^agreed.

playdoh43 09-04-2007 08:21 PM

is your daughter an auto enthusiast? if yes then Great buy :), if not then stop wasting money and buy something for your self instead :p

Nemesis8 09-04-2007 09:52 PM

Yep, she is going with me to Cascade :rolleyes:

Illmatic 09-04-2007 10:24 PM

Awesome purchase! I'm sure she's pumped!

UFGator12 09-04-2007 10:27 PM

Very nice. Yeah, I was going to ask that though. My mom and sister can't even drive a manual, so I assumed your daughter must be an exception to the rule that chicks don't like cars and all that stuff that goes with them. Sounds like a cool girl. How old is she?

ivory8 09-04-2007 11:12 PM

now that uve mentioned a female on this board...u must post up a picture of her for us 18 and below users. its a rule...dont break the trend...or itll cost ya ;)

SayNoToPistons 09-04-2007 11:26 PM

Whoa, how old is she? Did she ever see yoru avatar?

Nemesis8 09-04-2007 11:57 PM

She is 20 and single guys, and if you marry her, then I don't have to support here anymore! :rolleyes:

YaXMaNGTO 09-05-2007 12:08 AM

tajabaho1 09-05-2007 12:13 AM

^ Wow, that's a blast from the past. That's for all the comments, well except for one.

The car is Indianapolis, and will get shipped to the wonderful state of Washington this week. Just have to make sure the carrier can handle a lowered car. It's front lip is sitting at 4.5" :Eyecrazy:

You know BigO had his 8 shiped from TX to the 808 state and he had the MS front with MS springs.

If not I'm fairly close to Indy and I'll driver it out there for her :cool:

I've always wanted a rich father-in-law.

Nemesis8 09-05-2007 09:58 AM

LOL - when you get as old as me, you have a little extra money saved up. Marilyn Van Derbur was Miss America when I entered the World. :Eyecrazy:

Besides, I only have the one daughter, and this makes me happy. Plus, part of the deal is that I get to drive the car once a month. :)
