    No update to give, sadly. :( Friend got some motorcycles, so he's been busy having fun. It's giving me an excuse to try and get better at driving an underpowered car.

            I will try for you. <3. I'm thinking about going turbo just so I can get it together a little easier. Driving an 8.5:1 NA M42 is fucking exciting, though.

            I don't have any skill with a camera :(. But here are a few shots other people have taken of my car at events recently!

              I had a dodge cross over the double yellow into my lane, I got over as far as I could and hit all of the pine needles that were ON the road, and the car violently went sideways. A guardrail assisted my correction. :(

                        To be honest, that may be salvageable right there...
                        A shop has written me an estimate to pull and reshape the rear of my car, which has kinda similar damage to yours.

                              It's repairable, there's no question about that -- I just don't want the car to hold a salvage title, and my insurance company doesn't value it enough to repair it with a clean title. Sorry to hear about your peugeot, bud. :\

                              I apologize for never getting to do de boosted tandems with you, my friend. :(

                              small update: got the first offer from state farm today. $7800 with an $1800 buy back on the vehicle, leaving me at 6k with my car back. I declined, I know that's undervaluing the car.

                                I would have gone with that and called it a day.
