a sad day and a new beginning...

sped the white car... video can be seen here

those of you who may remember me might ask, why did you get rid of that car, it was awesome!... well, I've had that car since i was 17 and considerably less learn-ed in the way of the car lol, so needless to say, there were some ef'd up jobs on it. I'm excited tho, its a new beginning, everything on this car will be done right. now that I'm staying someplace i can finally work on it, ill be able to get things done.

I'll fill you in on what I've been up to: I've moved like 3 times in the last year, broke both shoulders, cracked a rib, had a metal shaving cut out of one eye, and a bunch of other miss haps... but now, I've finally started on the black car i got to, well..., start over with. first things first, tc hood, then header panel. maybe tail lights next. here is it's first picture.

Worked WAY too well for me.  It's just disturbing to see a big fox destroyed.

Sad to see it go. You should put your Mustang rims on this one. I've always loved those rims.

No offense, but it looks like that car was parked infront of a power washer for a couple of days. Compared to some of the cars I've posted pictures of over the years, I'm really not the one to talk. I used to show kids at school your old video's. Whats really funny is I started out with a cougar, and now I'm driving around a white bird.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

That vid is disturbing. Did you date the operators daughter or something?  That guy was raining down the hate on that poor fox.
