Pay off car first?

Just kidding...fantastic responsible logic!
Sorry to hear about your family member. I'd have to assume you were close given that they left you money.

Sorry about your loss.

I did things the other way around. Scored a bonus, dropped it on ATI crank pulley, race header, full exhaust, injectors, meth kit and a tune. I figured the smiles would outweigh what I would save in interest by paying my loan off early. It turned into a slippery slope of mods

Thanks guys. It was my grandmother who passed, but it was like 9 years ago. It was a property selling issue that took almost a decade to settle. Typical family weirdness lol.

Just got home from a MOPAR cruise to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. Witnessing a Challenger Hellcat and Challenger Scat Pack battling it out in the highway was humbling lol.

Did you help them dig the corvette's out of the rubble?

Family shit sucks, dude...I have one uncle that ignores the family because he got written out of the will when grandpa realized who was there helping him pee and poop at the end. Who gets people.

Well thankfully it wasn't a real issue because the only people who knew about it were my parents apparently. It was a completely out of the blue thing for me and my siblings. Either way I just made a substantial payment on the loan today and should have the car paid off well before the end of the year.

Oh it was definitely nerve racking, believe me, but I made sure to watch as many YouTube vids on installing hood pins before starting so I knew all the tips to make sure they lined up. I also purchased some diamond coated hole saw bits from Amazon to make sure they made nice clean holes. But yeah, I was definitely freaked out putting holes in a freshly painted hood lol.

Yeah the electron blue was nice on the EP3s. I had a black EP3. Fun cars.

I've had one other blue car and it was an awesome shade of blue, too. 1995 Nissan 240SX SE 5spd. It flip flopped from blue green to blue purple. One of the nicest factory colors IMO. I miss that car too at times.

I got rid of mine not long after I had this POS S/C installed.

LOL I wanted Inferno Red (the darker red), but they didn't bring it to the 2G. Second choice was Blue Streak, but that was only available in 2012. Black it was (after I swore I'd never own a black car again) .

We had a pretty good turn out at one of our local cruise nights this past Friday. There were 5 Challengers, one of them being a Sublime Green Hellcat and Sublime Scat Pack, 2 Chargers and 2 Rams. It was cool comparing the different hues of Dodge blues next to each other. My Deep Water Blue Pearl, a Jazz Blue Challenger R/T and a Daytona Blue Charger R/T Daytona.

Looks like a cool event; nice mix of cars overall. Best part is they do it in the evening...everything here seems to be in the morning .

That's odd. Besides Cars and Coffee all the cruises I've gone to have been in the evening.

Just some quick impromptu photos. I have a Steven Bell inspired mod on its way.

Great guess, but no, I'm happy with the Flowmaster exhaust (for now). This mod is constructed of carbon fiber, hence the Steven Bell reference.
