“All great films, without exception, contain an important element of No Reason. And you know why? Because life itself is filled with No Reason… Ladies, gentlemen, the film you’re about to see today is an homage to the No Reason, that most powerful element of style.”

(in short, skip to bottom of post...or sit there and read the epic story because it's about to get real) On February 14th, in the year of 2003 a star lit the sky ablaze which came crashing down in front of me. The heavens rained down, in a glorious ball of fire, which was perfect because I was out of matches for my campfire which I really wanted because I love smores.
For starters, I don't even know why I was outside because it was like 20 below and I totally could have been inside watchin' a movie, but I digress...
That night, the heavens opened in front of me (that's two times this day!!) and there stood the archangel Tyrael who stepped out before me. AND HE SAID "Andrew, thou hastened the illest of the hellaflush guardians! I foresee your future with plenty of whispering eyes
and thou needeth the mightiest of steeds to reign supremacy across the land! So I said, DaFUUUUUUUUUUQ, He then said " Now, thou shalt bendith over for thou shalt feel what owning a Nissan truly feels like"...and on this day, I lost my v-card in the fiery flames of an archangle's lovin. Anyways...FASTFORWARD 8 Years...78,000miles, Injen CAI, Strut Tower Bar, Motegi MR7's with P245/45ZR17's, LED Bulbs (like 3) 1 transmission rebuild, new clutch, MAF sensor, IAT sensor, Knock Sensor, Who's There Sensor, 2 sets of tires, 5 brake jobs (including 5 calipers), e-brake lines, 4 ball joints, 2 tie rods, sway bar links, fart can, Radiator support, 2 sets of spark plugs, new tail light, and a check engine light in a palm tree. (many repairs...yay)...Oh my goodness, I almost forgot...lots of that lovely NY Weight Reduction...RUST!!!!!
One week in the month of December of 2011...on a Monday...I was put into a ditch by some dirt bag driver who stopped, looked, then left. Bent up my passenger front fender and chunked the front bumper which consequently blew a hole in my washer reservoir. Left the car home on Tuesday to repair damages. Wednesday night, coming home from work (same week now) some dude fell asleep and found my rear bumper...at 65-70mph...I WAS going about 25-30mph BEFORE he hit me. Smashed up my passenger rear fender and tail light. Honestly only heard a loud bang and noticed my RPMs were screaming as I was in 3rd gear (Car is a tank!). Drove the car home cuz all damage was aesthetic. Needless to say, a week later the car was deemed totaled...but I kept the car.
Now I know what you're all thinking (if you've actually read this far)...Why keep it? It's rusty and broken...
Three reasons...
1. Already paid off and ran alright
2. Needed winter car cuz Mazdaspeed3
3. Most importantly...Because Racecar.
Being that the car owes me NOTHING, I felt it was only right to spare its life and give back. She needed some body work and a new Radiator support among other things. Had some time this January and took care of the rad support...and started the StreetCred transformation.
ENJOI. I love you all...that have read this far.
