I know of plenty car guys that drive corollas. I remember one guy had a 91 with a 3sgte in it. Surprised the hell out of a lot of people.

Saw a Nissan 180SX crash straight into the sidewall on the highway. It was odd, he wasn't going that fast, the car went into drift and he most likely wasn't ready for it and crashed.

I pulled right over for him along with a lady in a red Thunderbird. Asked if he was okay and he was thankfully. Damaged mostly for front bumper and hood, radiator is most likely toast. Car is still drive-able and he drove off. He was pretty pissed, i hope he doesn't sell it, he did some mods to it. Just gotta fix it and keep going man...don't see many 180SX on the road.

Even i was pretty shaken when i was leaving, cause i did what he did. But thats a story for a other time...

Seems so - not bad but it isnt too bad for the price. Too bad Turbo kits (SRT one) is like $6k

The SC is overpriced and its swapped too. It has a 1JZ with a Single. Idk how many miles are on the motor, but it still wouldn't be worth 8k even with low miles. Not to bash too much on 1Js, but my brothers and I have spanked Single Turbo 1J MK3s with our Stock 97 TT Supra on many an occasion.

Whats up with that 944 for 3-4k?? Do they usual go for that cheap or was it a salvage? Panel Gaps didn't look totally consistent, but then again I'm not too familiar with Porsche build quality....

Wish the Rx-7 stayed like that for a few months more

SC has more miles than all the cars in my neighborhoood combined lol

Idk much about 944's, but they're are a few cheap ones down here. I guess they don't know either

Saw a burnt orange :puke: Integra on the way to road; angled about 45 degrees into the shoulder. Got closer saw some broken glass or something on the ground but what shocked me was his stance. Hellaflush with mad camber not by choice, but by what looked like his driver front control arm snapping. Definitely some kind of suspension failure for sure though; maybe tie rod

F*** I have been working on these problems for the past 5 days nonstop. This is what I get for putting this off till the end of the semester.

Found out that for me, at least, finding twisties and pushing this car to it's limit (or maybe just my own) is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time.

So I was having trouble with my computer at work today. I tried a few things myself but all signs pointed to it being a problem upstream of my terminal. I went to the IT guys, told them about the problem and what I had done to troubleshoot it. They completely ignored what I said, went to the terminal and attempted the same things getting the same result. They then went and reset the server as there were a lot of people have the same problem. Afterwards they tried to log in on my terminal, which is a laptop, to prove the system. It worked, but was VERY slow.

IT guy #1 (while checking the amount of air blowing out from the vent ports) "there's not much air moving here, maybe the fan belt is broken and it's over heating."

IT guy #2 "no, it's a Dell. They only use 9 volt power cords. The HP's use 12 volts so they're faster."

I'm not making this up. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry.
