A friend that works at a tire store called me yesterday when an elderly gentleman brought his G35 coupe in for some NASTY chrome wheels. I bought the 100-mile-old "leftovers" for $300!

I believe that to be a 60 Caddy Coupe de Ville. And a gorgeous one at that.

Spinout, lemme know if my skills are still intact.

Nope, that is a 63 Coupe deVille. Bought it for $1500 from an 80-year-old man in my neighborhood that has about ten of them in his back yard. The other nine are rustbuckets that will probably never drive again, but this one is straight, good glass, good chrome and runs like a champ! Needs paint and upholestry. Just bolted the 18" AMerican Racing Nooz on last week.

Check out the NEW ride I bought yesterday... this is my daily driver. Was astounded to realize that my old 350Z wheels bolted right on! Also was astounded that the Previa was RWD -- always thought it was FWD! Found out on the way home from the dealership. haha.

Hehe... the house is not NEARLY done... just looks good on the outside. The inside is almost all just bare framing.

It is my dad's house... he has been building it for six years now by himself, literally. I built the garage and my 800sf "penthouse" over it.

On one hand it is embarrassing to say I am 28 and I live over my dad's garage... but I have vaulted ceilings, gourmet stainless-steel kitchen and a theater room. No rent. !!

Thanks guys.... I was down at SEMA and ordered a set of the new JIC seats. The car goes into the paint shop this week for a JDM Silvia front end and a new color.

Yeah, I am going to put a subtle lip spoiler on ala-BMW M5. Just wasn't feeling the stock spoiler so I sold it to a guy with a coupe.

Yours looks pretty clean!

Spin....You have to get a pic of the spoiler you spoke of....I've never seen one.....it sounds interesting.....and ya mine really clean....I've been asked numerous times if it's new....the only thing giving away the fact that it's not....lol, a divit in the front bumper from a square port of a hitch on an obviously much slower viehicle...lol. I do want to have it totally repainted, white of course...so it shines....with irridescent lavender ghost flames, and Misty written across the corner of the hood in chrome cursive lettering....and ya....nice house....you can sleep right over your nissan.....score....
