I could care less about the car, how'd you get so busted up???


Agreed. How are you recovering?


But just out of curiosity, is the car crushed the same one in your sig doing a massive burnout? What happened to it?

Well, I was grinding welds and a piece of metal cooked into my eye. Dam thing went right under my safety glasses deep enough my eye dr had to use a drill and spend 2 visits milling it out. Thank god my eyes ok tho, a little off and it woulda messed up the lens.

The solders and rib got messed up in my ju-jitsu/karate class I take every other day. Those are healed up good now too. Guess I'm getting old lol...

Btw yes that's the same car getting crushed that's in my signature. I've had the car almost 10 years but the welding I did to it on the frame for the sub frame connectors/torque box plates wasn't very good and rusted badly... The mustang k member was messed up, and a recent storm dropped a dam tree on the quarter. Last time I was at the track I had it in high 13s, all the stuff that was done to it is listed in the car domain link below.

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.

lol, yeah crash, don't tell Amy! she'll kill me lol... that girl was a stripper for a while. o and yeah, back to the car lol, all the welds under the body had gotten rusted pretty badly, the sub frame connectors were ef'd up from when i did them when i was like 17 and couldn't weld... it seems like not much, but it always bothered me and after the tree fell on the quarter, i said to hell with it, i have another I'm starting over.
