Default Finally installed my rims!

Just installed my wheels/tires today. I fell in love with my car all over again. As soon as my fog light comes in (hit a rabbit and broke the passenger side fog light), i'm gonna take the chrome grills off. I am also getting vinyl on my hood I don't know what its called but it's on the Steeda stangs, covers most of the hood. Also gonna tint the fogs and the turn signals, then I should be done with the looks for a while. I'm eager to drive the car around.

Man, I was driving from FL to Chicago, and the drive was 17 hours. I decided to do it straight. Anyway at around 3-4am I was cruising at about 80mph. I'm sleepy and singing really loud to try and stay awake. A damn rabbit jumps in front of me and by the time i noticed it, it was too late. If I swerved I would've lost control, so I knew there was going to be an impact. The rabbit jumped right before I hit him, broke the fog light braket on the passenger side. If you look at my pic you can see that the fog light looks crooked. I'm bidding on a new one as we speak.

Man, ur car inspired me to pick these rims Tampa. I saw the post where the guy shipped out ur lip, what a relief huh?

As far as the Air Force goes, I actually separated last week after 10 years of service. It's cool though I am now a government contractor and am making 3 times as much as I was when I was in the AF. You stationed at MacDill? I've done a few TDY's to MacDill.
