Cool

Damn you,
The weather is starting to clean up around here. I think the car will make it's maiden voyage this coming week to Magnus for some final upgrades...

I'll have to wait to drive her again later in the month.

Damn you

Later,

Talking The car is on the road =)

Just insured my car this week =)

Whooo hoooo.

Thank goodness I had all winter to perfect my driving skills in my powerful 110hp sentra. Now I can drive safely in the FD!

Mine is in a giant white dome without a carb. It ain't going ANYWHERE this winter

It didn't last 22 years by driving in the slush, snow, ice, rocks and salt!

Work the idle map now, and the driving later.

I dont know if this should be in the kills section, but I pwned a salt truck on the 401 today in Neo's FD. (he still doesnt know I made a copy of the key. Shhhh. Dont tell him)

I am driving in the right lane, and I come up behind him and he is spraying salt ALL OVER my (I mean Neo's) car. I know how much he hates that, so I pull up along side and start revving my engine so he can hear my leet BOV. I am having a hard time staying in my lane because I cant see out of the windshield. It appears Neo has had the wipers removed.

He looks down at me and revs back. I think he has a bigger turbo than Neo does, and it whines really loud.

But I have faith in my ability to shift mad quick yo (Like Derek taught me) so I honk 3 times and gun it. I was having a hard time finding traction, and I think I might have even fishtailed the rear end into the plow but eventually got her going straight and pulled a good 10 car lengths on him before shutting down.

I dont think the plow was stock, but cant confirm. We pulled over to chat it up at a timmy's but he wouldnt let me look under the hood. I agreed to pop my hood though, so he could see my mint chrome job. Sadly, he spilt coffee all over the engine.

The good news we can all take from this, is that now Neo's car has been officially desensitized to rain, slush, salt, snow and ice, (as well as fog, mist and cloud cover) so it should be able to make it out to most events this season rain or shine. (I mean, what could he put it through this summer that I havent already done to it right???)
