Not the Sunroof! I've always admired that custom paint job from the first time I saw it.

Oh well -- ROADSTER!!!

Do it!

It all seriousness. It's only a car. Glad you both are OK.

Yeah Im glad to see you both ok, you could have rolled into the tree line and it would have been worse, maybe a branch through the window

Stuff happens in life, we just have to move forward!

Yeah, I learned A LOT from that. And I know I'll never drive a 7 in the snow again! And I'm gonna do the same risingsun on this black car, except where the white was on the other roof, I'm sticking with black so it's a black and red flag instead of white and red. What do ya think?

The red and black should look good together. Good luck with the "new" build.

i had no choice one time, and drove my rx to school(it was either that or my bike, and honestly i think it would have done better.) anyway, i pulled into the parking lot. and immediately spun. and was stuck. 3.5 inches of snow, and i was stuck. not bottomed out or anything. i could push it. the tires were just spinning in place. i couldnt even rock it.

I had a friend that flipped an FB several years ago. Same thing happened. Passenger side was crushed in, driver's side was fine. Unfortunately he was going a lot faster and was in a comma for several months. He is okay now but he still has some head problems and can't see straight. The messed up part is that while he was hanging upside down unconscious someone came by and stole his wallet. I bought the car from him for $400. It had a freshly rebuilt 12a and tranny, and LSD. It was a good deal for me but he quite driving after that.
