And that time was far sketchier because I was totally broke then - I think I paid you like $10? And after paying the body shop I had about $5 left to live on for a week or so.

RandomTask's car is pretty sweet. I never really got the black wheels on a white car thing until I saw his pulling up.

Nobody died, but I did almost forget to pay the man (and he's enough of a class act that he simply said "can I get some help with gas money" instead of "hey shithead, where's my money" as I deserved).

Saw the both of you yesterday. His car is pretty sweet. What is the deal with your exhaust? It looks kinda weird to be honest. I could'nt keep up with you guys but your car looked pretty clean from where I saw it lol.

It's a Bassani 5x10 mounted vertically. The guy who built the exhaust (http://www.elstonheaders.com/ - does some amazing work btw, especially for American cars) made the executive decision (I was 400 miles away at the time, body shop that was painting it towed the car to him and he was simply told "this is a daily driver, make an exhaust for it with the sole consideration being going fast") that with all the ground clearance I have he wanted to be somewhat close to a Mercedes sound. I think I may change it out for a 4x8 mounted horizontally and lower it with some H&R springs at some point, but I'm a little afraid that if it sounds like this with a 5x10x22 then with a 4x8x22 it might be ridiculous.

+rep for being the first person ever to spot me btw. What were you in?
