MY BABY!

I wrecked my poor BABY today! Luckily there was only minor body damage. I was doin a burn off on an old black top road after about 100ft she started whipin the *** around. I hit a fence and raked the drivers side took off half the ground effects and part of the side piece of the spoiler, also dented the quarter panel right behind the door. My poor poor baby! my body man said he'll have her lookin good as new in no time.
I'm just glad this happened before the new paint job whew! Well guess this means i'll be painting just a little sooner than planned. Good thing my body man is an old high school buddy! OK if anybody actually read this far i'm looking for,.....you guessed it ground effects for the drivers side and new corner piece of the spoiler.

My poor poor baby!

To some guys their cars are like their women.
Sure you buy things for it and keep it looking good. You love when people check it out, but they don't get to drive. And every once and a while you get a little dirty with it. Sometimes things just get of hand.

highhat, why dont you use your aggression against people who are killing/bombing/terrorising countries, instead of those asking a question?

If it makes you feel any better, I ruined a tire today. I drove a mile or two on a flat. I don't care about my POS stock rims so I drove on my tires with only 3000 miles on them. I'm a dumbass.

you know what. i used to drive crazy as all H*ll in my camaro then i realized that the whole knowing its fast and not SHOWING is way more intimidating than just blasting around town at 100mph. now i know you werent doing that but. if you want to do some burnouts or some crazy stunts. GO TO A PARKING LOT. not some back road. its not safe and now you learned your lesson the hard way.

now i am not trying to be a **** . but i am 18 and for the last two years i ran havic in town. now i respect others and guess what I DONT OWN THAT ROAD. its free to everyone who can afford a car and insurance. wish i would have known this 3 years ago.

well anyways hope it gets fixed and as good as it did before.

and dont do that again.

Believe me I learned my lesson!
I was pissed because he made it sound as if you should never drive over the speed limit or peel out. And I was still pretty pissed about being a dumbass and wrecking my car.
I have a couple of people around town wanting to race me, after hitting the fence They are gonna have to meet me at the track! No way i'm racing on the street.
Luckily I live just 5 min from Kansas City International Raceway.

It wasnt completely flat, so I figured it would be fine. But yeah by the time I got to the gas station, it was ultra hot.
