That monster wing puts U the big leagues. That ain't no poser Honduh flap. You've definitely got a real racecar now. Time for some wicked graphics next, not some fufu pretty *** showcar paint job homes.

Wheels are getting fixed at Wheels America as we speak, they are gonna try their best to bring them back to life. I've got my fingers crossed.

Magmasters said they don't think it can be fixed, same with Wheel Repair Specialists.

Got a call with some bad news today, they couldn't fix the wheel with the large bend, because bending it back would cause a crack to form.

Looks like I'll be buying some new wheels until I can get the new barrels and lips manufactured... Might cost me a pretty penny.

Should have had Michelle take the pics!


Well yesterday I felt my alternator was dying so I took it out at 9:45 in the morning and went to Autozone. They tested it and confirmed that it was dying. So I returned in, got a series 5 alternator from them (lifetime warranty!) and since the price of the series 4 alternator has gone down since I bought my first one back in 2006 (and replaced it 3 more times since then) I got $13 cash even with the higher price of the series 5 alternator. So I spent all day rewiring the car which really was no big deal. I made 4 trips to Kragen across the street to get various connectors and finished the job at about 4:45pm. It took a while for me because I'm bad and inexperienced at wiring. I started the car and the voltage was perfect so I took it for a drive.

As I was driving up Haven, I hit a stop light at Victoria with one car in front of me. I look in my rear view mirror and theres a black Toyota Matrix coming at me fast. At the last second she slams on her brakes and slides right into me, lurching my car forwards. My ash tray popped out and my turn signal broke off (what the heck?). We pulled over and my bumper was pretty scratched up and my exhaust was bent and sounded like crap so I knew there was a leak somewhere; she must have compressed the exhaust when she hit me. Her car was of course fine. I got estimates today and its going to be $50 to fix the exhaust, $1052.30 to fix the rear bumper. We're meeting up tonight to handle it so please pray that everything goes smoothly.


So how is everyone else's cars going right now? I'm the fourth person in the last few months from our San Bernardino meet to get in some sort of accident. First was Johnson, then Kevin, then Travis, now me.

Johnson - Have you gotten a shell to swap your parts over yet?

Kevin - How is the body work on the red coupe coming?

Travis - Did you and that guy work everything out yet?

Will - WHERE ARE YOU?!

Yup, a clean Red 89 GXL with mint Black interior, just got done with most of the wiring. Motor and trans is out of the TII, It's going in next weekend. Suspension and brakes were all swapped over from the wrecked car.

Yeah it should be easy, and if I had to get in a car accident, at least this one was super minor.

Oh awesome man! After the motor and trans, is there anything left to swap over? Have you parted out your wrecked FC yet?
