pookie:
7lb flywheel
GIAC chip

18 x 7.5 BBS wheels
clear corners
stupid blue emblem

celica:
too much stuff for me to have the patience to list


we're still waiting... and waiting and waiting for the late model miata to get finished with some minor body work. will post before and after pics.
 
thank you.

please do share some pics.
dunno if you guys have noticed, but cars are my other interest (okay.... obsession)

i seriously need another car that's new (or newer) and more practical but still fun. maybe someday if i get a real job. at least the celica and miata are paid for and the bug almost is.
 
I get my fun car back from the shop on Monday. I'm dying to see it again! It got new headlight rims, new dash, new complete brake system, ignition, rebuilt carb, and a bunch of smaller stuff.

It's a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger, sort of a robin's egg blue. Photos WILL be forthcoming.

Now THAT I wanna see.
 
Looks like you were rear-ended. Or maybe you backed up into someone?

Anyway, nice car. Did you buy the headlights smoked like that or did you spray them yourself?
 
they are blackout headlight covers. yeah some old asian guy was rubber necking but i didnt have insurance so i faked that i did and he just ended up giving me 50.00. i really didnt wanna take much more than that...

dude, that's way more than $50 worth of damage. what can you do though? yea yea... you feel bad cause it truly was an accident and feel bad for the guy but you didn't have an insurance company to call anyway.

you would be screwed even with insurance anyway. let me stop before i get on a roll...
 
Haha that thing rocks. I love old school cars.

btw: I hope that car sees the road every once in a while. I feel sorry for old schoolers that are never driven.
