What line?

I've heard 7s are flammable... something with the fuel lines, I forget exactly.

I was driving a couple of days ago and got behind a classic ricer accord. It's body panels looked like cottage cheese, typical fart can exhaust, unpainted body kit huge wing, you name it, classic rice. But what made this car particularly funny was the lisence plates that read "MAD TYTE" I laughed my *** off for like five minutes.

The rotary would be perfect for off road, since it has soooo much low end torque... not

Yeah It just went into the shop monday. They found a donor back half of an RX8, they're going to chop off the back off of mine and the donor RX8, and I get the donor RX8's rear end. And he said he'll debadge the whole car for free since it's undergoing such surgery. He quoted me 2 weeks, (body shop translation = 4 weeks)

And yes I have posted these before, Farfen asked me about my door ding lol

You definitely need to make a trailer out of one of them at least.

Well that would be nice, except I won't be getting the differentials and all of that good stuff. Just the body and all of the good stuff
