Am I late to the party?

I bought my car, sight unseen when I was stationed out near Russia. Those feels, I know them.
Geeeeez, from Russia? They had internet there that wasn't 56k?


The good ole days indeed. I noticed a lot of the old school members didn't feel the need to get wild bumpers, or KONKAVE WHEELS YO. I really wanted something that looked boring to 90% of people, and classy/understated to 10%. I like going to meets and getting zero attention. Things are less likely to be stolen if they aren't noticed.....

Not quite Russia, but near there. And on what could be considered American soil.

Classy/understated is the way to go. Best build thread of all time, 5-star thread.

In Finland, slot machines are monopolized by a non-profit company that gives all its earnings to charity.

Haha I had to have them media blasted and repainted for almost what I paid for them. They're mint now!

Table tennis balls have been known to travel off the paddle at speeds up to 160 km/hr.

Experts at Intel say that micro processor speed will double every 18 months for at least the next 10 years.

You know guys, I really did want this to be something cool, just a timeline of how my car progresses (which it will be this fall and next year) but I'm perfectly okay with joking around about this lol.

Mods, if you want to just keep on moving this to "The Corner" .......

Lol I'm really not trying to start trouble. I suppose I have a way of questioning most things that are built on circumstantial rules, or unwritten ones. Really, I'd like to start modifying my car in a way that works towards the goals I have for it, and I feel like if I share some of that experience with other members maybe they might benefit.
