October 10th late at night it was raining pretty darn bad, and was foggy as hell, when I came driving by that said lawn. The leaves in the road created a slip & slide, which led straight into a large boulder.
A similar incident happened to me about 8 years ago in Michigan causing me to go sideways over some railroad tracks totaling my LeBaron. It was on a road with a 45mph limit and when the cop arrived he was going to write me a ticket for too fast for conditions until I told him about the leaves. He went 50 yards to the top of the hill and ended up writing a ticket to the home owner for illegal disposal of yard waste. He then told me I could go after there insurance and I ended up getting almost $2300 for a new car. I don't know what the laws are in your area, but you might want to check into that.

What steering hub are you using by the way?Does it shut off your turn signals, and does your horn work?

Thanks guys. The hub is a s***ty ebay one which doesnt cancel the signals. I've been meaning to replace that. Skirts are OEM chuki. The front looks high in the photos in the yard because of uneven-ness. It will be lower when I get my new coils though. I shot the photos with my Nikon D80 and a few Vivitar off camera flashes shot through umbrellas. I used to rollerblade a lot but I've slowed down since then. Can't get myself to throw myself down stair rails and s*** anymore.

So it's been a slow winter so far, and I have been wrenching on other friends cars a whole lot more than my own. The car gets started once in a while, but only to tease the s*** out of myself, and make me despise mother nature more than ever.

A month or two ago I received some parts in the mail.





Those are teins by the way. A previous owner painted them miserably so i cleaned them up a bit I suppose.





Harness is tucked under the manifold now.





Much cooler than the NRG. Quick release is rad too.

Yeah f*** you mother nature.

I have some coilovers at UPS two towns over, and will be dropped off tomorrow. Whoot!

awesome car, man. nice pics, too.

side note...when you see a nice shot, it's not the camera that does it; it's the person behind it and their usage of lighting and composition (which you have done very well with). sorry, just a pet peeve i suppose.

Thanks. I recently sold the Xenon lip about a week ago to a dude in CT. Seems like it's in good hands. At least it will be put to use.

YES WRETCHED. So damn true.

On another note, new coilovers came in today! Made quick work and banged out the rears today, before I got cold and didn't feel like doing more. Fronts will go on tomorrow. I have photos which I may upload later on.

Made a nice purchase Monday, and installed said purchase that day. It took me a good 4 days between work and school to get this purchase adjusted to where I want them, but it is good now.

Car is finally on the road for the season so I decided to roll out and have my buddy shoot some photos because I am too lazy to pick up my camera.







Stoked. Very stoked.
