vvvvvTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

thing was a ripper. buddy did a waterpump swap. turns out its a full ITR swapped eg (not brakes though sadly) and had some supertech goodies.

red 240 is ugly. it's beat. it has frame damage. but without focus it looks sick. and it's getting a tubular front end

to get a lil bit gay, the flowers were damn pretty i think. kept staring at them hah.






andddddddddd here's my car, i know you're all worried about her. the dangler/hang nail has yet to be removed haha

The one on my dad's G35x has been missing for almost 3 years and we haven't had any problems.

Plus mine is about half the size that it used to be

Ps, I'm kinda drunk.

I really need paid jobs soon!

Dang...ok, 1130pm...I thought you were drunk with an AM post this morning and was worried about you!

Dont' drink by yourself...it's bad form!

if you're going to let it rip off anyway, remove the whole damn thing...although visually, it makes the front look lower to the ground!

It's okay to drink by yourself...just don't get drunk by yourself. Huge difference. *sips cognac*

well guys...so no i was not alone. i was in the city. had myself 2 beers, finished like right around when i posted.

at 12:30 i left to go home. made the drive home from the city. got 5 min from my house, dozed off...hit a curb.

please, don't give me some comments about DUI or what not, i was perfectly legal to drive. HOWEVER, i was dead tired...i have a history of falling asleep at improper times ...only 3 hours of sleep, up for work at 5 am, dozed off at ~1:45 am.

i'm pissed, and feel...lucky. i'm fine, and no one else was involved thank god.

brace yourself for rally-esque level car goriness

to be honest i don't even want to see it.

to get off of the road i had to drive at least 500 feet like that. then go back and find the other part of my wheel. when i had walked back, i noticed the fender was bent. it looks like it has a z06 style fender vent...the top of the arch is fucked up too. it fell like the lip had been rolled outward which is scary.

That sucks, when you do claim don't say you ran into the curb yourself. Say you was avoiding another driver.

I appreciate it swoosh, but really i should have planned better and just been going home earlier.

I'm just really glad i wasn't that guy who falls asleep and runs into a school bus or some crazy shit like that.

exactly Anil, exactly. after that happened i was up for about 2 hours...just thinking of 'what if' scenarios. like i've said before in other threads about speeding and such, which i caught flak for btw, is i already know what miliseconds can do to change life. ya know?
so i'm just mad i seem to have forgotten to live out/act out what i preach to others.

personal disappointments make good motivators though!

WTF dude...what did you do?!?! Did I miss an epic story!?!?!

On a positive note, you should post this on inaccurate's thread on weight reduction as i'm CERTAIN you've lowered the rotational mass and weight in this instance.

am glad you are sucha person !!! i have seen many people where personal disappointments lead to something bad (drinking/not doing anything/etc)....

but yeah....you just reminded me of my Dad....he knew me down to a T.....and he knew i only get motivated by demotivation/challenges....so he used to tell me "you not gonna get the scholarship...you are not made for it you know....its alright"....and that motivated me LOL....weird.....now the same trick didnt work on my Sis hahah.....

NOOOO! Sorry to hear/see this, Sean. Hope you get it back up and running soon. If you lived closer, I'd let you borrow one of my stock wheels.

i have a 07 accord SE wheel to use! same sizing as my fronts, but my rears are a 50 profile 225...so since the accord wheel doesn't have the offset to accomdate the brembos i have to do a full front to rear swap to avoid shredding up the LSD. which is why i haven't done anything till today.

anyways, i'll get her rolling again this afternoon and we'll see if there is any real damage. I DO have insurance on the tires, so new tire for $17-19 isn't bad. if everything is still kosher, it'll only be about a $200 repair bill so i'm pretty happy right now.

anyways, i got some decent shots this morning. went out to the yard to grab some chives for mi madre, wet grass, overcast, interesting light i thought.



not a good picture, but this was about 1.5 plants worth into a gallon baggie, there are probably 15 more plants left!!! mmmmmmmmmmmmm chives


would retake, but they are ALLLLLL chopped up and in the freezer/fridge now

John, this is for you, since you inspired me!!!!



this one wasn't as cool straight from the card, so i tried to 'coolify' dis' cat


i think it's got that intagram feel.

th-th-th-th-that's all folks!
