the darkside

as far as bad luck goes, i it pretty good. called up this guy last night and ended up taking a trip to indiana to pick up my s13.. so it turns out that massive amounts of negative camber, and a welded diff tear through tires pretty quick. got one flat on the highway just past coldwater. and then put one of the spares on that he gave me, and that one blew when i was coming into jackson. so i put another one on, and took off, well the wheel fell off, yep, fell off.

my dumbass put the tiny key lugs on the mitsu rims and they pulled right through the whole. made it about 100 ft. that my bad luck, but like i said i have it pretty good. there was a scissor jack in the car, and a bunch of spares, and when the tire fell off, the brakes landed inside of the rim resulting in absolutely no damage....at all. just jacked it up and put on the factory lugs that where in the center console.

so this is my fourth vehicle, and i am going to pick up a truck later this week to tow all my toys with. heres some pics, ill keep ya posted. enjoy!

No, this is amusement... If it were hostility, I'd imagine my eyes would be wider.

nah, ill keep the 7 for autocross, and the 240 for drifting. i think it will work out better that way. besides the only optio for these cars are a vlsd and its not that great. however i would imagine it would do fine for autocross. either way, my 7 handles better.
