I have 3 dbz shirts and I rock them every Monday Tuesday and Friday.
I liked The new Jonny Quest. The old one had too much of a homo vibe between Jonny Hadji and Race.
King of all cartoons-- Scooby Doo

Yeah I know, thats what I tell him. At first he wanted to settle for Swift or Racing Beat springs and I strongly suggested Coilovers. He wouldnt budge.... and now He wont settle for nothing less than coilovers. ....
I suggest Springs for now since his shocks are pretty new.. (maybe 12k on the ODO) but he wants coilovers so we will see.
not only that but.. again, we forgot to put the front windows up (tinted) which i think would have looked better, and maybe some tire shine 
... The pics were out of the blue while we were driving around looking for an exhaust shop that can fix a loose rivet on his Titanium Tips (1 loose rivet). We think it came loose because maybe he bumped the tip somewhere. When It was loose it would rattle the tip rarely at idle, and it was annoying when it did rattle. We drove around for like 2-3 hours looking/waiting for a shop to fix 1... yes 1... rivet. We went to 1 exhaust shop with real good rep (Eastside Muffler), probably the best in the 50 mile radius, and we waited for about 30 min for the guy to just look at it and then quote us $30 to fix 1 rivet, and he not only did that but said we needed to replace 2 which would be like $40-60. To make things even worse he then said... it might be about 1.5 hours before we can get you on the lift. 
I mean I know this shop has rep but to wait 1.5 hours to fix 1 ribbet is ridiculous. We left somewhat promising to come back (we didnt 
). We then went straight home (my house) and called up a shop the next 2 towns over with a really good rep (Auto Mad) and they quoted us 5-$10 to fix the rivet. We quickly went to their shop. We waited a couple minutes for one of the clerk people to look for the rivet tool and rivet, he came back out with a replacement rivet and gave us bad news that their rivetting tool was broken. We drove about 20 minutes (about $3.23 in gas) from where I live to get to AUTO MAD... in return he gave us the rivet for free and informed us that we can borrow the rivet tool from autozone and drill it out ourselves.. NO WAY - I dont trust myself and neither does Izzy, especially on the Exhaust system he has. We then took the rivet, stopped for pics (pics posted), and right next door to where we took the pics there is another shop with good rep in the HOT ROD/AMERICAN community WESTERN EDGE. WE walked in, explained the situtaion. The guy already knew why we cant simply weld titanium tips and for $20 took care of us in less than 10 minutes! 
. Driving around all day. In the end the rivet was removed and fixed and all were happy.
