Man I am so lazy, I haven't updated in a long time. I always forget what I've done since I last updated. I bought some indiglo guages for my car, they look awesome! I'm a little disappointed that in the daytime, the guages aren't very white, they are more off-white because of the indiglo stuff, but at night when you turn on the headlights and the guages light up an awesome green/blue color, its all worth it. A guy I know named Ben Nelson has a del sol like mine, and he made me some clear bumper reflectors for me to replace the amber ones. Now my whole front end has no yellow on it, looks awesome. It's amazing how such a little thing like reflectors make a car look so much cooler.
About a month ago it was Senior skip day at my school. This isn't a school certified day, and they get really mad when the students skip. I think like 90% of the senior class and 15% of the Junior class skipped. Anyway, I went to bed early so I could get up early. First I went to my work to get some free breakfast. Then I just kinda cruised around for a while. The weather was awesome, and I had the top off my car. When I stopped at this stop light I looked over and I see this guy in a convertible looking at me, right when he saw that I noticed him, he started smiling. I was like What the fu*k! I just looked straight forward and made a left turn. It was wierd. Then later on I was stopped at a stop sign and this Ninja style motorcycle is stopped going the opposite direction. I saw him look over at my car, then he busted a fat wheelie across the intersection, it was cool. Okay, now for the cool part. I decided to drive down this one street that I remembered driving on before. The street is really curvy, smooth, and there are never any cars on it. So I'm flying down this 25mph street at like 60mph, I was taking all the turns great, and my suspension was working great. Well this turn was coming up that I couldn't quite see all the around, so I stepped on the break a little bit and I must have jerked the wheel a little bit or something, because the next thing I know I hear my back tires squeeling, and my whole back end slides around and I do a 180 in the street, and then I slide off the road and slide sideways into someones front yard, facing toward the road to complete a 270 degree slide. My top was off and all this dirt and dead grass came flying in my car. I even got grass in my mouth. After I came to a complete stop, I just started busting up laughing. I was scared while I was wiping out, but after it was all over, I realized how dumb I must have looked : ) I just drove home and checked out my car. It was a little dirty on one side from spraying dirt and grass everywhere, and there was grass wedged in between the rim and tire. It took me like 45 minutes to vacuum all the grass out of my car. I went back later and realized how lucky I was that I didn't slide into a mailbox or bush or something! It was fun.
At the last car club meet I went to, there was like 12 cars that showed up, it was cool, I got to meet a bunch of new people, and see some new cars. We now have a yellow del Sol, that has wheels, lowering, 50/50 taillights, etc. And a Mazda MX6 with a fat spoiler. Hopefully the weather is nice for the next meet, so we can have a big meet again.
The weather here in Missouri is retarded!!!! Thursday it was like 70 degrees, almost eighty, and 2 days later there was a blizzard and we got like 6 inches of snow. Then the next day it got to 50 degrees and all the snow melted. I can't wait until the weather just stays nice.
