Are you referring to my driving habits or my repair methods?


Seriously though, the only irresponsible thing that I have every done with this car was to let you drive it.

So, the jackass who I bought it from tried to take the headers when I went to pick the thing up. He gave up when he stripped the fuck out of one of the nuts. A little heat and an "easy-out" did the trick. Did I mention that he is a jackass?

what do you mean by "easy-Out"?

i did the same damn thing last night, and worked for an hour on 1 GD nut. serves me right i guess. cant get it off. sooo ya. please help lol

Easy Out may or may not be the right term. The tool that I used was essentially a socket which was "rifled" inside. As you loosen the nut (or try to) the socket digs in further.

Got clipped by the step on the back corner of a box truck. The guy cut me off in stopped traffic and had to straighten his truck out in the lane on account of there being a guardrail at the edge of it. Needless to say, he had a choice of clipping the guardrail with the front or me with the back. He chose me, so when he turned the back swung around and clipped me. Unfortunately for me he kept on driving. I was in a hurry so I didn't follow him.

I did, however, get the phone number of the company and the number of the truck so maybe I can sort it out with them. At the very least the driver should be getting an earful from his boss tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be paying for this one on my own.

On a positive note, he missed the hood and the new smileys by less than an inch.


From now on I'll just have to take pictures from her "good side".

Well, your car's sister just got smacked in the face. If you have any honor you will go and find the culprit in order to get some vigilante justice.

dude your car is pretty much mine's exact twin right now, less the suspension, which is next on my to-do list. that includes the dent in the fender, except mine's on the other side. weird, they're like twins, but i wonder which is the evil one. nice work, keep it up! DIY, ftw.
