Ive got one more year, thank god...
at least my summer job pays 10 bucks an hour... If I didnt need to overhaul my suspension, I'd get some gears for this thing, but my fox rides like a panzer as it is, so I gotta take care of that first...

I was driving a road near my house when some douchebag trucker decided he wasn't going to wait for me to pass to make his turn. He swung the turn wide just as I was passing the intersection and it was either get hit by a tractor-tralier or swearve to avoid him, so I swearved and the car got away from me at about 35 mph and ended up face first into a telephone pole. I can post up the pics after work but the body is pretty much shot, so I'm searching for a roller chassis right now to put my drivetrain into.

I just picked up a '85 4banger to DD. In about a year ill build it up once we get settled in our new place.
deal's are out there. My GF came across the '85 on craigslist. We where lucky to get there before the guy sold it, first day posting the ad he had over 10call's he said. we picked it up that night.
good luck

By the time I got out of the car the guy was flying away. I got most of his plate number but the cops said the odds of finding the guy were slim, and even if they did there's not much they could do because our vehicles never came into contact and it would be his word against mine.
The only good thing to come out of the situation is I found an almost perfect 86 roller for a very reasonable price, so I finally get that 4-eye I've always wanted.
