Heh looks kinda evil and stealthy. Ditch the red eyelids though dude.... just sayin.
So you also have 3 Legend sedans (a white, teal and desert mist), and some car under a cover that I couldn't tell? Since you apparently like Legends a lot (just guessing) is the car under a cover a Legend also? 
and you also have a bangbus, or is that one of those tourist vans/buses?

just in case anyone actually cares, i totalled my coupe coming back from NALM

it was a scary moment. I did infact have my 5 point all on.
pics don't even look too bad, but the front end was literely being held together by the mls bar. also u can't see (i think its b/c of the paint) but the hood is not straight either
u guys know me, here are the PICS
you can see i slid all the way up the hill and back down..
even now hours and hours later on in total shock. idk what to do.
......................
My coupe is still in KY, i plan on driving back there tomorrow and renting a trailer and getting it back home. idk what i'll be doing when it gets back here. if it'll be worth fixing her or fixing my parts a good new home (mine or not
) hopefully the good stuff wasn't damaged too bad.
