Also the meshies I'm almost done painting, and yes I didnt mask off the tires because they're desperately in need of new ones.

i cant wait till your shit breaks down (or gets wrecked again) so you have to dish out massive amounts of money because all you know how to do i rattle can stuff and barely put a cd deck in... so :stfusign: .. and FYI theres no broken American cars in my driveway chief. or garage.. everything runs just fine.

Lol chill, first off I was joking. Second, my shit won't break down because I try to take care of it.Third, what massive amounts of money have I dished out so far from wrecking or a breakdown that hasn't happened? Yes I did wreck my car, being young and stupid, but I got off lucky this time and I learned my lesson.Fourth at least I'm good at what I know how to do so far, and really what have I physically needed to replace mechanical wise yet on my cars aside from brakes? I'll answer that, nothing. I'm 17 and I'm trying to learn shit myself with nobody else in my family who works on cars, aside from a friend who helps us with stuff sometimes.Didn't mean to piss you off, but don't expect to talk shit about all of my damn cars all of the time and not get shit back. No hard feelings dude, glad you got the cavi running again.
Now on another note, picked up some new visors today at the junkyard for $5!
Going to get stuff for brakes friday. :thumbsup:

1.you say i don't try to take care of my stuff?
2.you haven't had to replace anything mechanical because you drove the car for a entire week.
3. you dident dish out any money because you got lucky that me and Dave changed your shit for free. which don't happen often with Dave :mrgreen: .
4.no one in my family works on cars either.. just that my dad works at GM dosent mean he works on cars
5. never made fun of your car. just your brothers r34 civic and your brothers protege STI , that even you pick on on a regular basis

lol when i was 17, i had a cavi z24 (90 model with 3.1 auto). I had blue neon's & loud stereo with some chrome wheels.

then i added an erector set apc wing to the back..

man it was ghey!!! I knew nothing but how to wire up my stereo at the time. I learned everything i know on my own, my family didn't work on cars either. My brothers are both younger than me.

I guess if i can lean it, you can too.

btw, your starting with a honda, i wish i would have done that!!! Your a step ahead already.
