| Being in with LKQ is crazy awesome. I had a dude I talked to on the regular when I worked at NAPA - got me a fender for $20 off the retail and a front bumper for $15 off. He let me use the store's commercial account and the boss said it was fine as long as we didn't abuse it.
Sorry to see so many cars eating shit this close to the new year... ah well, get your marigolds on and do work, guys! |

| Cool. Cool. First harsh winter drive with the accord. It's a tank. 60mph on back country roads covered in slush and snow. I scared myself a few times but the car pulled itself through |

| So it turns out I broke both driver side rims. Good news I found a whole new set of matte bronze TSW interlagos to match the 2 I have left lol |

| As some of you know, I purchased a '89 Skyline last night. I'm too lazy to link the pictures right now, but I'll post them up later. |

|  The owner of a local shop has four of them...four. And a R33. Since the deal for the one up in Canada isn't 100% finalized yet, I may cancel that deal and see if Derek will sell me one of these. |

| Nice Job Kru! I'll be getting rid of my Jeep come August when I get the Skyline down here. But who knows, I may just end up keeping it. |
