i just wanted to drop you guys(and girls) a line and say whats up. i'm still waaaay the fuck out in phoenix, and although it isn't the good old bay area, it's not so bad.
i just signed up to take the GRE so i can finally get into graduate school and prolly come back to the bay.
as for the cars, the lexus is still pretty much the same as before except i put a 10in sub in the trunk.
the stang, Ethel, has been seeing a lot of street duty since the weather has finally dropped under 100 degrees! i just recently finished up a real clean T5 conversion to replace the busted 3 speed automatic that she came with. i then had a mustang shop out here slap in a 9in with 3.50 gears and a new driveshaft and u joints. she drives great and since i haven't been able to shift gears since the droptop was stolen, i love driving her.

i hope everyone has a great holiday season and i hope you stay safe.

Posted by shiftylx (Member # 2670) on :

i gave the droptop up to a friend who was going to build it, then he couldn't, so he to another one of my friends. i think he is just sitting n it. it' sad, but that car has A LOT of work to get her streetable again. those bitches took EVERYTHING, even the dash vents! heres a pic from the impound:
