My 8 - RE-Branded :) 2014

From when I first bought my car i knew it was something i was gonna love for a long time to come but I also remember back when i first got it a "rotary enthusiast" told me I would never be able to do much with the car n' I should trade it in...

Fast forward almost 10 years, 3 major accidents, replaced motors, a crap ton of random issues, one ex-girlfriend and countless nay-sayers later I can honestly say...never have I ever been so glad to be so stubborn

Same dog...new tricks
