just make sure hes careful lol, i dont wanna hear about him going off a cliff and not being so lucky lol
nah he wont be going off a cliff soon but he sure is still crazy at trying things that seem inposible. when he flew off the cliff he was in his 240z and the only mods it had was urethane bushings, headers to straight pipe and apexi tip. oh and he still had open diff on the damn thing...which got me suprised but he explained how he weight transfered to drift cause with open you cant clutch kick or hand brake cause it wont power over the way you want it too. but yeah of course the z lived after the accident and the only thing damaged on the whole car was the roof and light body elsewere. Zs are devils...lol

haha, no thats a different time, that was June 29th, we went on a cruise to North Americas Highest Auto Road, Mt.

I didn't see it, or even here about til two days later, but I guess they were completely fine, it was just the car that was totalled.

The one I mentioned here, my friend was tryin to beat his old time, so he was racing, clipped a curb, spun out, went off a 4ft revine staright into the rock which flipped him over. I mean it was horrible, I thought my heart stopped when I first saw the car... I was about to follow him and film it, but he said my HIDs were too bright Too bad, that would've been a youtube winner for sure!!!!

I'm assuming that they're Mercury Grand Marquis wheels. Or Lincoln Mark/Continental something.

the grand marquis/ crown victoria are are 96 to like 2001 its the highest model they usually have an ugly center cap, and they are kinda hard to find in junk yards it took me about 2 months of junkyard diving to find my set, and i went 4 time out of the week, and for the lsc i have no idea what year it was i just stumbled upon them and i figured it would look nice with a small lip in the front and the bigger lip in the rear they have the exact same pattern, and if u have four piston calipers in the from u are going to need to get longer studs and a 5/16 wheel spacers otherwise they will rub on caliper... i found out the hard way

Thats hilarious, thats kinda what my plan is. A little different, but I'm glad you posted that, now I know what mine will look like. Just like that, but the GT300 hood, paint the lip on the bottomj black, and have black headlight housings. And a carbon, wangan style spoiler. Other than that, it'll look just like that!

ahh, the IMSA cars, those were some of the best looking racecars of the time. The Team Highball cars also had a two-tone, but a bit different at the rear
