First driving ticket this morning. 74 in a 55. I was almost late to work, and I needed to run to the gas station to grab a few things, so I was speeding. Cop was cool though and wrote me up for Impeding Traffic instead of speeding. $120 fine :/
First day I drove my new Supra, I tore around a corner, no slide, but accelerating a little quickly, probably half throttle. 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear, and then I let off and slotted into 5th gear. I stopped at the next stop light in the turn lane, and a sheriff was turning right, hauling ass back the way I had just come from. All with my Grandpa in the passenger seat next to me. :v:

so, I've been working at a garage for this whole week, and they had this BMW E30 out back. apparently v8 swapped, it's ready to drift I just need to make up an exhaust from manifold to the muffler. it's supposedly making about 300hp without any turbos or anything, and it has ECU ready to take twin turboing... best part, it's only 1600 dollars... time to go find 1600 dollars.

God fucking damn. Is it all rusted to shit? Frame wrecked and twisted?
I dunno about the rust, but it hasn't been drifted yet. [editline]18th August 2012[/editline] and to be honest, rust wont bother me much on a drift car.

[QUOTE=ice445;37296620]A Honda Prelude. edit looks like we got some haters in the thread[/QUOTE] haters? u srs? I like the prelude but for 5-15k USD? can get alot better.
Being the resident Honda guy and told I'm a hater wut A prelude for even 5k better be a nice fucking prelude, 5-15k is a lot of money. Way better choices. Anyways, I'm going to go try not to die since I've been sicker than a dog for the past two days. No matter what I do I feel like I'm melting.

And i think of you when i do it.
[QUOTE=ThermalArc;37298027]not a EGR but the heatercore valve[/QUOTE] Huh. I guess you're probably right, here's a better picture of it though.

i REALLY dont want to tear apart my rear brakes.. but this squeaking is driving my up a wall. I guess its time for new drums too. [editline]18th August 2012[/editline] if not that, its time for more grease

Found a badass cruising road while working, and it's only 50 minutes away from my house. It goes around several mountains and has the best views I've ever seen in this state, and I've lived here my entire life. Remembered the directions there in case I want to take a chick there :p

Sold our Camaro. Bought it for 3500 Put 1000 into parts Sold it for 5000 (bitch paid us in $20 bills) I'm happy with how it went. We bought it planning to keep it, put a bunch of money into it, sold it a month later, and actually made $500 off it (plus money saved in gas while using it instead of the diesel.) My mom's having severe back problems and we need money for medical bills, so we decided it was best to sell it. Only took 2 days from when I posted it until it was sold.

[editline]18th August 2012[/editline] Also since my summer is ending quick (less then two weeks now) I think its time that I realized that my summers are gone. I have never worked so long and hard before. With me working so hard, I have decided that I must play hard. And that I did. Constant nights out with the guys, and bi-monthly trips to the club. Did I enjoy it? eh. Not really. I dont like my job but love the money BUT I did enjoy the play
hey guys guys, my friend sent me a old picture he took of my car when I had a breakdown on one of our yearly ride with our local supra club.

[editline]18th August 2012[/editline] Bought new Oil pan drain bolt and gasket, bolt still leaks. :( and since I tried to change the oil pan drain bolt while it was still hot I couldn't get the bolt back in until it slowed down, It drained most of the oil I put in this morning. But I expected as much so I just bought another 5 qts of oil. :sigh: But on another note, it's pretty much stopped burning oil.
I don,t do oil change on a warm engine anymore. First time I did it on the supra, the engine was hot. I drain, put the bolt back, add oil, dipstick suck dick so I added too much, realise this and then my genius brain goes: I'll unbolt the drain plug a bit and drain it slowly to level. I forgot to open the filler cap (no air can enter so it's sort of "vacuum"), unscrew the drain a bit, nothing come out. unscrew, nothing. repeat. repeat. repeat; suddenly: BURNING OIL EVERYWHERE, DRAIN BOLT FALL IN THE PAN, I HAVE TO PLUG THE DRAIN HOLE WITH MY THUMB (it's burning) while searching for the bolt in the pan full of BURNING FUCKING OIL. fun time
[QUOTE=FordLord;37306294]Sold our Camaro. Bought it for 3500 Put 1000 into parts Sold it for 5000 (bitch paid us in $20 bills)[/QUOTE] woman bought it in $20 bills? I think its a woman thing, my mom raged when I got $2500 in 100's to buy my jeep, insisted that i should pay in 20's.
Anyone that gives 20's for anything more than a $300-400 purchase is a giant fucknut
Shoulda paid in dolla bills
I paid for my S14 in 20s
