Hmmmm. Very surprised none of the normally eagle eyed members spotted this, (well maybe someone hinted at it I think) but looks like you really celebrated the 200k milestone with a 100mph dash, heheh

Ha! You got it ! I was wondering who would be the first to see that and comment on it. That pic wasnt easy to capture. I was flying down this somewhat straight country road with one hand on the wheel and the other hand holding the camera through the space in the steering wheel while trying to frame the shot and pay attention to the road at the same time. Luckily no deer decided to pull out in front of me.

Thanks guys. Got some plans for some suspension and body mods in the future. Unfortunately it will be the distant future. I would like to go to coil-overs or bags and fix all the scratches and dents in my car and then paint the entire car. Maybe get some more aggressive wheels. But I like how it looks for now.

I just turned 150k.

Just got back from inspection...they cannot align the car any longer, camber is at the limit.
It aligned after I did the l-tuned install...but that was many bumps ago.

Here she is at 30k...before l-tuned:


At 90k...after l-tuned:

Oh and those gas prices weren't real even then, from an out-of-business station on NJ RT72.

Did you know that if you take a Big Red wrapper, lick it and stick it on your forehead, it will burn like hell?
Do they even sell Big Red anymore? Feeling old...
