know who is faster, so i turn around to go back to work. well, about a half mile from work, i do a little 4th gear pull to like 4500 rpm and the hood smashes into the windsheild. i guess my hood pins werent in (i dont remember if i put em back in or not)so the hood flew up and shattered the windsheild. so now i need a new hood and windsheild. this is all 3 days after i put the new tranny in my car cause the last one blew itself apart. nothing seems to go right lately. im selling the car. its a shame too. ive just recantly put so much work into it, and now im gonna let it go. but i think im gonna pick up a certain phantom grey hatch, so we will see. and if anyone is interested in the car, PM me. it will have a brand new hood and windsheild at the time of sale, its not gonna be one of those "as is" type of deals. wish me luck, because it seems that i have none.
