    Nope, I'll take some soon.

    We got rid of my other car today, the one I learnt to drive in. A 1997 black Suzuki Sierra. It wasnt roadworthy, but she was a fine car. I saw a mist in me dads eyes as it drove off. The guy taking it had a bit of trouble on the hill start, I laughed.

    Warning, pics of the car will likely include me.

    You actually accepted daisies instead of gas money or mind altering substances?

    At least you have a set of wheels M8. That is the important thing.

    I was the first among my friends to get a car. You know that song about being a scrub. I remember my Ford Granada V6 having much success with the girls when I was 18. *Sigh* those where the days. (Exactly 19 years ago )

    Grats Master Pever! Enjoy!
    Coincidently, I just got a new car two days ago. A 2005 CVPI. It is all black, and aside from some hail damage looks pretty sweet. I completely love the things. A frame like a truck and a 250 HP V8 that does the talking! It still has the spotlight on it and everything! I am going to be using it to commute. :P

    (I dont have my license yet, but I can get away with driving, casue Im better at than most folks in town )

    My first car. I had to replace the rusted-through fenders with sheet metal from an old shower system. The other part of the fender I found at the local scrapyard for $5, so I snatched them up. Poorly insulated with some old blankets and such, and I had to stop driving it becasue I cant afford new taillights and there is a mysterious ticking noise coming from the hood and a smell that is making me think that I need to fix the electrical system before it explodes.


    Nice car pever, but keep in mind just how much you suck. (I mean that in the nicest possible way...)

    I'm well aware, don't worry.

    This is the car I learnt to drive in:

    1997 Suzuki Sierra. We sold it. Dad cried a little bit.

    It wasnt roadworthy and the clutch was about to die. And the floor was about to rust out (could see the road etc)
