Default My car is "smooth" now.

I waxed it, smoke'd the tail lights and took off the side-moldings. I love my car now!

Sorry, I don't have pics. I'll take some tomorrow!


EDIT: Sorrry it took so damn long. My camera battery crapped out on me and someone gave me the idea to use my phone's camera. Also, I need help with my muffler tip guys, it moves when I hit a bump.

Pics of under hood (taken with dead camera)







Newest pics of my car (crappy quality)







DAMN MUFFLER IS BEING HELD SKETCHILY!!!

You definitely could have barred your excitement for 1 more day while you took pictures. You get to look at your car and be excited. We just have to wonder and wait in torture.

I'm sure you'll make a whole new thread for the pics too. Each of them if I were a betting man.

Odds are if someone was a smartass on this site in the past few days, it was this fella.

Maybe his chem final has come and gone and I hope he passed with flying colors so he can chill out maybe become likable. Also post fewer threads.

Looking forward to it, oh and don't forget to dress the tires. Nothing worse than a clean car with dirty, dry tires.
