Happy Birthday to my car!

November 10th 2001: After seeing the car and driving it once before, I make a trip up to the Detroit Michigan area (about 2 1/2 hours) to look at my car again. I check it out and decide its a good car so I buy it. The guy was asking $3000, but took $2800.

Okay thats the story. Yesterday I washed her and waxed her, she looks great. I am storing her this winter, as I have the $$ for a winter beater and she has a new paint job, which i really dont want to rust. Spinning out and crashing or dying would suck also
I got the car repainted in April/May
I could go on and on and give many stories, but im sure you guys dont care. I got my car a little over a month after my 17th birthday. Due to a suspended license about half the time ( ), I only put about 4000 miles on her in a year..

Heres a few pics "before and after"



first wash i look real ghey

wash yesterday


If you want to see more pics just see sig

the website used to be www.illmitch.com but its not there anymore. It was this russian guy with broken english who had rap poses and stuff. I think the guy was a retard rapper, but it was hilarious nonetheless...

Its one of funniest sites ive seen...

if we're playing "Find the Clues", i see the front driver wheel is backwards in the before/after pics

...of course you mention you repainted it, so the side trims are red now
