LOL....haha everyone says that. Until you drive it you wouldn't understand ;D Although I know everytime I hop in it I know if i get in a serious accident I'm done.

It came off the road last Friday only because I couldn't afford to keep it on the road with insurance on two cars. I need my daily driver(altima) to get me to and from work than a rusted out crx.

The day before I went to DMV to take it off the road I'm waiting at a light in the crx in mid afternoon traffic on a main highway. I'm sitting there waiting for the light to change when I hear a loud screeching sound, look in the rearview and i see a car doing about 50mph about 100 feet behind me...i'm like oh ---- here we go I'm gonna get rearended, all i could do was pull up as close to the car in front of me as possible. So i pull up and i still hear the screeching sound and i look back and the car is coming at me sideways now. I'm waiting for impact and then nothing! I look back through all the smoke and see a 90 year old lady in an hyaundai excel with her hands all up in the air at me like I did something wrong! LOL...i was laughing but she was about 6 inches off my rear bumper according to the guy in the car next to me. So that was a close one. The car is off now but the drivetrain will be implanted in my new car that I posted up a few weeks back. I picked up an 87 hf already with a d16a1 in it and fully converted to fuel injection. ;D

This car will be full sleeper( no gauges visible, nothing) all you will be able to see is the FMIC and hear the greddy type S BOV.
When I do the swap I'll be sure to take a shitload of pics for all you mofo's.

Alright time to get shitty drunk at the parent's house for our lame ass christmas party.

Be safe all...last night some drunk guy in a saturn vue hit a pole and then another car right in front of my parent's house. He needed jaws of life to get him out. :-\

I rather spend my money on mods/upgrades. I spent $8 on primer. Thats enough bling for me. 8)

Yes I have seen his car and it's sexy, if you ever want it to have babies, I would gladly father her children. I like it the way it is, but if you really wanna paint it, I say repaint where it's white and leave all the lips/skirts black.

Fug it, just wax it and leave it as is.

And you have a denali too! :o HMT tow truck ;D

I say make it look like stock with normal wear and tear, just like any other car you would see on the road.
Anything nice looking or modded IMO is theftbait. >:(

Sad thing is, rice also attracts women :-\

hoopty actually wouldn't be bad if you had another car. I found a 91 Civic for $100, and if it'd be a major hoopty flat black turbo d15 if I could buy it.. of course it would be my secondary vehicle ;)
