Remember how dozer and I left to go do Taryan's rotors and brakes? well, dozer was jacking up the car with the OEM jack, and I was laying next to the car and had my head under on the passanger side by the jack telling him how much further he needed to jack it up to get the jackstand under and I also had my arm under the car holding the jackstand. I had the jackstand already under the car, we just needed a few more inches to get the jackstand under the frame. Now, the reason we were taking it up higher to get on the jackstand was because I told them how two of my dads friends have died from being under a car and the jack failing so they got crushed to death. So we had the car almost up high enough when the jack shoots out from under the frame. the car drops onto the jackstand which is located under the passanger floor at that time. The jack stand saved the car from falling onto my head. I don't think I ever moved so fast in my entire life!


edit: I also need to add that the passenger front wheel was already off at this time.

....then again...i remember rotr8 saying that there's actually no fogless bumper...might be just someone filling it in

well anyways....props either way if you can get your hands on it...it'll probably be pretty expensive tho...better save your paychecks homie

that or start takin' really good pic's and slangin' em'
i plan to do it right!
well whatever i can get my hands on. i checked japanparts.com and apparently theres a fogless kit. so who knows.
but you're right, i gotta start savign and hope for a miracle, but you never know. anyways thats my plan.

Uh, I could've told you that this area is dead

There are some cool tucked away areas around here to take shots at. Mission Viejo Mall parking garage (by Saks) is nice to go to after stores are closed.


Hi Rory!

It's a great price for some legit wheels....
gawd i would jump on those if i had the money
