is the car silver? http://www.tvsquad.com/images/2005/10/stewie.jpg because if it was, that would just be too clever.

Haha, no it's black, and I don't have pics yet. However, the body just happened to be the down fall to the whole gig. She's ugly :) But I don't care, I am still in awe everytime I drive it. What was I thinking this whole time?!

AJ- Pass that $5 my way ;) Stephan and I made a deal that if I got this car I had to keep it. Not like I'll object to that.

Peter: Yah, I'm still getting my apartment. However the last place fell thru due to lack of 1 BR's. But I still have plenty of money for that. Like I said I really didn't have to pay much for the car at all.

We are for sure going to get the fuse squared away, as welll as the fan and hopefully what seems to be a boost leak. I think the open down pipe maybe next to go. It pissed off my dad, neighbors and I'm sure it pissed off Matt's neighbors at 5 am this morning, haha

Yah Swanny, I thought it was odd that you didn't have any. Oh well, ghetto-ness works for now. Seems to be doing quite well actually. Volts stay up as long as I turn the radio down at stop lights, though it never drops past 12.1.

I may bring it to Applebees depending on how lazy I am. Plus for the first time in my life I sadly watched as my gas gage dropped for 3/4 tank to 1/4 tank in less than a day. I'll have to get used to that haha.

Thank's everyone, though! I'm REALLY excited and happy about this. Should be interesting to see where it goes. Considering all the shit that happened before the car came along, I'm thinking it's either going to be the best thing thats ever happened in my little life, or my worst nightmare, and being that its a DSM, the odds don't look good. But I have hope! I plan on fixing up the body as much as I can, attempting to leave it as stock as possible [though I doubt this], and try to use it more as a tool of learning, rather than an all out race car right away. But I am happy with it :)

I already checked it out. It would have been better if she had brought it to my work up at Batteries Plus, have alot more tools, but from what I could tell the Alternator was charging and the battery actually taking and holding a charge.

Paul: Eh, Pictures are over rated. She rusty and faded :)

Reid: Thanks :) feels good to be un-n00b-ed. Though I still consider myself a n00b, and will until I get better with this thing.

Talian: Thanks :) So far everything's working out great other than the fact that I could have possibly blown my subs, but I love it anyways.

Spease: Haha Yah I saw you and I was like Hooooooly shit thats a nice DSM.. Oh wait it's Spease! But yah, you should have launched harder. I want to see that thing really go for it!
