Yessir! I race dirt bikes and it is the same concept really just your using your feet instead when in a car. And it was a nightmare driving it in snow especially when others are sliding all over the place and I am trying to avoid them but I made it and was just extremely careful.

Car looks great , enjoy it with your best friend ( aka GF )
But make her a favor and get her a new pair off jeans , don't be that frugal

Cool story. I'm glad you got home safe with your car. Enjoy the heck out of it

I hate to be the barer of bad news but those tires will crack and are not supposed to be driven or even see under 40 degs. they are summer only tires. Its in your manual.

haha she actually bought them that way! sounds silly but according to her they are "in style" otherwise I most definitely would

JCunningham · 03-31-2014, 01:17 PM

ripped jeans never go out of style.

Very nice car I assume that you and me are close to the same age , I too worked for my car and can say I spent every penny I had on it ... Yeah these cars are AWESOME had to go through the freak heavy hail / rain storm last friday on my way to Houston , I got one little dent from the hail which although its a dent and kind of irritates me Im glad there arent more . Tell her that you wont be buying her much of anything mods comes first ... Just joking .. I think

SS/RS VERT · 03-31-2014, 04:22 PM

I think I would have called AAA to tow the car to my house before I would have left it in a random parking lot over night. Regardless, congrats on a great looking ride.

Beautiful car! If you have any money at all left over make sure it's spent on products to protect that paint! If you have any questions on products, there is a sticky at the top of the detailing section on products which is a great reference, and I'm sure Camarodreams07, SSTG or myself would be more than happy to talk to you in PM!

Cheers on the car and pretty girl to ride in it with you!
