I fail to understand how getting another car that you plan on lowering and putting wheels on is any different than driving the car you already have. Not to mention all the problems that come with having two cars in the city.
hmm, hit 106k this morning on my 4 hour drive to Johnstown, PA. I prolly have the highest mileage in our group, and I couldn't care less. Cars aren't investments, that's for sure!

Chu, I don't have to DD it anymore, thats why I don't. I did for 4yrs before that. Last year was the first full year I had another car, its a good thing too considering it sat at Adams house for 3 months.

just popped on to see whats up. having ROUGH couple of weeks so very very busy. seems as if theres drama brewing in the philly thread. sand man hope everything works out well for you. i agree a car should be driven, but up at school with over a foot of snow on the groud and my roomates jeep at easy disposal, choose the jeep esp until i get this damn "slow leak" fixed on the evo. chu, super busy but expect a txt or PM from me at some point.

we have all had are fun days running from the cops, but at this point, if the cop is behind you with his lights on, just pull over. no sense in hurting yourself or someone else bc you dont feel like paying a fine. so stupid and childish. that said, DsB F*^K the 5-0 haha just kidding brotha. man once i get some money E-85 here i come!

Either you have money out the wazoo or your parents just buy you whatever you want to shut you up...
Its not that my car is too low, my car isn't honestly that low, it's more that my car just sucks to daily drive. Twin disk, coilovers all bushings are either metal or just solid, just annoying.

In a vancouver thread.
I still feel bringing out the helicopter for someone who just ran from on the highway is a bit over kill. But when you don't know why that persons running I can see where it would be more important, I was just speaking of kids street racing or I was thinking that anyway lol.

My first badass DD back in the late 90's was a 90 eagle talon I converted from a non turbo AT to a 5 speed turbo. It laid down 380 WHP, had a welded front diff, dumped exhaust from the downpipe (IE: no exhaust) stripped interior, no AC and nitto DR's among other amenities. I drove it like that for almost a year before it got a catback and phantom grip insert on a stock diff. Now THAT was a bad car for everyday use.
As for running from the cops, if you are stupid enough to do that in a car and put innocent people's lives on the line then you deserve to be shot. Youd have to be borderline retarded to blame the cops for a choice you made.

Kittens, I did edit my post since I feel I was being overly rude. So if you'd like to keep it fine, otherwise feel free to change it... You need not explain yourself to me.

Shaw, yes that was before I was 21.
