How the 10th spends it's winter and my beater car
The only problem when you use your parents garage as a storage facility. It's the most expensive storage rack I've ever seen 
Plus my custom 82 olds delta 88. Can't beat $1500 for a full size V8 that hasn't given me a lick of trouble.

winter beaters are fun Check out the custom NAAAWs sticker. You can't see it but I have a SI-R badge on the right side. Kinda pisses off the ricers and still my 150 (stock) hp 5.0L still puts a hurtin on em.

StarionX: You're going to hurt it's feelings
See the impala ss in the background? I'm trying to get my dad to put new springs on that and I'll take the stock SS springs. It'd be off da heezy
For an 82 I could think of much much worse things to drive. The only problem with that car was that it smelled like a grandma inside. You know that kinda funeral flowers type of smell. Thank god that's gone now. Now it just smells oddly like a car with no cats on it

I have a mazda 626 for winter, and when i drive the T2 it feels like a Mclaren! The 626 is sooo slow. I took out the T2 the other day since the roads were perfectly dry, the dayys of rain washed all the salt away.

Ohio RX-7 owners reprazent... 
My RX-7 has been doubling as a depository for a bunch of clothes destined for donation at the local Goodwill. The trunk also contains a bunch of old textbooks and miscellaneous things. All this will change come January.

Yeah, that's a 95 SS in the background. It's mom's car Flowmasters, CAI, modded MAF. My dad drives a lightning. I'm near akron and I'm finishing up school in Toledo. So it's a good drive to come home and work on the car.

They are basel's by speedform. They were one of the only wheels I could find in the right offsets and widths. They are about as heavy as the stock rolling hardware. However, the extra weight probably comes from having a 17x9 in the rear and 17x8 in the front with 235's and 215's
Haven't seen them since I bought em. Sorry.
I'll try and snap a few more pics of the car after the relatives leave

I just love the last generation b-body impala's. I drive a '93 caprice around so it's basically the exact same save the engine Such comfortable cars, and it's amazing how they can perform. I took my caprice autocrossing and oh boy was that a riot, strangely enough it did quite well, I wish I could take a impala out there and see how they do with their better sway bars and such! Anyway, that was VERY off topic!

getting even more off topic I have impala swaybars on that olds. Works great. The rear bar was hands down the best mod I've done to it. I was going to autox it while the T2 was being built up.
