the more things change
with this cold weather Loren your going need to give it five days.
plus if you want extra protection, get an easy spray on wax.
mop the floor with it then wipe off when dry.
what this does is stop the tires from catching the paint and pulling it up.
this all based on the quality off paint that you used..
a car wax will work how ever your floor will be slightly slippery..
cold weather makes the paint take longer to cure, which means
to dry all the way thru..

and another FD3S bites the dust
today my friend took me for a ride in his absolutely beautiful 93 rx7(fully built showcar).... we went around a turn, lost control, slid forever on the sidewalk, hit huge bushes, making us end up sliding backwards, hit a telephone pole, and spun around 180 degrees and stopped...... hurt like hell, my back and neck are throbbing, he is fine (he had a sparco seat and 4-point harnesses)... the car is basically totalled... sad day

Aren't you old enough yet to realize your friends maturity yet?
It would have been nice leaving your kid behind.
Maybe next time you won't get in if they are going to hot dog it.
One thing when you do it and your in control.
It's another thing when your friends think they can drive as good as you.

well, its hard to believe now, but he is a very good driver who usually only takes it to the track.....i took him for a ride in my evo around this same turn just a few minutes prior, and all was well..... when we got there in his fd, the ground was wet around the turn, which made him lose control...(or the water was there when i drove too, but my all wheel drive saved my ***)
most defiently, he's owned this car for years, and put alot of money into it, taken it to many racetracks.. he knows how to drive, so i wasnt nervous at all..... it was just a freak accident.... it happens..
not understanding the comment here....
that was kinda the point though....
very true.... i completely agree with you here.... but again, thats why they call them accidents... hes a very compitent driver... it just wasnt his night..... even professional racecar drivers crash!
in this situation, i believe his driving skill is superior to mine... he has more track time, and is 10 years older than me.. so he also has more seat time....
all in all.... **** happens... doesnt mean hes a bad driver...... the street is a very empty industrial street, so no lives were at stake (minus our own)(but we accept the risk anytime we do these things, so doesw anyone getting behind the wheel)

Prospective buyer has expressed interest in coming to look at the vehicle on Tuesday. We have come up with a price that we are both agreeable on...and it looks like just the wheels/tires will be removed. He has stated that he lives quite a distance and is not interested in driving back and forth several days to buy a car...so, my guess is, if he likes the car, it will be gone that night.???? We'll see.

Jedi, thanks but no thanks. not enough money to be interested. in order for it to be worth it to me I would have to charge something like 40-50. and thats just not going to happen.
Thanks for lookin out though!
