Changed the windshield stuff

Well seeing as how i'm no longer with suicidal racing the banner has come off the top and is replaced with the my new team's decal Hazardous Concepts. The new one goes on the bottom just above the windshield wipers the more i looked at the top of the windshield the more i hated how it looked so i "tinted" it. I used some black vinyl i had laying around from what i dont know and just peeled and stuck it up top wwhere the factory tint is. It comes down maybe a 1/2 inch or so lower but is solid black it came out pretty good for being done in the dark and only took about 45 minutes. If the computer decides to let me upload the pics i'll take and post em. Anyone know what i could clear on this comp to get c drive space back the only thing left is like the net and the windows xp bs. I may try to load the software to my girls computer to try and load them at her house but i dunno

Why do you always have problems with your computer? You should take care of it just like you take care of your car. Try doing the disk clean utility in WindowsXP get rid of all your temporary internet files and your cookies and temp folder crap. If the pictures are on your computer already there should be no reason you can't upload it.

It is probably a good thing to not have the word "suicidal" scrawled across your windshield in big letters.

Since you started posting again you've: Repainted your car a different color * Painted your wheels to give them a different look * Changed the seats * Changed the windshield banner...

If you really wanted the chance to start over, you should've done all this stuff and then re-registered with a different name. No one would recognize the car and they couldn't hijack all your threads calling you a liar all the time. Just a thought, and something you might consider if you ever buy a different thirdgen.

But then I wouldn't have gotten a good chuckle out of your Engine confession thread

because, unless your sponsored by a company recieving money or promoting for practicle reasons it is a dead give away that the owner/driver of the car is still in high school or wishes that they were!

Well if it said like Camaro on it in the correct Camaro lettering or something like that, also not having it to crazy i think that would be ok.

I am i work for hazardous concepts on the side, we do suspension, tube chassis, roll cages body mods and custom paint. Thats the only reason i put the banner on. That and since i work for them i got it free. As for the vinyl crap on the top of the windshield when i saw it in day light it looked like *** so i went to this tintcrafters of aurora near my house. They did a 5% "sunshade" in about a half an hour for 35 bucks and it looks awesome. As for taking care of the computer like the car its my parents computer not mine i suggested the disk cleanup stuff but she thought it would erase the essentail stuff on the computer like word, paint etc. She doesnt listen to me so i gave up.
